Holy Family Mass & Statues

Friday 30th December: Feast of the Holy Family: Mass (in English) 11:00
The beautiful statues of the Holy Family, hidden away in December 1939 just 6 months before the invasion of Luxembourg by the Nazis in May 1940 and rediscovered 2 years ago, will be on display in St Alphonse until 12:30 on this day. Also on display will be a beautiful, richly embroidered banner of the Holy Family, recently rediscovered. Come along to pray for our own families, and see these wonderful devotional pieces of church art.

Marriage Preparation Day February 2017

 

Marriage Preparation Day

Our next Marriage Preparation Day will be on Saturday, February 11 2017, from 10:00 – 17:00 at the Centre Jean XXIII near Kirchberg. This course is for couples preparing for marriage: it’s not about preparing you for the ceremony itself, but for the rest of your married life together. These days have been both popular and highly rated; input is given by trained Marriage Preparation presenters, and as couples you have an opportunity also to share your own experience of life together.

Exceptionally (due to scheduling issues, for example) you can take the course after your church wedding. If you wish to register for the February date, please contact me and I will subscribe you. To cover costs, we ask €75 from each couple; if this is beyond your means, no problem — again, just get in touch. Refreshments and a sandwich lunch are provided.

Our February course will be presented by Kit and Caroline Dollard who work both for the diocese of Middlesbrough and the Abbey of Ampleforth in the UK.
