Thirteenth Sunday of the Year 1st July 2012
PARISH UPDATE
Peter’s Pence Collection at all Masses this weekend.
Readers and Eucharistic Ministers. Please collect new rotas from the sacristy this week as changes have had to be made to the rotas issued last weekend.
Padre Pio Prayer Group will meet in the Annexe on Thursday 5th July at 8.00pm for Mass, rosary and prayers for the sick. All are welcome.
Terrible Twos. You might not know this but if your little bundle of joy is driving you mad during Mass, the Annexe is open if you’d like a little respite. There is a speaker in there so you can hear Mass but you won’t be able to see the priest…thank Heaven for small mercies.
Seekers/ Enquires. Do you know of anyone interested in becoming a Catholic? Are you, or do you know, an adult who was baptised, but was never confirmed? Do you know of anyone who has stopped practicing their faith, but who may be persuaded to return? Are you a regular practicing Catholic who just wishes to understand their faith a bit better? If the answer is ‘Yes’ to any question, we are holding a series of ‘seekers’ meetings where any questions you may have can be asked and answered. All are welcome. The meetings will be in the Annexe at 7:30 pm on the following Tuesday 10th July. Just turn up.
St Mary Magdalen Junior School. Summer Fair this Sunday 1st July from 1pm to 3pm. Everyone is welcome. Please come and support your local parish school.
Convent of Jesus and Mary RC Infant School. Summer Fete next Saturday 7th July 2012 from 12 noon - 3pm.
