Important Notices
FR. PATRICK AS NEW DEAN OF SUTTON: The Archbishop John Wilson has appointed our Parish Priest, Fr. Patrick Udotai, Dean of the Sutton Deanery, effective 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028. His role as Dean in the Archdiocese of Southwark reflects the responsibilities of coordinating, communicating, and supporting common pastoral projects and initiatives among parishes within the deanery. The Archbishop relies on his Deans to help communicate and implement diocesan policies, decisions and recommendations. Kindly pray for Fr. Patrick that God may grant him the needed grace, wisdom and love to fulfil this new role. Amen
Christmas Food Bank
Our Christmas Food Bank will be open to anyone in need on Sunday, 14 December 2025, in the Wardroom from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. Toys and clothing will also be available.
Please invite someone who may need support to stop by. All are warmly welcome.
Dear Parishioners,
Our Christmas Clergy Envelopes are now available. This is a wonderful opportunity to show our heartfelt appreciation for our priests, especially after a challenging year when much of the parish’s liturgical life was supported by a single priest until the arrival of Fr. Charles. Envelopes can be found in both foyers and may be placed in the blue collection bags. If you give by bank transfer, please use the reference “Priest Gift.” Thank you sincerely for your generosity and kindness. God bless you all.
