WEEKDAY MASSES
Masses during the week are at 10.00 am and 7.00 pm. The weekday Mass provides the basis for a very rich spiritual life. The continuous reading of God's Word is an opportunity for reflective prayer or meditation. The second Eucharistic Prayer is the normal weekday Eucharistic Prayer and is the earliest of the four prayers which we now use. Like the readings, it has much to teach us about the Eucharist and our life with Christ
