PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE AND FOR THE CONFOUNDING OF SUCH EVIL RUSSIAN AGGRESSION
THIS SUNDAY
We begin the New Year of God’s grace in the life and liturgy of the Church with the beginning of Advent. The season of Advent reminds us of our need to prepare spiritually for Christmas as we recall Christ’s first coming at Bethlehem. We are also directed in mind and heart to await Christ when he calls us home to him, or when he comes again to us in glory. The Advent Crown reminds us of our preparation to welcome Christ the Light of the world - Happy New Year, everyone.
‘Walk with Me’ books etc are still available in each church.
The Sunday readings will be from Year C, the year of St Luke.
The weekday cycle in Ordinary Time will be for year one
We shall be hearing readings from the new Lectionary from this Sunday.
ADVENT LUNCH
If you have bought a ticket for the Advent Lunch today, please remember to attend. It promises, as always, to be enjoyable parish social event.
'WALK WITH ME' BOOKLETS
I know many of you love having the “Walk with Me” booklets and calendars for Advent. These are now available in both churches. Please help yourselves to as many as you wish to have. I know some of you send them on to family and friends. There is no charge for these booklets – we will have a collection later.

This weekend the SVP will be making their annual church door collection to support the destitute babies and children in South Sudan. You also have the opportunity of receiving a gift certificate for someone – please see our leaflet. Further details are in the bulletin.

WALKING TOGETHER - UNFOLDING GOD‘S PLAN in our Parish
Following Archbishop Bernard’s Pastoral Letter, Fr Kevin invites us all to reflect on how we can continue to work together build a vibrant community of faith, joyful in our service of God and neighbour. All are welcome to share in this important process.
Over the past year we have met to discuss and put into place plans to bring to life the Diocesan Vision Statement and how we continue to move forward as a parish - deepening our faith (formation and spiritual growth), sharing our faith (evangelisation), celebrating our faith (worship and liturgy) and witnessing our faith (social action) - click here for a summary.

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.
