Father David’s News
At Holy Angels, Ash AGM the suitability of the present weekend Mass Time was discussed. Two people asked if we could have a vote on the Mass Times. I am aware that the change from Saturday evening Mass to Sunday evening (which took place before I came) caused a number of people difficulties. I do not want to cause anyone any inconvenience. However, as the Diocese has (for the Year Book) asked us to confirm our present Mass Times for Next Year. I am taking the opportunity to consult.
Please let Rita, our Parish Secretary, know by phone, email or letter if:-
A: It would be helpful to you if the Weekend evening Mass were to be changed to Saturday
B: If the weekend evening Mass were changed to Saturday and there was no Sunday evening Mass, it would make it difficult for you to get to Mass.
Father Paul Dzwig will be looking after the Parishes for the next two weeks supported by our Deacon Rev. John Edwards.
God Bless you all, Father David
