Scripture on a rope 

The Holy Rosary is scripture on a rope. Our Lady leads us, as she always does, to her Divine Son and supports our praying the mysteries of our salvation. The Rosary has been much loved and encouraged for centuries. It is much loved form of meditation and prayer and one which would be a wonderful Advent resolution as we prepare for our annual celebration of the Lord's official birthday. Throughout the season of Advent the Joy Mysteries aid us in our meditation of the God made flesh.

The downloadable booklet of the Mercy Stations contain pictures of the Stations of the Cross in St John's Church. The Stations of the Cross is an ancient and beautiful way of praying throughout the year but particularly on Fridays and throughout the great season of Lent.

Having the sad task of planning a Funeral is never easy and can seem daunting. The documents (also at 'Prayer and Devotions' on this website) are intended to help. However, please do not hesitate to contact your priest who will help and guide you in the process. The first document is an A3 (4 x A4 sheets) printable document and is intended to as a help and guide to making clear your own wishes for your own funeral. It should be completed and retained with your important documents and Will or given to your family. The idea is to make things easier for your family to know your wishes concerning your funeral. Some people think that it is morbid to plan such things, however, a little planning can be a great help to those left behind.
