PAX CHRISTI
There will be a second collection for this Catholic Charity this Sunday, which is kept as Peace Sunday.
OCTAVE OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
We began the octave of prayer for the unity of all Christian people on Saturday, 18 January.
All parishioners are invited to a United Service at St Nicholas’ Church, on Sunday, 19 January 2025 at 6.30pm.
The prayer of Jesus: - “Father that they may be one, as we are one” must be in our hearts and minds as we pray for all our baptised sisters and brothers in Christ.
SVP COMMUNITY WARM HUB
The SVP Warm Hub continues to meet every Tuesday morning (10am to 12 noon) in the Parish Centre. Everyone is welcome to come along to enjoy the warm, friendly atmosphere and free refreshments.
CATHOLIC WOMEN’S LEAGUE COFFEE MORNING
CWL members invite all members, parishioners and friends to a Charity Coffee Morning in the Parish Centre in aid of FHL and PACT (Prison Advice and Care Trust) on Saturday 25 January from 10am onwards. Entrance is £3.00 by ticket or on the door. Tickets will be available after Sunday Masses.
NEXT SUNDAY WILL BE THE SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD
Pope Francis instituted 'The Sunday of the Word of God' to be held every year on the third Sunday of Ordinary Time, with the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu proprio ‘Aperuit illis’ issued on 30 September, 2019. We will keep it on this Sunday.
NEXT SUNDAY: COLLECTION FOR THE CENTENARY OF LEPRA
On various occasions in the gospels Jesus shows compassion to people afflicted by leprosy. In parts of the world it is still a scourge and the charity, Lepra, is in its centenary year continuing that compassionate work. We are invited to join in prayerful solidarity with the charity and to support its work financially through a second collection over Sunday 25 / 26 January. Please be as generous as you are able.

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.

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.
