I celebrate a private Mass daily in the Church and in the bidding prayers I pray for the parish and your intentions.
All Masses for which intentions have been received will be celebrated on the dates as close to those originally agreed as possible, but I will not be able to guarantee the date. All Masses will however be celebrated.
Anointing of the Sick
