In 1950, the Pope infallibly declared the dogma of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s assumption into heaven. Here’s a newsreel from that day, the 1st Novemebr.
This weekend the Solemnity of the Assumption will be celebrated on Sunday at the usual times.

Cardinal Sarah is Pope Francis’ man in the Congregation for Divine Worship – the office of the Church which deals with all things liturgical.
There has been much talk in recent days about his address in New York to the Sacra Liturgia Conference (which in 2016 meets in London). Following his talk in New York, he’s now published a letter, available below in English, in which he outlines an authentic understanding of the implementation of some the reforms of the Second Vatican Council’s document on the liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium. It makes for interesting reading and will spark much debate in the next months and years as to how parishes may more appropriatly celebrate the sacred mysteries.

The parish website and Facebook page are 1 today!
Many thanks to all those who follow parish events online! In the past year we’ve had 22,525 individual views from 4,802 different people. The busiest month was December when 2,260 pages were viewed, but the busiest day was April 5th with 269 views. the most popular day for looking at the website is Saturday and the most popular time is 6pm. It’s not just locals either – we have a small international following too: here are the stats for international visitors. (NB from Jan1st 2015 to today).
Please do come along to the resources room at St David and St Patrick’s if you’re involved in the ministerial aspect of our parish liturgy. There will be lots of tea and coffee, but do bring a little lunch for the middle of the day. There will be talks, some tips and advice, and time for Qs and As, some light-hearted fun and the service of recommissioning. I hope to see you all there.
