Changes to Weekend Masses in Halifax

From this weekend (Saturday 1^st/Sunday 2^nd August) the Saturday evening 5pm Mass at St Malachy’s & 6.30pm Mass at St Theresa’ Queensbury will be discontinued and a 5pm Mass at St Bernard’s will be inaugurated.

Parishioners who may find attending weekend Mass in a neighbouring church easier can ensure that their financial donation continue to support St Malachy’s by using our Parish Envelopes or setting up a Standing Oder. Anyone who will struggle to attend an alternative Mass to the Saturday 5pm Mass at St Malachy should let Fr Michael know so he can add them to the home communion list.

With the loss of the Saturday evening provision for the Sacrament of Confession Fr. Michael will be available on the First and Third Sundays of the month before the morning Mass, from 8.15-8.45am
