Parish News: First Sunday and Week of Advent

We begin Advent this Sunday; Sung Mass at 11am and Advent Carols by Candlelight with our professional choir at 6pm, followed by drinks. It’s all about being ready for Jesus when he comes by paying attention to God and to each other. 

You can read the scriptures for this week here.

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny, John, Yen, John, Sarah & Reece.

The Faithful departed
The recently departed, all who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.
