Please note, as yet no Sunday Masses have been cancelled.
However, for the time being weekday daily Masses and the Friday 7pm Mass in the Extraordinary Form has been cancelled until further notice.
Fr Ray and the parish are very grateful to those priests who have assisted with celebrating Mass during Fr Ray’s illness and period of recuperation, including Fr Bruno Witchalls, Fr Johnathan Martin and Mgr Michael Jackson and Fr Ray extends his thanks and gratitude to those who have sent him well-wishes and who continue to offer prayers for his health.
Please keep Fr Ray and our parish in your prayers.

Pilgrimage to West Grinstead with Bishop Richard
I have five invitations from the Bishop to a pilgrimage to The Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation, at West Grinstead on Sunday 17th July.
There will be a coach leaving from Hove – let me know if you would like one.

Men
I would like to start something in the Parish for men, malady I am not entirely sure what it should be but men in Brighton so often live isolated lives and work crazy hours. Often they live lives that are highly stressed, in Brighton they are likely to suffer from stress and addictions and become the victims of homelessness and suicide.
In our parish we have lots very impressive men, remedy often they have had profound life experiences, that have given them deep wisdom and experience. The Church, families, the world, needs strong men, the Gospels are almost a manual for manliness, for being truly human, for brotherly love because Jesus Christ the God-man is our model in the service of God and the world.
If you think this is an idea which has possibilities, join me this Wednesday evening, after Benediction to put some flesh on my ideas and to share your own.
Why not come to Exposition and Benediction 6.30 –7.30pm, the meeting will end by 8.30pm.
Father Ray
