The Most Holy Trinity
Today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Trinity. One way to see this feast is to acknowledge God as a communion of love which overflows to all of creation and humanity. We are called to share in and reflect this divine communion.
First Holy Communion
This weekend at the 10.00 am Mass we celebrate First Holy Communions for some of our boys and girls who are at St Bede’s School. I would like to extend a warm welcome to the children, their families and friends. I hope it is a special day for your all and I pray that this day will deepen the children’s love for Christ and the Eucharist. I would like to express my thanks to Mrs Worrall, St Bede’s School and especially to Mary Yarrow who has been the parish catechist for the programme.
Retiring Collections
There will be a retiring collection today for World Youth Day.
Parish Barbecue
The social committee are organising a parish barbecue for Saturday 5th July from 7.30 pm. Tickets are available from members of the social committee. Tickets are £5 for adults and £3 for children. I would encourage as many of you as possible to take part . I appreciate that we are dependent on British weather but previous parish barbecues have been seen to be as an enjoyable success.
Reflective Prayer at St Bede’s School
St Bede’s would like to offer a warm welcome to any parishioners who may want to join the school in their weekly reflective prayer on a Monday morning at 9.00 am in the school hall. This time allows all participants the opportunity to begin the week with a spiritually uplifting reflection on the weekly readings. The whole school community use it as their spiritual focus for the week.
Pentecost Service
I would like to thank all those who contributed in either preparing or taking part or supporting by simply be being present at the service on Sunday. All the feed back I have received has been very positive with people being impressed by the creativity, enthusiasm and commitment of our young people. My special thanks to them for their efforts. It is much appreciated by the parish and by the many members of Churches Together who came to the service on Sunday.
St Bede’s Primary School
Pupils from St Bede’s, Nursery, and Years 3 and 5 will join us for Mass on Tuesday at 10.00 am.
