TWENTY NINTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR
19th
October 2014
Dear Parishioners,
This weekend October 18th and 19th, we will have the “Renewal of Marriage Vows” at
all Masses. I will be using a holy water sprinkler from the site of the wedding feast at
Cana, which I got this year in the Holy Land. Our Renewal of Vows also include
prayers for marriage and family life and will take the place of the normal bidding
prayers.
This week we are starting to put together our Book of Remembrance for the Holy
Souls in November. There are envelopes available at the back of the church which
you can place into the box which is now at the back of the church also. you can also
post these through the presbytery letter box. Please hand in the envelopes over the
next few weeks so that we can put together the Book of Remembrance which we read
from during all the Masses in November. Your donations will be used to help with the
sick and disabled people travelling to Lourdes next year. Thank you for your generous
support with this.
As you know we are welcoming Bishop Kenney to the Parish for our Visitation on the
weekend of 15th and 16th November. His outline timetable for the weekend is as
follows: arrive around lunch time. 1.30 – 3.30pm, visit some of the sick of the parish
with some of the Priests and Deacons. 3.30pm, meet Headteachers and School
Governors. 4.00pm, tea with various parish groups (fifteen minutes with each group
to include Youth Group, SVP, Legion of Mary, Justice and Peace, Pastoral Care, Sports
Groups, Mercia Club). Could any parish group leaders see me to arrange their slot
between 4.00pm and 5.30pm. He will celebrate the 6.00pm Mass and meet
parishioners afterwards over a cup of tea. 7.30pm interviewing Priests. On Sunday
morning he will be at the 9.00am, 10.30am and 12 Noon Masses. After lunch,
interviews with four Deacons. 4.00pm, visit Holy Rosary Convent. 4.30pm, tea with
Parish Finance Group. 5.30pm, review of visit with Parish Priest. 6.30pm, depart.
This timetable is of course flexible but we will try to keep to these timings and could
group leaders please confirm that they are able to come along. I ask that you all
support us over this weekend and allow the Bishop to see the full life of the parish
and the various ways in which so many of you are involved. The Visitations only occur
every six years, so it is important that we give a good reflection of the life of the parish.
It will be a good opportunity for the Bishop to meet those who he will be confirming
this coming year and those involved in this year’s sacramental programmes.
We will have the Holy Land reunion on Thursday November 6th at 7.00pm in the
Library. Our Justice and Peace group will also host an evening and will be showing a
film entitled “The Stones Cry Out” telling the story of the Christians in Palestine. This

will be held on Thursday 13th November at 7.00pm in the Library.
It will be very informative for all those who went to the Holy Land,
as well as people wanting to become more involved in our Justice
and Peace Group and some of the political aspects of the church’s
mission in the world.
We had a good meeting of the Pastoral Care Group and are now
working to update our records of those who need visiting and will
do this in conjunction with our Eucharistic Ministers, Saint Vincent
de Paul and Legion of Mary. Forms are available from the Sacristy
or the parish office for all our Eucharistic Ministers and anyone
who visits on behalf of the parish (SVP and Legion). Could all
ministers and visitors pick up a form and complete it so that our
list can be brought fully up to date.
The Lourdes trip is now full with all 100 places taken. We are
opening a waiting list in case of any cancellations. Of course, if
there is a continued high level of interest we can book another fifty
people in due course. People also have the option of travelling
with the Diocese Group, although this will be a little more
expensive. There is the option to stay in the same hotel as our
parish group. If people want to explore the option of booking their
own flights, again I can give you details of how to do this.
The Talks on the Faith continue this Wednesday 22nd October and
the theme will be on Confirmation.
The course for new Altar Servers at Christ the King will begin after
half term. We also have the classes for children at non-catholic
schools who need to prepare for their communion and
confirmation starting on Tuesday 11th November at 5.00pm in the
Library.
Thanks to all who supported the Walking Club this season. We will
start again in Spring with perhaps a one off New Year’s Day walk
as well.
We have our next Boxing Club show on 31st October which you
may wish to support.
God bless.
This week we pray for
Marie Phillips and John O’Kane
May they rest in peace.
We pray for those preparing for Baptism.
