Youth Sunday - Christ the King
Today is a Day of Special Prayer for Youth. A second collection will be taken to support the work of Catholic Youth. You may use your parish white special collection envelope.
At the 11.00 am Mass today we will celebrate the contribution of our young people in the life of the parish.
St Bede’s School
The school has recently had an OFSTED monitoring visit, its overall assessment is that the school is making “good progress”. It is quite rare for schools in special measures to be given such a positive assessment. Sincere congratulations and respect to all the staff at the school for their high level of dedication and commitment. The parish and parents are delighted that such great progress is being made. The school is still in special measures but there is a real sense that the school is making great strides in its development.
Mass for Sick and Housebound
Annual Mass for sick and housebound will take place on Friday 25th November at 1.00 pm.
