Time: 7.30 - 9.30pm

If you are interested in running a stall but have not yet registered, please do drop in to attend this briefing as well. See you there!

There will be a Corpus Christi procession on Sunday, 2 June after the 5pm Mass, followed by the Commissioning of Communion Ministers. Hence, the 7pm Mass will be cancelled on that day.

There will be a special Commissioning Service on Fri 24 May at 7pm, to affirm and recognise all who have dedicated their time to the Ministry of Hospitality across different ministries. Hence, there will be NO 6.30pm Mass on this day.

Let us keep them in our prayers that their love for Christ may deepen as they pledge their commitment to serving Him through this hospitality ministry.

Service of Light and Crib Blessing

Date: Wed 20 Dec 2023, 8pm (Rosary starts at 7.30pm)
Venue: Main Church & Piazza

Celebrating 800 years from the first Nativity crib created by St Francis of Assisi at Greccio, St Mary’s will commemorate the occasion with the Lucernarium - lighting up the night, just as the friars and villagers of Greccio once did as they listened to the Good News of Christmas in 1223. The life-sized nativity scene, beautifully recreated at the Piazza, will also be blessed. All are welcome!

Note: Pope Francis has granted the request for the faithful to receive plenary indulgence from 8 Dec 23 to 2 Feb 2024 by praying before a nativity crib set up in a Franciscan Parish (and fulfilling all the usual conditions). Our crib will be on display throughout this period.
