Changes to Weekend Masses in Halifax

Fr Bob Owens is retiring at the end of July and the changes to the weekend Masses will take place then. The change takes place as follows:

Saturday 25^th/Sunday 26^th – last weekend of current arrangements.

Saturday 1^st/Sunday 2^nd August – 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.
