Past Events
Parish Life
Pilgrims to the Parish
On Tuesday, 21 July, our parish welcomed 66 Neo-Catechumenate pilgrims, most of them teenagers and young adults aged between 13 and 32, from London, Portsmouth and Plymouth. They came with great joy to visit the Shrine, and their presence brought a wonderful sense of life and hope to our Church.
It was truly lovely to see so many young people gathered together, praying, and singing. Their enthusiasm filled the Church with warmth and reminded us that God continues to work in the hearts of the youth.
During the visit, two of the pilgrims shared that they felt called to the priesthood. It was a touching moment for everyone. Fr Axel gave them a special blessing, asking the Lord to guide and strengthen them as they continue to discern their vocation.
We are grateful for their visit and for the inspiring witness they brought to our community.
Confirmation 2026
Bishop Nicholas visits St Boniface
On Friday 22nd May, we were delighted to welcome Bishop Nicholas last week for the celebration of Confirmation.
Ten of our young people were confirmed, surrounded by their families and our parish community.
Thank you to the catechists and to everyone involved in making this such a moving occasion. It was a lovely ceremony.
Please keep our newly confirmed in your prayers as they continue to grow in faith and in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
