Mill Hill Appeal

We welcome Fr David Bingham from the Mill Hill Missionaries who is based in Durham who will be talking about the work of the Order and no doubt encouraging you to take one of their famous red boxes.  I am also very grateful for him willing to supply for us while I am away.



St Bede’s Feast Day

I would just like to offer a big thank you to all who contributed in making the celebration of our patron such a lovely occasion.  As I said at Mass, the two Masses for the schools went very well, and people enjoyed the Mass and barbecue in the evening.  For once the weather was on our side and there was a lovely sense of community spirit.  The hard work of the social committee in organising this event is particularly appreciated.



First Holy Communion

Our children who have been preparing for this special day since September will receive their First Holy Communion on 17th June.  Please keep them, and their families, in your prayers as they prepare for this important day in their life.



Refugees and  Asylum Seekers

There will be a collection today for tins of food and meat (not pork).  Please leave your donations in the Narthex.  Further donations on the first Sunday of the month.



Matthew Project

Donations of basic food stuffs for food parcels for local families in need is still sadly needed.  Demand is increasing but supplies at the Coffin Chapel are decreasing. So, further donations would be appreciated. Just bring them to the Church and volunteers will make sure they are taken to the Coffin Chapel.



Second Collection

There will be a second collection next weekend for the Lay Training Fund.



Christ in the World Group

The next meeting of the Christ in the World Group will be on Friday  15h June at 7.00pm. The session will be led by Fr Chris and will be on ‘The pastoral, spiritual and social issues of caring for people with Dementia and their carers’.



Liturgy Rota  The new rota commences today.  If you are involved in the liturgy please take a copy of the rota which is available in the Narthex.  If you are unable to fulfil your role please arrange a substitute and endorse master copy in  Narthex.



Children’s Liturgy  We are in need of new helpers with the children’s liturgy.  If you think you would like to help why not ask to sit in at one of the children’s liturgies to see if you would like to be involved.



Football Players Wanted!  One of our parishioners, Dominic Molloy, is looking at the possibility of whether a team from the parish could be established to be members of the North East Christian Fellowship League. The league was established to enable fellow Christians to play their  football within a Christian ethos. Each team must have at least 5 Christians. Dominic has had interest from some of his friends and family but obviously would like to see if other parishioners would like to take part. Dominic is looking for players of any ability aged 16 upwards to apply,  If interested please see poster in the narthex or contact Dominic at: dominicjosephmolloy@gmail.com  or on 07725039180  Many thanks to Dominic for this initiative.



St Bede- a glimpse of his life in readings and chant  This very interesting recital of some ofSt Bede’s  writings  and the chants he would have sung at Brinkburn Priory (Longframlington, Morpeth) on Saturday 9th June at 3.00pm. The recital is free but there will be the usual entry fee of £3.20 for adults and £2.00 for children.
