This year All Saints and All Souls have been transferred to the following day. All Saints will fall on Sunday and All Souls on Monday 3rd November.
There is still time to have names entered into the Book of the Dead and to sponsor sanctuary lamps. You can book these here.
Each first Sunday of the month, you are warmly invited to our parish lunch in the parish hall. This alternates between a roast dinner and an international lunch. A donation of £5-£10 is requested. If you are interested in preparing a dish for a future lunch, please do get in touch with the parish office.
Becoming Dominic is a 2025 documentary film that follows bronze sculptor Kenny Hunter as he creates a life-size statue of St. Dominic. Set in Edinburgh, the film follows the lives of the friars, discovering along the way a parallel between the friars and the artist. The film features some familiar faces, including Fr Dermot Morrin and Fr Matthew Jarvis. The documentary will be screened in the parish hall at 7.15pm on Saturday 22 November.
From 26-29 November we will have once again the 40 Hours devotion (Quarant’Ore), a time to pray before the Blessed Sacrament most especially for the faithful departed.
You can add names to the Book of the Dead and sponsor sanctuary candles in memory of the faithful departed (names will be written on candles and placed at the High Altar during the 40 Hours) by visiting this link.

We are excited to announce that choral scholarship positions have opened up here at St Dominic’s – The Rosary Shrine.
In addition to singing regularly at the Sunday 12noon solemn Mass, and once a month at 5pm for the Latin Dominican Rite Mass, as well as during Christmas and Holy Week, choral scholars will also have opportunities to sing at other liturgical events in the course of the year.
