St Mary Mother of God

will be celebrating his Silver Jubilee of Ordination in January. He is honouring us by celebrating the 11.30am Mass this Sunday. We extend our hearty congratulations to him and we feel privileged that he is celebrating such an important occasion at St. Mary s parish.

Homelessness Week in the Diocese will be from 31st January till 8th February. Since our J&P Group had suggested donations on the 25th January we would now like these to be placed in the box which they are providing on Sunday, 1st February. Sunday, 1st February is also Day for the Unemployed and I am sure there is no problem in linking both these issues together.

(MARIAN) DAY on Saturday, 31st January at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Epping from 10.30am till 4.00pm. Includes Mass, Adoration and Rosary. Bring packed lunch / drinks provided. Contact Susan on 01992 575017.

There will be exposition all day every first Friday of each month. There will be a list in the porch a week before so that people can watch for half an hour or an hour. Please fill this in because we do not want the Blessed Sacrament exposed and nobody in the church.
