Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right...

Of your charity:
Please pray for the sick in the Parish and those who care for them
And those who have died and loved ones left behind.
"It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,
that they may be loosed from their sins."
(2 Machabees 12:46)

HEAR YE, HEAR
YE! “We have become mute in the Catholic Church. We have become silent worshippers sitting in our pews as
lifeless as the wood of those pews…”

of Cleveland (1866-1945)

Church
Doors: As I think most
people are aware, the front doors 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.
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 3rd
/ 4th may.

“There are Christians whose lives seem like Lent
without Easter… I understand the grief of people who have to endure great suffering, yet slowly but
surely we all have to let the joy of faith slowly revive as a quiet yet firm
trust, even amid the greatest distress…”
~ Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium 6.

Easter
Offering Envelopes are available in the porch. Easter
offerings are your personal gift to the priest of the parish and forms of his
personal income. They can be handed in during the normal collection at any of
the Masses or the Sundays following Easter.

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with people of the parish and many of these are now very much out of date..

CAFOD Fast Day:
Due to your generosity we were able to send £237.70
to CAFOD for their vital work. Much of this was Gift Aided. Thank you.
