Each year we have celebrated an outdoor Mass leading up to the Summer break. Our Mass this year will be in the garden of St Alphonse, with the picnic afterwards in open air or under cover, depending on the weather. The date is set for 8th June, the week before the Anglican Fête, and before the schools close for the summer. All are most welcome to this special parish community event, and are invited to contribute towards the feast. More details to follow soon. Fr Ed

There will be no English-speaking Mass at St Alphonse on Sunday May 11th. This is due to the Messe du Peuple de Dieu taking place at the cathedral at 10:30. I am sorry for any inconvenience this will cause, and for losing our weekly meeting together, but the archbishop requires the priests of the various language groupings to be present, and invites all the congregations also. Mass the following week will, of course, be for the First Holy Communions. Fr Ed
