Wednesday 13th June St. Anthony of Padua FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: Our main celebration took place last Saturday and was much enjoyed by all but there will be another celebration this Sunday at the 9.30 Mass when three of the children who were unable to be with us last Saturday will be making their own First Communion. We hope that many of the other first communicants will be joining them. The parish owes a great debt of thanks to Cloe Maple and sue Coppens for all their hard work and dedication in working with the children and their families over the last seven months. Our thanks to the children and their parents who joined the small band of us in a Procession in honour of the Blessed Sacrament last Sunday afternoon. PARISH BIBLE WEEKEND: 22-24 JUNE: We are on our way! The preparations for our weekend , led by the Catholic Bible School, are proceeding well. The Parish Pastoral Council and a wide group of volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes. We do hope that there will be a great response to this weekend and we look forward to receiving your return leaflets, “RSVP” indicating which parts of the weekend you plan to attend. Please drop your response leaflet into the red box at the back of church. PLEASE KEEP IN YOUR PRAYERS Mike Hedger’s cousin Bro Denis Gervase, the Redemptorist Brother who set up a Village for street children in Thailand and who died on Friday, Feast of the Sacred Heart. The parish has often supported the village through fundraising quiznights. And please remember also Audrey Birtle who also died on Friday. Audrey was one of our oldest parishioners and a long-standing member of the choir. PARISH REVIEW: We held the review on Sunday 20 May and it was good to know that several of the groups who talked about their work were able to enlist more volunteers. One possible project that was mentioned was a request to raise money to help build a primary school in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where we have been supporting Sr Astrid, a Passionist Sister, by helping to build a Secondary School. Moyra Feathers who has spearheaded the support for Sr Astrid asked if anyone would join her to help raise the funds for the Primary School. So we mention this here to see what help might be offered.
