All welcome

newsletter

In this last month of the parish phase of the worldwide Synod, we offer great opportunities for anyone to contribute who hasn’t yet done so.

This weekend at Christ the King (in the Parish Centre, after Mass on Saturday evening and after Sunday 9am Mass), and on Monday 21 February in St Brigid’s Hall there will be open meetings.

In St Brigid’s at 2.30pm to 3.30pm and 7 to 8pm members of the 3 Churches Synod Team will be available to listen to your thoughts and ideas.

Alternatively, there are Post-it walls and/or boxes in all three churches for your ideas for the future of Our Church. All contributions are valued!

Remembering our sick

newsletter

Friday is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, World Day for the Sick. Sickness in all its forms has been so much in the news, in our lives, in our hearts over the last years.

The sick are not “out there”, somehow not quite inside the life of the Church. They are a vital part, showing us what Mother Teresa referred to as the distressing face of Jesus – one of His faces, but a vital one if we are to understand why he came.

So please remember those around us who are sick in mind, body or spirit. Let’s pray for them, and reach out to them in whatever way you can. We are reaching out to the Lord.

Fr Matthew
