THANKS
Ø A message from Deacon Michael: “I would like to thank all those who worked in a most wonderful and co-operative way resulting in a most beautiful liturgy and wonderful reception in the school hall. It will be a day I will never forget. I also thank you for the many cards and gifts received, and you all for your prayers and support. Can the person who gave a most wonderful purple stole please identify themselves, as the identity of the giver appears to have become separated from the gift.”
Ø The Willesden Green Pioneer Association would like to thank all who supported their annual Social on Friday 8 May 2009 at Dollis Hill social club. Our Special Needs Group was presented with a cheque for £1,000 at our annual Mass on the feast of the Sacred Heart.
Ø The Special Needs Group - send their thanks and appreciation to the Pioneers and all their supporters for their generous donation of £1,000.

Novena to St Lawrence Almighty God who called your Deacon Lawrence to serve You with deeds of love, and gave him the crown of Martyrdom grant that Michael, following his example, may fulfil Your commandments by defending and supporting the poor, and by loving You with all his heart, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, Amen.

O glorious St Lawrence, blessed Deacon of the Church, filled with compassion for those who invoke you, with love for those who suffer, I kneel at your feet and humbly beg you to take under your special protection Michael who is to be ordained deacon. Vouchsafe to recommend Michael to our Lord who gave you the grace to withstand great torture before being burned to death in His name. Cease not to intercede for him that he may be true to his calling to the diaconate. Above all obtain for Michael the Grace to one day meet God face to face, and with You and Mary and all the angels and saints praise him through all eternity Amen Pray one our father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be..
