FATHER MISHECK from the Diocese of Ndola in
WONDERFUL NEWS! Cardinal John Henry Newman is soon to be beatified ….. the final stage before
being declared a Saint. Well done
all those who have prayed to John Henry Newman and prayed that he would be
canonised, Quintessentially
English, educated at
I SHALL BE AWAY FOR A SHORT BREAK this coming week. Let’s hope that the weather bucks up! Most priests tend to take their three Sundays
in the year off in one go – i.e. be
away for four weeks. That’s not so easy to do these days as I am dependent on
others to drive me – and of course arrange for supply priests to cover at
weekends. So off I go for a few days this week and the following week I shall
be going again, with parishioners to Lisieux, for a
few days with our patron saint.
PLANNED GIVING if you are not in our planned giving scheme please have a word with me or one
of the deacons. It is a simple matter
to let you have envelopes or a standing order form….which ensures that the
parish is supported even if you are away on holiday.
THE C.A.F.O.D. PROJECT
GROUP (just in case you were away last week) Will be hosting a
Garden Party in the Presbytery garden
on Saturday, 30th August at 4.00pm.
Tickets will be on sale this weekend and over the next two weeks after each of
the weekend Masses or you can reserve tickets by calling Paula on 01844 273134.
Tickets – Adults (12 & older) £5, Children £2.50.
All proceeds will be going towards the Rehabilitation of Child Soldiers Project
MONEY MONEY Offertory £629.87, Retiring Collection £28.57,
Cafod £2.00. God bless your support for your Church.
Love and prayers,
