New Year Updates

St Botolph’s re-opened after the Christmas break yesterday, 3 January. Our first Choral Mass of 2023 will take place today, Wednesday 4 January, at 1.10 pm, and will anticipate the Feast of the Epiphany.

Fr David will be away from church for a little while, having sustained an injury to his right foot in December. Unfortunately this has not healed as anticipated, and has required minor surgery at St Thomas’s Hospital. He is in good spirits, but is quite immobile and has been told that his foot needs total rest for a few weeks.

The normal pattern of weekday services will continue with the exception of the Tuesday 8.10 am Mass, which is suspended for the time being. We are very grateful to the team of visiting clergy who have kindly agreed to cover services in Fr David’s absence.

Best wishes to all for the New Year from the clergy and staff of St Botolph’s, and many thanks for cards, gifts and greetings received.
