We cannot accommodate very many people, so we may have to turn late responders away – although we could set up a video link in the living room, so some people could watch proceedings from there. We will provide a cold buffet lunch reception after Mass.
The nominal start time for the Mass will be 12:00 noon, but it is possible that there will be a delay as bishop Martyn has to travel from Portsmouth and there might always be traffic issues.
Other liturgies will be held as follows, and you are welcome to attend any or all of them – but in each case you MUST let me know [at least a couple of days] beforehand. All services will be conducted in English.
