PLANS SOMETIMES GO AWRY  I wasn’t able to travel to Cardiff last week as planned – I wasn’t up to making the journey. I am having a bad patch health wise at present but I shall continue as long as the dear Lord gives me strength to say Mass for and with St. Teresa’s community. I am greatly helped by parishioners in the church and in the presbytery. Thank you I am very grateful.

 

LIGHTHOUSE NOW DESPERATE  Lighthouse Risborough are desperately looking for security help on 24th , 25th, 26th and 27th July. We need people to cover the 18.00 – 22.30 and 22.30 – 07.30 shifts. We also need more manpower to help collect tables, chairs and staging from various venues on either the weekend of 18th – 19th or the 25th – 26th (transport provided)

Please…if you can help contact Ingrid Gardner on o1844 347996. Thank you.

Light house Commissioning Service in the Big Top in the field at the top of New Road (just opposite Kop Hill junction) Everyone welcome to our opening service and blessing, 6pm on the 19th July.

 

ST TERESA’S BABIES AND TODDLER GROUP  Our grateful thanks go to Mary Thalakuttyr, Ruth Daraed and Madeline Lock for continuing to run this very special and important group for the past two years. The group’s aim is for mums/carers and little ones between the ages of 0 and 5 to meet every Tuesday morning in the club room. Madeline and her family recently moved to Dubai and Ruth and Mary’s little ones are now ready to move on to ‘big school’ so from September the group will be run by two other members. We thank Mary, Ruth and Madeline for having taken the time out of their busy week to provide a space for Christian development. The little ones learn quickly that we are a living community and it is always a delight to see them recognising their play mates when they come to Mass. The dates for the start of the new term will be well publicised toward the end of the school holidays.

 

St T’s FC  Due to unforeseen circumstances our get together on Sunday 26th July is to be cancelled. The next meeting on Sunday 30th August is for the future Year 6’s only, as it is to be a planning meeting for the coming year and, as before, it is the year 6’s who have a large say in planning the activities for the year. Very well done to the St’ T’s FC for the brilliant fund raising event which was held last month. About 40 parishioners came to watch the group present their thoughts and actions on what the gifts of Pentecost meant to them. They were superb in every way and raised the amazing total of £182.77 which will be shared between The Iain Rennie Hospice at Home and St Teresa’s Cafod project of helping to reintegrate child soldiers in the Congo. Thank you to all who supported them.

 

LUMOS  Please pray for the 14 young people from our parish who are away this weekend on the Lumos retreat which is run by NYMO for all young parishioners in the Diocese between the ages of 11 – 18. Due to popularity of this amazingly uplifting and inspiring event, 120 young people and 20 catechists, including NYMO team members, are meeting at the frontier Adventure Activity Centre in Irthingborough (near Northampton), which is large enough to hold the increased number, (100 attended the January retreat). May God continue to bless their young lives and fill them with gifts of the Holy Spirit as they return to our parish to live out their lives as true disciples of Jesus.

 

LOST PROPERTY  If you left a pair of grey jeans at last Sundays parish day you will find them in the lost property box in the church.

 

MONEY, MONEY.  Offertory £703.43, Retiring Collection £143.95 for Sea Sunday, thank you.  CAFOD £2.00. God Bless your support and generosity for your Church.

 

                        Love and prayers,
