A warm welcome to everyone. Tea and coffee are served after the 10.00am Mass on Sundays and the 09.30 Mass on Wednesdays; all are invited to join us. Father Alex offers a warm welcome to anyone who is visiting the parish this week.

Clergy Thoughts: There’s no mistaking the theme of the liturgy this Sunday which is all about forgiveness and mercy – basic attitudes that every Christian must put into practice. Apart from the command to love one another as he loves us, there is no obligation which Christ taught more forcefully than that of showing forgiveness. In the actual circumstances of everyday life, forgiveness is more often talked about than put into practice because it is difficult and demanding and requires a great deal of effort. If we are to be true channels of the Lord’s grace, then Christ must be the standard by which we measure and shape our lives. Put simply; God forgives, so must we! Deacon Ken.

Confirmation: All children aged 11 years old and above including adults who have received their First Holy Communion are eligible to register for the Sacrament of Confirmation Programme 2026-27.

Please pick up a form at the Community Room. Deadline of registration:  Sunday, 27.9.26.

Holy Trinity Parish Golden Jubilee celebration on Sunday 27th September.

We are progressing well with plans for our Holy Trinity Parish celebration of our diocesan Golden Jubilee.  Mass at 11am on this day will be followed by International Finger Food. Please could parishioners bring a plate of finger food to share in the community room. We will be serving soft drinks and tea and coffee from the kitchen. 

SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER- There will only be ONE SUNDAY MASS this weekend, to invite all parishioners to celebrate the Parish Golden Jubilee. Therefore, there will not be 6.00 Vigil Mass on Saturday 26th September.

Parents and Grandparents 

We have been working very hard trying to engage the children in various activities, but this is only possible with your help. In the run up to the Jubilee celebration mass, we are asking that all children can attend the Sunday morning masses in order for the planned activities to be able to take place. These include a time capsule, contribution and helping to write a children's prayer and learning a song to perform at the Jubilee mass this will require the children to stay behind after the Sunday mass for no longer than 10mins.Informationsheets are available in the meeting room. Please take one and help us make it possible. Helen, Jeryln and Lilian.

Sunday 13th September 3 – 4pm Diss Churches Together are holding A reflective Taizé style service of music & prayer at Diss URC. Everyone Welcome
