Friday 6th: St Maria Goretti, the young girl from a Passionist parish in Italy who was killed defending herself against the attack of a would-be rapist and died with words of forgiveness for him on her lips. Also the feast-day of our own Sr Maria. ( Wednesday 4 July is the anniversary of the opening of St George’s Cathedral in 1848. The opening celebrations were attended by both Blessed Dominic Barberi CP and Fr Ignatius Spencer CP – an interesting part of our “family history”.) Saturday July 7th: Feast of the Translation of Thomas a Becket: Mass will be celebrated in Canterbury Cathedral at 8.00pm by Bishop Nicholas Hudson. Entrance to the Cathedral by the South Door. BIBLE WEEKEND: We are indebted to David and Sarah Beresford and their daughter Mollie from the Catholic Bible School for the wonderful weekend they gave us last weekend. All who came were delighted with what they learned and the very pleasant experience of being together. The Parish Pastoral Council undertook all the planning and advertising, the Wednesday Lunch Club enlisted support e.g. from our Indian community for all the catering as well as preparing much of the food themselves. There were two excellent testimonies given by members of the parish about their own faith journey which encouraged and uplifted all who heard them. And the final session on the lawn in the Retreat garden, with a delicious barbecue, was something of a highlight as we were re-told the story of Jesus walking on the water and invited to experience something ourselves of what St Peter experienced. Families and single people enjoyed an afternoon in the sun and many said what a good venue we had!! A break during the presentation allowed us to get up to date with England v. Panama…. But by far the most important focus was what we saw with our own eyes as the miracle of Walking on Water was brought alive for us. There is a Bible School session in Richmond parish this weekend – we keep them in our prayers. FR PATRICK CP goes on holiday on Tuesday and will be back towards the end of July. We trust he will enjoy his well-earned rest!!
PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL meets this coming Wednesday at 7.00pm – a major item on the agenda is the review of the Bible Weekend and what we might consider as a follow up. FIRST FRIDAY; 6TH July. There will be an evening Mass at 7.00 pm followed by a Service of Healing. Our young friends from the Southwark Diocesan Youth Service will be joining us and leading the music. FAIR TRADE: After the 6.00 pm Mass this Saturday and after the 9.30 a.m. Sunday. There will be no more Fair Trade on sale until the end of August – call in and buy your supplies this weekend while you can!! FORTHCOMING FUNERALS: June Belchem’s Requiem will take place on Monday at 10.00 Audrey Birtle’s Requiem will be on Friday at 11.00; Audrey’s body will be brought into church at 4.30 pm on Thursday 5th. APOSTLESHIP OF THE SEA: Next weekend we have the opportunity to support the wonderful work done in the ports around the country to care for seafarers. So many of the cargo ships these days are crewed by Catholic Pilipino and Indian seamen who are often poorly paid and in need of spiritual and material help – the port chaplains of the Apostleship of the Sea are a vital lifeline for great numbers of these people. FLOWERS are in abundance at the moment in your Gardens, The Flower Guild would be very grateful for any donations to decorate the Church. If you would like to donate, we would appreciate flowers being left at the Church no later than Thursday of each week for us to arrange on Thursday or Friday. A bucket will be left in the porch for these. Monetary donations are also welcome. Thank you - Stella Shepherd THE ST JOHN BOSCO CHILDRENS’ SUMMER CAMP at Aldham Essex.
