The week ahead at St Stephen's.
Note we have an additional celebration of Mass this coming Saturday morning, under the auspices of the Lumen Community, to which all are welcome.
During our Requiem Mass for Remembrance Sunday we recalled by name those from what was then the St Stephen’s parish who were killed in the two world wars and a wreath was placed at the Calvary altar.
On Sunday we will be marking Remembrance Sunday with a Requiem Mass and act of remembrance. NB those coming to St Stephen's by car should be aware of road closures affecting Braidley Road in connection with the civic gathering at the town war memorial.
Our church has today been removed from @HistoricEngland’s heritage at risk register after the work carried out in 2024/2025 l. Here’s a pic of scaffolding in the nave in February 2025.

A beautiful and moving Requiem Mass for All Souls Day, sung to the plainsong 'Missa pro defunctis' and with the welcome company of friends old and new from the Guild of Servants of the Sanctuary Bournemouth Chapter

On Dedication Sunday today we looked back 145 years and ahead to our 150th anniversary with thanks and hope.
On Sunday, it will be 145 years to the day since the foundation stone of our church was laid. This Sunday at Solemn Mass, we will celebrate our Dedication Festival. Our worship will be enriched by the singing of the New Eden Consort, joining us for the second time this year.
After the excitement of the Michaelmas Festival, we have a more normal week ahead, albeit with our Dedication Festival to look forward to next Sunday
A great joy for the whole Bournemouth Town Centre Parish to gather in St Stephen’s for the institution, collation and induction of Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle as rector in the context of Michaelmas Choral Evensong.
