MARGARET CRIPPS, OUR PASTORAL AREA REPRESENTATIVE WRITES   The Mid Bucks Pastoral Area group has now completed the first phase of work in the ‘Walking Humbly’ process and we have submitted our Groundplan to Bishop Peter outlining our proposed steps toward a more ‘Thriving Catholic Community’ both within our parish and within our broader Mid Bucks pastoral area. The Bishop proposes to use the month of June to review our and other pastoral area groundplans and will feed back his responses starting in July and continuing through September. It is expected that part of his response will be the selection of our new parish priest.

Proposals in the groundplan include a closer link in working together with the other parishes in our pastoral area and a sharing of our expertise in some ministries. Evangelisation was highlighted as a key long term facet in becoming a Thriving Catholic Community. As a parish and as part of the pastoral area we hope to reach out to non-church going Catholics and other Christians and to build better communications with other faiths.

Please keep the Walking Humbly process in your prayers over the coming months.

 

PAPAL VISIT COLLECTION  Although the State is making a considerable contribution towards the cost of the Papal Visit, as dioceses we are responsible for covering just less than half of the expense of the visit. To help us to do that, the retiring collections in all the parishes of England Scotland and Wales next weekend will be for the Papal Visit, please be as generous as you can, thank you. Gift Aid envelopes are available in the Narthex.

 

CAFOD LUNCH CANCELLED  Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond the Committee’s control, the CAFOD Project lunch which was to be held this Sunday has had to be cancelled. Please see Polly Sklenar at the Presbytery if you would like a refund on your ticket.
