Mass and Confession times
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available on request and between 4.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturday evenings, and from 10am to 10.30am every Friday morning (except in August)
Mass times – 5.30pm on a Saturday (Vigil Mass) and 9.45am and 11.30am on Sundays.
Live Streaming – has now been installed at Holy Cross Church, and is available via

This facility is available for all Masses. This means that those confined to home and unable to get to Mass for any reason will be able to participate from a distance and experience a closer bond with the parish community.
During the celebration of Mass, you are encouraged to make an act of Spiritual Communion at Holy Communion time. Obviously, this does not replace the actual reception of the Holy Eucharist, but can still be a moment of intense personal prayer.
‘My Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. I fervently ask, never let me be parted from You. Amen.’ Some Masses will be recorded.
