TRANSCRIPT
May is Mary’s Month.the MeMorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone
who fled to thy protection, implored thy help,
or sought thineintercession was left unaided.Inspired by this confidence,
I fly untothee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Welcome to our Church today, after the Parish Mass refreshments will be served at the back of Church. Please join us and make yourself known to one of the clergy.
This ancient church has been a place of Christian worship of Almighty God for well over 1,000 years; as we enter the third millennium of our salvation it is salutary to remember that Christians have gather here on this spot since the first millennium.
If you would like to pray, the Lady Chapel is set aside as a place of quiet, where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved or you might like to light a candle at one of the many shrines around church.
