PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE AND FOR THE CONFOUNDING OF SUCH EVIL RUSSIAN AGGRESSION
The Church demonstrates her spiritual closeness to those directly affected by the conflict in Ukraine by consecrating Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Here is the prayer of consecration so that all of us can recite it in fraternal union.
NEXT SUNDAY IS SEA SUNDAY
Although in Kenilworth we are as far from the sea as it is possible to be in this country; at this time each year we are reminded of our dependence on the sea and sea transport, for so much (about 95%) that we enjoy in our daily lives. We are encouraged to pray for and to support the Apostleship of the Sea in its outreach to seafarers. There will be a second collection at all masses on 10 July; please be generous. Envelopes for Gift Aid donations are now available in each church.
CELEBRATION OF FATHER KEVIN'S SILVER JUBILEE OF ORDINATION
Mass will be celebrated at St Francis’ Church at 12noon on Saturday 16 July. I am told that we are now at full capacity for the lunch in the Parish Centre.
SVP FOODBANK COLLECTION
Throughout the school summer holidays, the local food banks will be under increased pressure helping to feed families. If you are able to, please support their work. The SVP will be holding a collection of non-perishable food and household items between 11.00am and 1.00pm, on Saturday, 9 July in the car park of St. Francis Church. In particular they need pasta sauce, tinned foods (including corned beef, ham, meat balls, rice pudding, custard, and vegetables), long-life juice, jam, washing-up liquid, deodorants and shower gel. (At present they do not need baked beans, pasta, soup, tea, cereals).
If you would like to contribute, but are unable to attend at the above time, please see the bulletin for details; we can collect from your doorstep.
COLLECTION FOR FATHER KEVIN’S SILVER JUBILEE
To show our appreciation for all he has done, and continues to do, for us, there will be an opportunity to contribute to a monetary gift which will be presented to Father Kevin at the reception following the 12 Noon Mass on Saturday 16 July. Donations can be made after any of the Sunday Masses over the next three weeks. If you wish to make a bank transfer, the Parish Account details are given in the bulletin. Please do not give your donations directly to Father Kevin or Father David.
Any queries please email us: Peter Whiting, Chair of the Parish Finance Committee and Gio Bucci, Chair of the Parish Pastoral Council.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR SAFE WORSHIP
We are no longer asking parishioners to wear face coverings at church. We will continue to ventilate the church and will retain some socially distanced seating for parishioners who would prefer this.

Prayers for the sick
Our Parish actively encourages praying for our parishioners, relatives and friends who are sick and in need of support. Until now this has been achieved on an informal basis by parishioners providing details to one of our Priests. With the advent of GDPR, we are obliged to make that process more formal - please click here in order to read more and to download the form that must be completed and given to one of our Priests.
