Message from Fr Mark

As I continue into my 21st year as a priest in the Clifton Diocese, I thank Bishop Bosco for this new opportunity and appointment to be parish priest and to look after St Mary’s and St Michael’s. I am looking forward to being a pilgrim of hope alongside you and getting to know both communities over the coming years and building on the work of Fr Dominic and his predecessors began. Together may we have the vision, energy and faithfulness in prayer and rise to the challenge to bring new life to our communities. I am ready to serve you with joy in my heart - please keep me in your prayers. Pax et bonum

IMPORTANT: Parish Hall lift Installation

The remedial work, in relation to the lift in the hall has now started. 

Every attempt will be made to ensure that there is no work carried out during booking periods. 

But please note that it is important that nobody, under any circumstance, enters either the ground floor storeroom or the upper kitchen at any time until the lift people come in October to install the lift and have completed their work.

"Danger - No Entry" signs will be in  place.

Please note: The first breach will result in the hall being totally off limits for the duration of the works.

Celebrating 16 Years of the Glastonbury–Patmos Twinning

On Sunday 21st September, the Shrine of Our Lady of Glastonbury marked the 16th Anniversary of the perpetual twinning of Glastonbury with the holy island of Patmos.

During Mass, a 7-day candle was lit on the altar of the Lady Chapel, placed beneath the Karoussos Icons — a prayerful sign of the spiritual bond between our two sacred places.
