THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY this coming Friday is one of the
joys of our Catholic way of life ... where we live it is in the summer (and is
often a lovely day) and it is a Holyday of Obligation. May we look at Mary crowned as Queen in
heaven because at the end of her life on earth she was taken, body and soul, to
heaven. We delight for her and rejoice
at the thought that we hope to join her with Jesus when our time comes. I find it inspiring to think of the great
pilgrimage centres like
YOUTH MINISTRY IS
FLOURISHING IN OUR PARISH and I know that apart from
our present catechists, there are many other
parishioners who are very interested in the welfare and faith development of our young people. Some have indicated that they would be willing to help out occasionally maybe just two or
three times a year and others are now thinking of helping at one of the groups
on a weekly/monthly basis during term time. There will be an open meeting in Walsingham Hall on Sunday, 7th September, after
the 10.00 a.m. Mass. You are all invited to come along and hear how the
system works and to see if your heart is stirred to help all our lovely young
people.
