A Big Thank You

A big thank you to everyone who helped us prepare for Christmas in any way – cleaning, decorating the church, preparing the Crib, serving, ushering, reading, singers and musicians, Eucharistic Ministers, bankers, the counting teams. Special thanks to our First Holy Communion children for making the lovely Christmas prayer decorations.

Thank you also for the cards and gifts as well as your generous Christmas Offerings which, with Mass and other Stipends and the annual Easter Offerings, go towards paying the priest each month.

Pastoral Letter

Copies of the Pastoral Letter for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, 1st January 2017 are available at the back of the church on the newsletter stand.

Crib Appeal

The Crib will be available to visit until Monday 9th January, the Baptism of the Lord, and you are asked please to continue to give generously to the Catholic Children’s Society.

The Society reaches out to families who are homeless or where there is poverty, debt, unemployment, long-term illness or family breakdown.

Unwanted Gifts

Our Confirmation candidates will be running an unwanted gifts sale and serving teas/coffees/cakes on Sunday, 8th January after the morning Masses, to raise funds for their chosen charity SEEDs.

We will contact you shortly after with the name of the child to remember in your diary prayers and when you attend Mass. Thank you.

Scripture reflection – Saints Peter and Paul – 28th June

These two saints, considered the foremost of the apostles, have a joint celebration, which may acknowledge their deaths during the same period of persecution in Rome. In an early division of ministry, Paul was especially chosen to preach to the Gentiles (see Acts 22:21). Peter began as head of the community in Jerusalem but after the events told in our first reading, went ‘to another place’, and later to Rome, which has since then been the See of Peter’s successors. The book of Acts begins with a focus on Peter; then from chapter 13, Paul takes centre stage. Continue reading Scripture reflection – Saints Peter and Paul – 28th June

A prayer for our earth

This is one of the two prayers with which Pope Francis concludes his encyclical, ‘Laudato Si’ (‘Be praised’), which was published this week

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.

Fill us with peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,
so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle
for justice, love and peace.

Scripture reflection – 12th Sunday of the year – Year B – 21st June

Pope Francis is issuing an encyclical on environmental concerns, especially global warming. While rightly emphasizing that what humans as a ‘race’ do to the planet, there is still a sense in which an individual cannot control the weather – cannot tell the ‘winds and the waves’ what to do. So in the 2000 years since our readings, one whom ‘the winds and sea’ obey would still raise the question posed in our gospel.

Scripture reflection – The most Holy Body and Blood of Christ – Year B – 7th June

corpusThe theologian Karl Rahner commented that it may seem strange to make a special feast out of something that happens everyday on altars around the world. There is a good reason for this, however, for often it is the very everyday ‘ordinary’ that we tend to take for granted or overlook. So it is good to have one time when we focus on how extraordinary it was for Christ to leave us his presence in bread and wine.
