Youth Sunday - Christ the King
Today is the feast of Christ the King which is Youth Sunday I hope to have some of our young people participating in the Masses and sharing with us the youth mission that will be taking place in the school in December.
The annual retiring collection for Catholic Youth will be taken today. Envelopes are provided for your donations in the Narthex.
Remembrance Book
The Remembrance Book will still be available at the offertory table at the back of church for people to add any names of loved ones who have died. The Remembrance Book will be brought to the altar at the offertory.
Journey of Faith Programme
The Journey of Faith Programme continues on Wednesday at 6.30 pm in the Presbytery. Next week we will continue to look at Jesus’ ministry focusing on His activities. We now have three enquirers. Please continue to pray for them.
St Bede’s School
Next Friday as preparation for the start of Advent the whole school will be joining us for Mass at 10.00 am. Please continue to pray for the school, in particular, Mr Groark who is starting his work in the school.
Ecumenical Advent Carol Service
This year the event will be hosted by the Salvation Army. It will take place on Sunday 30th November at 4.00 pm. We hosted this event last year, and the Pentecost event, and there was a great deal of support from other churches. I think it is very important that as a community we reciprocate the support that has been given to us. I would encourage as many people as possible to come to this service.
Youth Mission
My thanks to the young people who led us in the youth mission prayer at the weekend and their willingness to do this until the mission starts in December. The final preparation meeting with the deanery will be next Thursday at 7.00 pm at St Aidans First School. During the mission the parish will take responsibility for “hosting” Masses in the school. These will be on Wednesday 10th December and Wednesday 17th December both at 12.30 pm in the new school chapel which is based in the school’s business centre. These Masses will be the parish Masses of the day so there will be no Mass at 10.00 am.
Mass for Anointing for the Sick and Housebound
The annual Mass for the sick and housebound will be on Wednesday 3rd December at 1.00pm
Parish Fayre
As I prepare the bulletin I am not in a position to comment but I am aware of those who have prepared and volunteered to help in the day and I would like to thank all those who have contributed in preparation for the event.
Parish Ceilidh
This year the parish Ceilidh will be next Saturday at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5. Let’s make it a big and happy occasion :-) There will be a shared table for this event. Any profits will go towards Papal World Youth Fund.
Day of Reflection for Forward Together in Hope
As mentioned by Bishop Seamus in his pastoral letter last week, he is keen to ensure that the ‘Forward Together in Hope ‘ process is rooted in prayer. On 2nd December at 10.30am to 12 noon and 6.30 pm to 8.00 pm, both Laity and Clergy have opportunities to listen to a 30 minute presentation by Bishop Seamus followed by an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I would encourage people to attend either of these events if they can.
Clergy Training Fund
The Clergy Training Fund will close today. Please donate for this important work if you have not already done so.
CAFOD Emergency Ebola appeal
This will remain open for the rest of the month. Baskets will be in the Narthex for your donations. My thanks to those who have already contributed. Please keep CAFOD in your prayers at this time . As you may have seen from the Catholic media they are proposing to make a number of redundancies, including the diocesan representatives along with the closure of the diocesan offices.
Advent Service of Reconciliation
The following dates have been arranged;
St Wilfrid’s - Tuesday 16th December at 7.00 pm
St Bede’s - Sunday 21st December at 4.00 pm
