ABOUT OUR WEEKEND MASSES
We are blessed to have 4 Masses celebrated here each weekend and each has a unique style and atmosphere.
To ensure you are attending the Mass that best suits your preference of liturgical style, and family commitments, we offer you the following summary
Saturday Vigil Mass 6.30pm – Sacred Heart
The quietest of our Sunday Masses that enjoys a traditional feel with some organ music and is the easiest to ensure social distance for those who are concerned.
Sunday 9am – Sacred Heart
Generally, a traditional liturgical feel; organ hymns, parts of the mass are sometimes sung, incense is used with the support of the altar servers and the offering of a Children’s Liturgy. Generally, more families in attendance. Fellowship is offered after Mass with refreshments.
Sunday 11am – St Philip Howard Church
A more modern liturgical feel; more praise and worship songs than traditional hymns, parts of the mass are sung and often there are celebration of various rites in the life of the parish community. Sometimes incense is used by the servers. Generally, more families in attendance. Fellowship is offered after Mass with refreshments. This Mass is live streamed and enjoys a PowerPoint support on screens for the words of the hymns, parts of the mass and the responses.
Sunday 6pm St Philip Howard Church
A quieter more contemplative celebration of the Sunday Eucharist. Maybe one or two hymns ranging from traditional to modern. This Mass is streamed and also enjoys a PowerPoint support on screens.
