Community News

As we announced a fortnight ago, Bishop Declan has given us permission to take a Sabbatical (time away from the normal parish life but as priests of the Diocese) from the beginning of 2022. This will allow us to find out where we can flourish as a community.

We said last week that we had become a 'Public Association' which means that we can accept new members and expand, but the presbytery in Glastonbury is too small, and we cannot grow here. Also, an integral part of our community is the celebration of the Latin Mass, which is no longer possible in this Diocese.

So we will be around until the end of the year, and we depart in the new year. As soon as we know what the Bishop is going to do with our four parishes, and who your new priests will be, we will let you know straight away.

Please pray for us, as we do for you
