Parish News – 26th April
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.
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday where we pray for vocations and support the Priest Training Fund, which forms men for service across our parishes, schools, hospitals, and communities.
Next Sunday we will have our annual ceremony of the crowning of the statue of Our Lady with procession round the grounds of the church.
The month of May is especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady and so there will be daily Recitation of the Rosary, each evening. Also, Archbishop John Wilson is calling on all of us to join him in praying the Rosary for Life.
The big event in May is our International Mass.It is an opportunity for all of us to come together to celebrate and thank God for the Catholic faith shared among the many nationalities that make up our parish family.
Have a great week!
A Message From Fr. Jose – 26th April
Fr. Jose – Parish Priest
Dear family members and friends, The very famous image of Jesus as Good Shepherd is of great hope and confidence for us. Jesus speaks about the difference between a shepherd and a thief. The shepherd enters through the door and the sheep hear his voice and follow him. The thief is the one who enters the sheepfold through some other way. The thief enters to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus as the good shepherd has come to give life and that in abundance. There are some people who come to us pretending to help us and guide us. But they are like wolves in sheep’s skin. Let us try to identify the true shepherds and false ones and follow only the true one who lays his life for the sheep as Jesus did. Amen
Rosary For Life
Archbishop John Wilson is calling on all of us to join him in praying the Rosary for Life this May (Month of Mary). Together, we will pray through the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous Mysteries, each one offered for the most vulnerable facing growing threats to life: unborn children at risk of abortion, victims of war and persecution, people with disabilities, and the elderly and vulnerable. For video, audio and written versions of the Rosary for Life, visit rcaos.org.uk/rosaryforlife. Pray the Rosary. Encounter Christ. Defend life.
