Previous Collection: £250.11 Church Cleaning: Week 4 Divine Office: Week 1
Second Collection: Will be taken up next weekend in support of the Clifton Children’s Society.
Work in the Church: Please be careful around the church and particularly watch what children might put in their mouths; though every effort has been made to clean the Church before the weekend, caution is recommended.
First Holy Communions: Would those parents who would like their children to receive Holy Communion for the first time next year please write to me and make their intentions known. Please include details of your child’s baptism and your contact details. The first Communions will take place on Sunday 6th June, Corpus Christi.
Unwanted Christmas Presents: Any unwanted Christmas presents will be welcome for raffle prizes on the 13th February for Aid to the Church in Need.
Adult Catechesis: During Lent a series of talks will be presented by the RCIA team and me on the Sacraments. These will take place on Wednesday evenings, but the venue has not been finalised. Please put this in your diary if you are looking to deepen your faith through knowledge and discussion this Lent.
Holy Rood Infant School Swindon: The governors are seeking to appoint a practicing Catholic teacher to the post of Deputy Head for September 2011. School visits are warmly encouraged. The post is subject to an enhanced CRB check. Application packs and further details are available from the school. Closing date the 26th February; interview date : 17th March 2010.
Tea in the Hall: Please do come through to the hall after Sunday Mass. Meet with a very friendly and welcoming group there for tea, coffee and a biscuit and the children can run about safely in the garden. The more people the better!
Parking: Please do try to utilize all the space in the car park by filling it up from the back and also parking close to other cars so that more spaces are available. It would also be advisable to park in Brians Close Road behind the church and then use the pedestrian through path between nos 69 and 71 Oxford Road. There is also usually space available in the The Pippin and sometimes in Abberd Way. Please don’t park illegally.
New Translation of the Roman Missal: The new Missal will probably be introduced into parishes in England in 2011. A proper process of catechesis needs to take place before this happens and a good starting point is to have a look at the texts which have already been improved. You can do so by going to the American Bishops’ Conference’s Liturgy page at http://www.usccb.org/liturgy/missalformation
