PRAYERS  please continue to pray for all involved in the recent tragedies in Cumbria; prayers for those who died, those injured or maimed, those bereaved of loved ones in terribly mystifying and irrational circumstances, those numbed and scared at the tragedies that took place in their quiet country towns and villages. They need our prayers for a long time to come.

 

PRAYERS  for Sonia Mary Holdsworth who died on Wednesday 9th June and who’s Requiem Mass will be at 2.00pm this Monday at St Teresa’s, followed by cremation at Milton Chapel, Chilterns Crematorium, may she rest in peace, and prayers for the family left to mourn, especially Alison and Dennis Houston and grandsons Tim and Peter who are all parishioners here at St Teresa’s.

 

THE PUBLIC PRAYERS   we have been saying for Vocations during Masses for the past year will now cease. But we are encouraged to say them privately. At the close of the ‘Year of the Priest’ Pope Benedict stressed that “the priest must dedicate himself totally, often going against the current and remembering that he who is big must act like the smallest, and he who governs must act like a servant” What a beautiful statement based on the teaching and example of Jesus himself.

 

A HUGE THANK YOU   to Rex Kidd and John Urch who are stepping down at the end of June from many years of photocopying, folding and inserting various flyers into the parish weekly Newsletter. Thank you Rex and John for your incredible commitment week after week and year after year. 

 

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE   who would consider taking over from Rex and John ? It takes 30 to 40 minutes each Thursday afternoon here at the Presbytery, it would be ideal if there were two people who would like to do it together  either as a job share (alternative weeks) or coming in together to share the task. A warm welcome and a cup of coffee always on offer. Phone Father Tom or Polly on the Presbytery phone number.

A DEAR PARISHIONER OF OURS  Monica White celebrated a special birthday recently and was very touched by all the prayers, the Mass Intention, good wishes and gifts that her friends in the parish showered upon her. Congratulations Monica.

 

BERNARD CRAWLEY  has not been too well since he left Princes Risborough and his parish family here at St Teresa’s, but his spirit has been lifted by the Mass intention the SVP group arranged for him, we all pray that his health improves very soon.
