THE CHURCH’S LITURGICAL YEAR   ends this week-end. We look back at what God has done for us in our parish over the past year. That is at the heart of Catholic spirituality….God is always at work in us and we need to observe what He has done for us. Our daily prayer and our coming to Mass are opportunities for us to interact with God. We can ask the Holy Spirit to give us the gifts of wisdom and understanding so that we can observe intelligently how God is at work in us. Christ the King is an opportunity to ask ourselves if we worship our King and not some Imitation… of which there are plenty !

 

OUR LITTLE VOICE  the book that so many of you contributed to and that Livvy put together, has been printed and will go on sale next weekend at the Christmas Fest. It is just wonderful! Each book will cost £3.00 and any profit will go to The Little Way Foundation.

 

RAFFLE TICKETS   could you please return raffle ticket stubs and payment this week, the draw will take place at the Christmas Fest next Saturday. Please hand both back to Brian and Val Stoker or put them in to an envelope and post through the Presbytery door by Thursday, thank you.

 

NEXT SATURDAY  will be our Christmas Fest. Thank you for all your  donations, we are always quite amazed by your generosity. All we need now are cakes, mince pies or biscuits, please, please bake for us, we will be in the Hall on Friday evening from 6.00 to 9.00pm or you could bring them on the morning of the Fest (Saturday) between 10.00 and 11.00am. And of course we also need you to come on the day and enjoy it, it’s a lovely family day and once everything is in place and our job is done it will be down to you to make it the success it always is. Thank you. (Any extra help on the Friday evening or Saturday would be much appreciated, just come along)

 

THE BARN DANCE  was amazing, so a big thank you to everyone who supported it in some way, an incredible £914.00 was raised for this years Project. Thank you to the CAFOD Project team for organising and running the event and thank you St Teresa’s parishioners for your generosity.

A PRAYER FOR MEGAN  We have been asked to keep a little girl called Megan Sutton in our prayers. Megan is from Devon and has myeloid leukaemia, ‘Kidds Integrated Cancer Treatment Charity’ have written to ask if we could include Megan on our prayer list.
