Whilst Fr Philip is away this week and the weather looks treacherous evening worship will take place online as something of an experiment. As during the Covid era Fr Andrew will stream Evening Prayer (Vespers) via his Facebook page. If you don’t have a Facebook account don’t worry you can visit his page and watch the livestream as with an ordinary website, simply go to www.facebook.com/frandrewswift. Facebook will of course encourage you to sign up, but you don’t have to!

Liturgical days:
Next to each date is the liturgical day we are celebrating – sometimes this is a particular feast or saint’s day, this is indicated by their name and something about them: Ap = Apostle, M = Martyr, PM = Pope (Pontifex Maximus), Bp = Bishop, Pr = Priest, Dn = Deacon, Dr = Doctor of the Church, Ab = Abbot/Abbess, Rel = Religious, and so on. Associated with that is the colour of the day, this is reflected in the vestments at mass and the altar hangings through the day
Liturgical colours:
G = Green. W = White. R = Red. P = Purple. Bl = Black. Gold. Rose.
Prayer intentions:
Beneath each date, in brackets, is the day’s intention for prayer – if you would like a mass said on a particular day or for a particular occasion please be in touch with Fr Andrew or Fr Philip.
