Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Truth and beauty surround him, he lives in holiness and glory. (Psalm 96:1,6)

My dear friends in Christ, we come together to offer this Holy Sacrifice to the God that calls us to discipleship.

We pray with special intention for the life work and witness of the parish and that we may be given the grace to follow him and be fishers of souls.

The grace of God has dawned upon the world
through our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who sacrificed himself for us to purify a people as his own.
Let us therefore confess our sins.

I confess…

All-powerful and ever-living God,

one God, for ever and ever.
