SACRAMENT OF PENANCE   Saturday at 5:30 pm before the Vigil Mass.


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)



News








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.



Book of Remembrance:   This will be taken to the calligrapher’s this coming week; if you have requested 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.
