Today we are invited to ‘Rejoice in the Lord always…’ The Third Sunday in Advent sounds the bell of devoted joy – undivided in heart we turn to God in the great expectation of the gift of the Child Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem andon our Advent journey we await in hope  the fullness of time. In the octave before Christmas we celebrate Covenant Mass tomorrow, Monday 18th December 2017 and we would like to invite you to Mass at the Shrine at 7.30pm followed by our Advent Christmas celebration. You are welcome to bring a donation for our food and clothes bank. We look forward to seeing you at this Mass prepared by the Mount Carmel group and led by the St Edmund’s music group.

Dear friends

Many of you will know Dorothy Shields from the Leeds Rainbow group. It is with great sorrow that I have to confirm that Dorothy Shields has passed away yesterday. May she rest in peace. I have spoken to her nephew, Phil, who used Dorothy’s facebook page to let people know. Many names Dorothy had asked to be informed had no contact numbers. Dorothy’s Requiem is planned for Wednesday 20th December at 10.45am at the Church of Christ the King,
