Parish News – 21st June


Dear Parishioners,

The parish website is updated with the Mass times for this week Fr. Jose’s weekly message, the weeky newsletter for this week, and church notices. Archbishop John Wilson’s Pastoral Message on The Dignity of Every Person can be red here at https://rcaos.org.uk/media/kjeli2yv/there-is-no-place-for-racism-a-pastoral-message-on-the-dignity-of-every-person.pdf

Today is the Day For Life. It is the day in the Church’s life dedicated to celebrating the sacredness of life. The theme this year is ‘The Wonder of the Child in the Womb’. The proceeds from today’s Day for Life collection provide core funding to assist other life-related activities supported by the Church.

Also, the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) will be holding their Join the Fightback Day. Show your support by joining SPUC’s campaign to defend unborn babies and their mothers. If enough people stand up for the pro-life cause, politicians will have to take heed of concern

This Tuesday is the National Day of Prayer and Fasting for Life. Please pray and fast for the end of abortion and euthanasia in this country. Your prayer and fasting is urgently needed.

Lastly, we are looking to make a reader’s rota for weekday Masses so that this ministry does not fall on the shoulders of just a few parishioners. Give your name to Fr. Jose if you would like to offer to read during the week.

Have a great week.
