We continue to celebrate Mass in the church every weekend: 7.30pm (Saturday Vigil Mass), 11.30am and 6.30pm. Sadly we have turn away worshippers once we reach our 100 limit, which is happening at the two Sunday Masses. However, there is still plenty of room at the 7.30pm Vigil Mass, so please attend that one if you can.

The Sunday 11.30 Mass continues to be live-streamed via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/stalphonseluxembourg/  The feedback is that the sound quality has improved – thank you to all our volunteers who are working on this. You do not need a Facebook account to access this – please just click on the link above. The readings for the Mass can be accessed here:

LIGHT FOR THE DARKNESS

For some Christmas is not easy: loneliness, loss, illness, grief, and anxiety feel at odds with the seemingly relentless good cheer of Christmas. This pain is not just individual and personal – many of us, while fine ourselves, are worried about those we love. And the world aches everywhere. Light for the Darkness is a space in which we can bring our personal and collective pain to God, trusting in his comfort and mercy, and opening ourselves and the world to the transforming power of his love. We hold the pain in the light of the hope of Christ.

A prayer station will be open in St Alphonse Church all  day and you are invited to drop in at your convenience and leave a prayer in the manger. At 19:00 we will have a quiet prayer service at St Alphonse. 

Light for the Darkness is an ecumenical service offered together with offered the Anglican Community and All Nations Church.

A friend of a member of our community, who has just been granted refugee status, is looking for work. He has 8 years of experience as loader operator, speaks English and is learning French. His French level is now A2. He is looking for a job in construction. He would be very grateful if someone knows of an opportunity that he could apply for. Please contact the parish office in the first instance.

Please see times for Masses over Christmas through to 1 January. Details of live-streaming for Masses and Mass sheets will be published shortly. Please note that sadly we have to limit places in the church to 100 in line with government regulations so please arrive in good time.
