THURSDAY MASS TIME

As part of our School mission, we are going to change our Thursday Mass time from 8am to 9am from 7 July this year. Our aim is to offer children from our Parish school a weekly opportunity to attend Mass.

So far, we have received positive response from our School Staff and hope that this initiative of ours will help rejuvenate the flame of faith within both the children and parents.
