OUR PARISH BIBLE WEEKEND: is happening next weekend!! You will all have received an invitation: please place your responses in the red box at the back of church. Please sign up for a slot of time before the Blessed Sacrament. Please come along to as many of the sessions as you can….and bring a friend!! It promises to be both an inspiring and a highly enjoyable time. Do come and take part!!!

DAY FOR LIFE: Each year this Day takes a different theme but it will always point to the sanctity of human life in all its many and varied aspects. The current Day for Life takes up the theme of human trafficking which is so much more widespread than most of us think. Care for those affected by trafficking has been taken up in a very generous way by a number of Congregations of Sisters and it was interesting to note that Sr Imelda Poole, a Loreto Sister , was awarded the MBE for her pioneering work in this field in this year’s Birthday Honours list.

The struggle to combat human trafficking has united the Catholic and Anglican Churches in a very big programme under the title of the Santa Marta Group: Pope Francis and Archbishop Welby are very keen promoters. To find out more, visit: www.santamartagroup.com Please support today’s appeal generously.

REFUGEE WEEK: Today marks the beginning of this special week of concern, support and celebration for refugees. The crisis is on a monumental scale and the sufferings of individuals and families can scarcely be imagined. It is one of those horrors in modern life before which we mostly feel helpless. But there are things that can be done at a local level and there will be a gathering at St Alphege’s Church, Whitstable, next Sunday afternoon (24th) to show how people can be involved. Please see poster in church porch. www.refugeeweek.org.uk will give further details.

MYLES DEMPSEY R.I.P. This is a name which will not be too familiar to many, but Myles is known nationally and internationally as a great promoter of renewal in the Catholic Church. He established the lay community of

the Prince of Peace in Beckenham about 40 years ago and with their help set up the New Dawn in the Church Conference which has run annually in Walsingham for the last 30 years. A number of our young people have taken part and Fr Mark is a regular visitor. Myles was known for great gifts of spiritual discernment and hundreds, if not thousands, can testify to the gift of healing he has ministered over the last 40 or so years. He was a great admirer of Blessed Dominic Barberi CP: the idea setting up the new Dawn Conference occurred to him on the Feast of Blessed Dominic and he always took a keen interest in the life of the Passionists in this country. May he rest in peace and may the good work he began continue to bear much fruit.
