Joy of Hope
Remember our Parish Advent programme, 'The Joy of Hope', which running on either Monday afternoon or Wednesday evening starts next week.  It is a four week programme comprising a one-hour session each week via Zoom. Filmed on the Greek Holy island of Patmos, each session includes an engaging mix of teaching, scripture meditation and prayerful response with some praise and worship and time for reflection.  Please contact the Parish office to register your interest and receive the meeting link.

Also, a date for your diaries, on Friday 4th December the parish musicians will be leading an Advent Service, as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. The service will include hymns and readings, and last from 7:30pm to 8:45pm. A link will be advertised nearer the time.

Arrangements for lockdown from 5th November 2020

Dear Parishioners,

As part of the government's lockdown requirements for the period November 5th to December 2nd, all places of worship must be closed to public liturgy. St Margaret’s, unfortunately will have to remain closed for Mass over the next four weeks. Churches may remain open for private prayer, and St Margaret’s will be open on Saturday mornings from 10:30am to 1:00pm, and at other times by request.

The following Mass schedule will be available on Youtube:
Sunday - 10:30am (with music)
Weekdays - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday - 10:00am
Rosary (via Zoom) - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday - 9:30am

May I remind you, on a much more positive note that the Parish Advent programme, 'The Joy of Hope', will take place on Mondays at 2:00pm, and Wednesdays at 8:00pm starting the week beginning Monday 23rd November. A link will be advertised nearer the time.

On Friday 4th December the parish musicians will be leading an Advent Service, as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. The service will include hymns and readings, and last from 7:30pm to 8:45pm. A link will be advertised nearer the time.

This second lockdown will try the patience of everyone, and may well have severe economic consequences, but it will not last for ever, and our waiting to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ will give us all hope at this time. We pray that the country and world be delivered form this pandemic and a more religious and just society emerge afterwards.

With good wishes
Fr Peter
