Live mass streaming from St Brigid’s

This Sunday we are live-streaming Mass from St Brigid’s at 10.30am. You can reach it either via our website (www.3churches.org) or via YouTube channel “frmhj”.
To find it on YouTube you may need to scroll down the channels that come up on your screen. Please pass this on to as many parishioners as you can.

Mass will then be streamed on Thursday, the feast of the Ascension, also at 10.30am.

Fr Andy and I look forward to welcoming you – for Sunday Mass 10.30am.

Live stream set for mass at St Brigid’s

We hope to live stream Mass next Sunday 17 May at 10.30am. It will be via YouTube, so you will need to find the channel first in order to watch. To find it you may need to scroll down the channels that come up on your screen. Many people have gained a lot from watching the Mass via the internet, and so we hope that the same will be true for us. Mass will be from St Brigid’s church, and I look forward to welcoming you – next Sunday 10.30am.

Editor’s note: We will be linking the live stream channel to this website as soon as it’s set up

Good Shepherd or Vocations Sunday

Dear parishioners and friends of our 3 Churches:

This Sunday is often called Good Shepherd Sunday because the Gospel for each of the three yearly cycles is on a shepherd theme. We also sometimes call it Vocations Sunday for obvious reasons. We are all in a time when the Church is not physically coming together to celebrate the Mass, yet the Church is no less present, because, of course, we are  that Church, wherever we may be. Some may find we have a little more time on our hands. If so, as we think our thoughts and pray our prayers, perhaps we could reflect on vocation. How am I doing as a member of the flock of Christ. Do I only call on him when I’m stranded or do I try to follow him each and every day, to fresh waters and pastures new? Do I pray for vocations to priestly and religious life. Perhaps some may make that prayer not only for others but for themselves. Young adults – is the Good Shepherd calling you to follow him in these particular ways? Ponder, prayer, reflect and most of all, listen.  

Fr Matthew
