Dear friends and parishioners

It is not only the number of organists in our parishes that has been depleted recently. We need new volunteers in many aspects of parish life.

Please remember that through our Baptism, we all together are responsible for the life and ministry of the Church. So, what gifts has God given you that can be used for his glory and the good of his vineyard – it is your responsibility not just to receive in the Church, but to give… not just money but the gifts, interests and enthusiasm God has given you.

~ Fr Matthew

Fr Matthew Zooms on St Paul

The diocese is running monthly Zoom Scripture Study Days under the heading “The God Who Speaks”.

The next one will be given on Saturday 11 September,  11am – 12.30pm by Father Matthew. It is titled “A Brief Look at St Paul’s Life and Teaching”.

You can access the talks on the day through Zoom or via Zoom ID 863 9669 5727  Passcode 068790.

The talks also appear on YouTube. Go to the ACES YouTube channel. Details of the programme of talks for the year can be found on the Archdiocesan website.

For more information contact Madeleine (madeleine.walters@rcadc.org) or Kate (kate.duffin@hotmail.co.uk).

Please also note that this weekend,  we will announce at mass the next stage of lifting restrictions for mass, agreed by the 3 churches on Tuesday. Please listen carefully for the announcement at mass which will take effect from next weekend. Our guiding principle is to ease distancing while respecting and facilitating those who wish to continue to do so.
