Red Boxes:
We have received a message informing us that the Diocese collected
£300,461 for the Association for the Propagation of the Faith/Mill Hill.
In a letter from
Archbishop Bernard all who shared in this tremendous effort are thanked for
their contribution. He acknowledges what a lot of hard work by organisers and
sacrifice by parishioners went into this collection.

Bishop
Elect: Fr Robert Byrne of the Oxford Oratory is
to be appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham.
We are invited to pray for him as he
prepares for his episcopal ordination at 11.00 am on May 13th at
St Chad’s Cathedral. He will be serving the deaneries of Birmingham and
Worcester.

Church
Doors: As I think most
people are aware, the doors, both front and back, of our church are in a very
poor state of repair. A reliable carpenter has been consulted and his verdict
is that it is not practical to repair them, so, sadly we shall need to spend
several thousand pounds to replace them, starting with the front doors which
are the most badly affected.
There
is no doubt in anyone’s mind that we, as a parish and indeed we as
parishioners, do not have endless funds, and so it is with great regret that
an appeal has to be launched to pay for these necessary replacement doors.
Trevor
Cooke, as Chair of the Finance Committee, has agreed to outline exactly what
is needed and will be speaking to us about this at both Masses next weekend,
3rd / 4th May.

of Remembrance: This

an entry please check with Keith that your details are correct.

Requiescat in Pace: Of you charity, please pray for the repose
of the soul of BETTY C. who died recently. May she rest in peace. Please also pray for her family and friends
who now mourn for her.
Funeral
arrangements to be announced.

Parish Records:
Some weeks ago parishioners were invited to fill in
the new Parish Record forms. Many thanks to all those who did so. But if you
did not do it at that time would you please do so now. There is a real need
for these records to be up to date so that Father is able to stay in touch
with people of the parish and many of the record cards are now very much out
of date.

Peter’s
Pence: The Diocese has received the thanks of the
Holy Father for the sum of £37,736.69 which was due to the generosity of all
who contributed to Peter’s Pence last year.
|
|
Holy
Places: Our collection
for Holy Places in Jerusalem and the Holy Land on Good Friday amounted to
£110.00.
Cardinal
Nichols has expressed his support for this worthy cause, so many thanks to
all who contributed so generously.

Thank
you! Many thanks are
due to those parishioners who worked so hard over Holy Week and Easter
weekend to make this precious time the blessing that it was. It was a special
time for all of us that would not have been possible without the willing help
so freely given. Thank you.

Diocesan
Pilgrimage to the Holy Land: There
are still some places left on this Pilgrimage Tuesday 2nd to
Thursday 11th September. The cost is £1545 per person. This price
is all-inclusive, making it excellent value.
But, of
course, the greater value is in enriching the pilgrims’ spiritual life and
making a real contribution to Christians in this area. If you are interested
full details are available from the office.
