Advent is a time of watching and waiting. It is a season for making new beginnings – a time when we reflect on our own lives as we anticipate the coming of Christ. In order to help with this there are special events in both parishes this week and next.

There will be a Mass of Healing (i.e. with anointing of the sick) at Frinton and Walton on Wednesday (12th) at 12 noon and at Harwich and Dovercourt on Friday (14th) at 10.00am.
