Due to current health and hygiene precautions and advice for the Corona virus it has been decided to postpone the pot-puck lunch on Sunday 15 March until later in the year.
Thank you to the Pastoral and Community Life Committee for organising this initiative and we look forward to sharing lunch together to celebrate the richness of our cultural backgrounds in the future.
This informal group meets on the first Wednesday of each month and is an opportunity to meet and make friends in our community.
Come along between 10.00 and 12 noon for a cup of tea / coffee and a chat. All ages are welcome (We have lots of toys to entertain young children).
Katherine from our community is running a card making workshop on Saturday 21 March from 10.00 – 16.00 in the Garden Room. This is an opportunity to learn how to make personalised, hand crafted cards. All proceeds will be donated to the Ilula Orphanage Program. More information is available by clicking on the flyer below.

This year we will be celebrating the Feast of St Patrick on Saturday 14 March. We are celebrating St Patrick in 3 ways, all closely linked: a procession from the Gëlle Fra (the golden statue opposite the cathedral), led by a piper, to the church of St Alphonse; a Mass with Irish cultural references; then a feast at the back of the church.
Since the beginning of our English-speaking Catholic community here in Luxembourg, the Irish community has been one of the main driving forces in our parish, in terms of faith, practical engagement, and supporting a spirit of openness to all-comers. And wherever there are Irish people, there is, of course, a celebration of St Patrick. His Feast Day, is a celebration of the whole missionary activity of our Church.
Assemble at the Gëlle Fra at 10:40 for the procession to the church, Saturday 14th March:
Mass at 11:00
Feast in the church, 11:45-ish.
All welcome. And all must bring at least 2 friends who have never participated in a St Patrick’s Day celebration before.
