The Celebration of the Mass
On Sunday we celebrate the:
3rd Sunday of Lent
I invite you to pray this Mass with me at home.
Keep safe and I pray that we can meet together very soon.
May God bless you.
– Fr Simon
A Reflection on Fasting and Feasting during Lent
‘Hope through discipline’ is a gentle reflection that you may wish to use throughout Lent as we think about the things we’d like to give up and the things we feel we should try even harder to achieve.
Stations of the Cross
We have a tradition in our parish of meditation on the Stations of the Cross each Friday evening at 7.30pm during Lent.
I invite you to pray the Stations of the Cross with me.

Parish Finances
How you can support our parish during the pandemic…
Several people have kindly contacted the parish to ask about how to continue to finance St Bede’s during this difficult time. The easiest solution is to set up a standing order with the bank to pay directly into the parish account
(this can of course be cancelled at any time).
If you wish to do this then please email Fr Simon at the address below and bank details can be provided – please state in your email that you wish to support St Bede’s. You can appreciate that virtually our sole source of income is via the Offertory collection on a Sunday which has of course finished due to the present regulations.
Sincere thanks for your support.
Prayers during the Pandemic
“It was the great biblical scholar, St. Jerome, who said that “ignorance of the scriptures is ignorance of Christ”. The scriptures are a deep well which never runs dry; if we take time to engage with the word of the Lord prayerfully then it will refresh and energise us in God’s service.”
Bishop Robert – Pastoral Letter, September 2019
Sacramental Preparation
Baptism is the first of the seven Sacraments of the Church. It is a wonderful celebration that marks your child’s entry into the Christian family. . .
Our Confirmation programme for all young people, in Y9 and above, is co-ordinated and celebrated on a Partnership level
The programme for preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are delivered through the Parish and follow the Diocesan Programme. . .
Preparing for a Wedding is complicated, but preparing for marriage addresses the heart of a relationship that needs time and guidance.
