Macbeth

Friday 1st November 7.30pm

Saturday 2nd November  7.30pm

Friday 8th November 7.30pm

Saturday 9th November 2.30pm & 7.30pm

“Be bloody, bold and resolute, laugh to scorn the power of man for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth” So say the three witches to Macbeth who, with ‘predictions’ like these, fool Macbeth and of course, bring nothing but harm both to him and to Scotland. Their actions lead to the deaths of many, including Macbeth and his wife, and a legacy of chaos and betrayal.

In this specially abridged version by Ruth Hewitt of Shakespeare’s classic play, accompanied by live music and special effects, you will feel the tension, fear and disbelief as Macbeth’s murderous behaviour escalates.

Come along to experience a truly thought-provoking and sinister theatrical performance at The Broadbent Theatre this November. Several of our parishioners are involved in the production. Click here for more details. 

Some people have already expressed an interest in attending the Friday 8th November 7.30pm performance.  

Month of the Holy Souls

November is the traditional month we pray for the departed. Next weekend envelopes will be available for you to enclose lists of your deceased relatives & friends you wish to remember with a donation towards the Masses celebrated in November. These will be placed in  a box that will remain on the Sanctuary throughout November.

The Christmas Coffee Morning: Will take place Dec 16th in the schoolroom. We need donations of bottles, chocolates etc for the Tombola & nearer the date cakes for the cake stall. Kevin is looking for ideas for stalls & volunteers to run them on the day. Please let me or Kevin know of any suggestions you have for this. A list for volunteers will be placed in the Church nearer the time.

God Bless,

Fr. Robert
