Worship
Worship in the Parish of Poplar is centred on the Mass and on daily prayer.
The Mass, or Holy Communion, was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, inviting us to remember his Passion through the sharing of bread and wine.
In praying Morning or Evening Prayer, we join with churches across the country, encountering God through a shared diet of scripture and Psalm.
Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome to join us.

Morning Prayer
Parish Mass
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
The Parish Mass at All Saints and Saint Nick’s is the focal point of the week’s worship, including a sermon, prayers, hymns and incense.
Daily Mass
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.
Daily Masses at All Saints and Saint Nick’s last around 25 minutes. These are simpler, said services, with no music.
All-Age Mass
Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.
The All-Age Mass at Saint Nick’s is particularly welcoming to primary aged children, featuring songs, a children’s address and a relaxed atmosphere.
Morning Prayer
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.
Morning Prayer lasts 15-20 minutes: a calm and holy start to the day, including Psalms, readings and prayers.
