Any queries contact Mary Smith – 01227 362968, email: mfsmith@hotmail.co.uk. APOSTLESHIP OF THE SEA: This weekend we celebrate Sea Sunday and take up a collection for the vital work of the Apostleship of the Sea. The Church tries to establish a network of port chaplains who can attend to the spiritual and practical needs of the thousands of seafarers, many of whom are Catholics from India and the Philippines. These men work extremely hard and often in most unsatisfactory conditions; they are often away
from home for months at a time and they rely on the AoS chaplains for all sorts of needs great and small. Please be generous in supporting this collection: it is a vital part of the Church’s outreach. CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD: During the 9.30am Mass the children of the parish are invited to go through to the parish room and to listen to, and take part in, the Children’s Liturgy of the Word. The children make their sorry prayer, listen to the Gospel of the day in a child-friendly version, and then discuss their thoughts about Jesus’s teachings. The children are encouraged to say their own intercessory. And then, if time allows take part in an activity which is relevant to that Sunday’s teachings. They then return into Church at the Offertory to continue the Mass with their families. This is an important and vital part of helping our children understand, get to know and love Jesus and his teachings, on a level which they can understand. Currently we have only a very few volunteers from the parish who on a rota system, assist the children in learning about our faith. We are in desperate need of extra help! If this is something you would like to learn more about, and hopefully offer to be part of the Children’s Liturgy group, please contact the parish office on 01227 375095 or email Sue at sueourladyhb@yahoo.com You do not need to have a degree in theology or be a teacher, just bring the love of our faith and a willingness to help our children. You are welcome to come through and sit with those already part of the group to have ‘a look see’. We normally run through term time, however it is up for discussion as to whether we could continue through the holidays provided we have enough volunteers.
