Feast of the Assumption
Feast of the Assumption
Two masses will be taking place today to commemorate when Our Lady, died and was assumed into heaven to be reunited with her soul, instead of going through the natural process of physical decay upon death.
The first mass will take place at 11am and the second will be held in the evening at 7pm.
Our Common Home Meeting
We meet each month in the parish library before 11am Mass.

Rock - coming to Christ the King!!!!
51 years ago Dom Edmund Jones, our then parish priest, challenged 2 young musicians who were running the “Group Mass” to write a religious rock musical for members of the youth club to perform. He was obsessed with the hit West-End musical ‘Godspell”. Actually he’d seen it over 20 times ! Those musicians were Anthony Filby and Jo Collins. They rose to the challenge and ‘ROCK’ the musical was born, based on the life of St Peter. It was an overwhelming success.
The following year, spurred on by its success, we were determined to continue to create pieces of theatre, joined then by Mary Ward ( who had moved into the parish) and Chickenshed was born.
So, to celebrate Chickenshed's 50th year, we would like to revisit ‘Rock’ and would like to invite not only our parish members but our neighbouring parishes to take part.
At the moment all we have are the dates, which are Sunday March 24th at the church and then March 25th at the Chickenshed Theatre.
Details to follow!!!
