We are delighted to be offering children’s Liturgy sessions again at our 11 o’clock mass each Sunday during term time.
If your child is of school age and happy to leave mum or dad to come and join our little group please collect a permission slip from Karen before mass.
If you are able to assist with our group by leading one session each half term please do shout out!
Confirmation and Bishop’s Visit
On September 23rd, Our Lady of Grace Church welcomed a number of young people and their families from across both parishes to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. Preparation took a more unusual format this year due to the Covid restrictions, but the catechists and young people worked hard to ensure that they were ready to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We were delighted to welcome Bishop Patrick to Cotgrave for this special occasion. Whilst here, he blessed the grotto dedicated to Our Lady, as well as the recently-built community room.
It was a wonderful evening of celebration, filled with hope for both our parish and the young people, as they navigate the journey towards a deeper relationship with God. Our prayers are with them.
