Welcome to Our Lady's Roman Catholic Church, Stowmarket
Stricklands Road, Stowmarket IP14 1APStowmarket is a Live Simply parish
Public celebration of Mass has restarted
The 6.00 pm Vigil Mass on Saturdays has now returned to Woolpit – all other Masses are being celebrated at Our Lady’s in Stowmarket, and you can attend at 8.30 and 10.15 am on Sundays, and 10.00 am on most weekdays – see the current newsletter for details.
Like all churches we are required to follow government rules – you can find full details on the new ‘Going to Mass’ page.
You will need to print out and fill in a registration card for each Mass you attend – please, if possible, do this before you arrive, and please arrive early so the Stewards have time to seat everyone before Mass begins.
At present there is no Sunday obligation, so you may attend any Mass during the week. If you are unable to attend you can still follow daily Mass (and other services) using the links to the Walsingham Shrine on this page.

Sacrament of Reconciliation
As lockdown prevents many Catholics from accessing the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Pope Francis has encouraged them to ask forgiveness from God directly.
Helping hands group
If you need shopping or medication fetching or know of someone in the parish who does, we will also try to cover this. Please bear in mind that we do not want to put our willing volunteers in any danger or flout the government guidelines. If you need help call Paul McIntee on 01359 242074
Raising funds for the CAFOD Coronavirus Appeal
Thanks to all who attended the Virtual Soup Day on Saturday 23 May, which has so far raised £1,185 for the CAFOD Coronavirus Appeal. If you’d like to donate, it’s still not too late. You can still make soup, too, and if you’re stuck for inspiration do take a look at our very own recipe book.
Be frugal with your soup and send your savings to CAFOD either directly or on our brand new ‘Just Giving’ page.
