Worship

Spirituality is both Catholic and Charismatic in emphasis. Worship is centred on the Mass. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in both churches. Exposition and Benediction, Prayer groups, Bible Study, Alpha and the involvement of lay people in leading prayer and worship are also characteristics of the Parish's life. There are currently two annual pilgrimages to Walsingham and the parish also sends a strong contingent to the annual Anglo Catholic Charismatic Celebration at Ditchingham in Norfolk

SUNDAY MASS: Banns of Marriage are called at this service and prayers for the sick and recently departed are offered.

PREPARATION FOR BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION: Adults are invited to share in an Alpha Course and then continue with instruction in the life of the Church and the Sacraments.
