Afternoon Concert in Wantage Parish Church this Sunday

A young musician of considerable talent, Jeremy will be playing a variety of pieces. A wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon in July - and donations received contribute to the work of the parish.

Ordination in Wantage Parish Church

On Saturday evening one of the parish curates was ordained priest in the Parish Church. Bishop Lindsay Urwin, Administrator of the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, preached, ordained and celebrated. Fr Dominic, who was made priest, was supported by the prayers of a full church, the saints and the angels. The Archdeacon of Oxford received Fr Dominic's oaths of allegiance to the Monarch and obedience to the Bishop of Oxford, on his first visit to Wantage in his new role in the diocese. 

Fizz and delicious cake followed.

A first Mass followed the next morning, celebrating the patrons of the church, Saints Peter and Paul. 

And a superb bring and share lunch, for which many people stayed. 

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making it such a wonderful weekend of celebration. 

With humble spirit and contrite heart may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and may our sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God.

Choir Summer tour to Llandaff Cathedral

Plans are now well advanced for the choir’s summer tour to Llandaff Cathedral – officially the Church of SS Peter & Paul, Dyfrig, Teilo and Euddogwy, which is the seat of the Most Rev’d Dr Barry Morgan, the Bishop of Llandaff and Archbishop of Wales.  Between Friday 26^th July and Sunday 28^th, the choir will be singing at four services, and during their free time on Saturday will be visiting Cardiff Castle or St Fagans National History Museum, both of which are close to the Cathedral. 

There are currently 43 in the Wantage party and the choir would welcome any further support.  Llandaff is less than two hours’ journey by car and well worth a visit.
