Tomorrow, Saturday 1st January 2022, I will celebrate an additional Mass for the Five First Saturdays Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. So our schedule will be: 11.00a.m. to 11.45a.m. opportunity for Confession, 12 noon Holy Mass, at the conclusion of Holy Mass Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and recitation of the Holy Rosary, at the conclusion of the Holy Rosary fifteen minutes of silent meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary, ending with Benediction. At Fatima Our Blessed Lady specifically asked that we perform this devotion (Confession, Communion, Rosary & Meditation) to make reparation for the sins against Her Immaculate Heart, so this should be the intention of all attending the devotions described above. Please join us with the intention of continuing this practice throughout the year. This Mass will be the Mass of Mary, Mother of God and is not a Sunday (Vigil) Mass.
