This event will be of interest not only to the UK members of our parish community, but because of the wider issues it raises, to many others also.

Next Sunday evening, as usual, we will have an hour of Eucharistic adoration beginning at 18:00, leading into our Mass at 19:00. This time we are privileged to welcome the Liturgical Polyphonic Choir of the shrine of the Divine Mercy, Vilnius, who will accompany our time of prayer, and will also sing during the Mass. This is a rare chance to enjoy beautiful spiritual music in the context of the liturgy — we hear beautiful music, which lifts our hearts and minds to God. Entry free, (free-will collection, CDs available).

Not to be missed!

It’s that time of year again when we imagine there might be a sunny Sunday in Luxembourg where we can risk an outdoor Mass and barbecue… and so, please mark in your diary Sunday 1st July 2018 in the garden of Archbishop’s House, Avenue Marie Thérèse. Whatever the weather, we will be gathering to celebrate Mass together and to share food and fun.

This annual event is always memorable. Single people and families especially welcome and everyone else especially welcome also!  More details to follow — but do reserve the date.
