The first of seven signs Jesus performs in John’s Gospel is the changing of water into wine at the Wedding of Cana, which was done in superabundance!
The six stone jars, filled to the brim with water, were transformed into as much as 180 gallons of the finest wine.
The changing of water into wine was done at the request of Jesus’ mother, who told the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to do.
There is certainly much to ponder in this incredible miracle.
One specific thing to consider, as we begin reading the first of these signs, is that Jesus uses His miracles to prepare His disciples for the “hour” of grace and glory that is to come.
And though the hour of Jesus has already taken place in time, it’s important to understand that each one of us needs to go through the process of preparing for that hour in our own lives.
My glorious Lord, Your entire earthly life was a preparation for the hour in which You gave Your life as a sacrifice on the Cross for the remission of sins.
Please continuously prepare me to receive You more fully and to open my heart to You and all that You have bestowed upon me through Your perfect sacrifice of love.
Jesus, I trust in You.

Firstly a hearty welcome to all who have moved into our parishes in recent times!
Many thanks for visiting our Parish website.
This site has been designed with three aims:
Firstly to aid the work of our priests in our parishes in preaching the word of Jesus and their teaching of His message to us.
Secondly to aid parents, children and adults as our children and young adults prepare for the Sacraments
and also for adults who are preparing for that go to make up our community.
Thirdly to reflect the wider community among whom we live and the various activities and organisations that go to make up our community.
We acknowledge and respect the diversity of faiths and origins in our multi-faith and multi-ethnic community.
We invite your views and contributions on church and parish life.
Also as this site was built with limited resources there may be aspects that could be improved – do let us know.
