Alcester Catholic Church

Have you spied the beautiful window on display at the church hall for Window Wanderland ♥️

Reiterating what Fr said at the end of today’s Mass - if you have a child who you would like to be confirmed this year then please get in touch with Fr Geoffrey - once he has a complete list of children to receive the sacrament he will arrange the preparation sessions

Let us know if you come and see the window - and share with us other windows you find on your wander

In regards to the Alcester Churches Together leaflet distributed with the Christmas cards this year please note there is a mistake in the timings advertised for masses at Our Lady and St Joseph’s on Christmas Eve. The correct Mass times are as follows:

First Mass of Christmas - Christmas Eve at 5pm
Christmas Vigil - Christmas Eve at 8pm

Masses for the coming week;
Saturday Mass at 10:00am followed by Exposition and Confession.
Sunday Masses are at 08:30am and 10:30am
Monday Mass 2nd Dec 10:00am
Friday Mass 6th Dec 10:30am at Our Lady’s Primary School, Alcester, parishioners very welcome to attend

Friday 6th December is St Nicholas Night - The Alcester Churches Together (of which Fr Geoffrey is currently chair) need volunteers to man the stall on the evening - if you can spare any time please get in touch

Saturday 7th December in the Church Hall 10am - 2pm is a coffee morning in memory of much loved parishioner Lianne Abbott, raising money for The Shakespeare Hospice - please come along and support Lianne’s family and this wonderful cause - with a hot drink and a slice of cake for a suggested donation of £5

The Solemnity of Christ The King was marked at both Sunday Masses this weekend with the enrolment of our younger Altar servers into the Guild of St Stephen - M was enrolled at first Mass and L, J and K at second - we are very proud of all of our Altar Servers

Parish MC is looking for the newest recruits - if you have made your First Holy Communion and would like to Altar serve please get in touch with Mike at [email protected]
