Advent Carol Service

By Chris Moore • November 18, 2025
On Friday 12th December at 6.30pm we are holding our annual, ADVENT CAROL SERVICE. This year we welcome the choir of St Mary’s Lugwardine who will be joining us as we gather to sing the praises of God. St Augustine famously said: “They who sing pray twice” and this is an ideal opportunity for us to give glory to the God who comes to us in humility and love. So come along and join in thanksgiving and praise. There will be mulled wine and mince pies to keep us going. Jubilate deo omnis terra. (Praise the Lord all nations on Earth)
This Hereford parish is part of the Herefordshire Catholic Deanery within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia. Our Archbishop, the Most Rev Mark O'Toole was appointed bishop on 20th June 2022 by His Holiness Pope Francis.

About Our Parish

"Dare to dream big dreams..."

Pope Francis teaches us that the youth of today must not live in fear, but must strive to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship should be a foundation for our younger generation to "dare to dream big dreams" with confidence and without fear.
