A Reminder – The Wednesday Word

The Wednesday WORD is a resource for you to use at home. The idea is that you spend some time working through the readings for the following Sunday, it is put together by a Jesuit priest who will lead you through the readings as well as giving insights into the readings.

To get to the Wednesday Word site, simply press this link http://wednesdayword.org/

This information is on our website. This is something you might like to make use of during the period of Advent.


 Weekday Mass

I would like to encourage you, if you are able, to join us for weekday masses on Wednesday and Friday at Sacred Heart and Tuesday and Thursday at St Joseph’s, Mossley.  I always think that beginning the day with holy Mass is a great way to begin any day.  Why not think about it and come along to join us?
