Tohid Tohidi, an Iranian singer, has firmly established a foothold in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. More than that, he is committed to building relations between residents and refugees; this is an invitation to discover how he does this through his music. Come to this concert and discover!
The concert is on 28th June at 19:00 LE PARC, DERRIÈRE LE FOYER
28 RUE D’EICH L-1460 LUXEMBOURG
Full details can be found on the flyer here.
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.

Charity lunch for Venezuela — Members of our parish community have organised a charity lunch for Venezuela, 12:00 on Wednesday 20th June, to be held at the Brasserie du Cercle, Place d’Armes, Luxembourg. In the current grave economic crisis in Venezuela, this group is raising desperately needed funds for people in dire need. See below for details and contact information.
MP DAY
Our next Marriage Preparation Day will be on Saturday, 16 June 2018, from 10:00 – 16:00 at the Centre Jean XXIII near Kirchberg (the course after that will be in October 2018, details to be confirmed).
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.
The course is for Catholic and non-Catholic partners.
Exceptionally (due to scheduling issues, for example) you can take the course after your church wedding. If you wish to register for the June date, please see contact details below. 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 June course will be presented by members of our English-speaking parish, in association with MarriageCare UK.
To register, or for questions, please contact Martin or Natasa.

In recent weeks we have been happy to welcome Fr Valentine to our community — many have spoken with him after weekend Masses. Fr Valentine has generously agreed to be available to assist in our parish community while he is in Luxembourg (ie until November); he is available for Confession, blessings of homes, visits to the sick at home or in hospital, available for a chat, and for other pastoral duties. Normally Fr Valentine will need transport arranged as he does not know his way around Luxembourg.
Meeting rooms can be arranged at St Alphonse as required.
Equally, I’m sure Fr Valentine would enjoy simply spending time with members of our community.
Fr Valentine can be contacted by email or by mobile: (+352) 621 352 037
