Previous Collection: £267.18 Church Cleaning: Week 3 Divine Office: Week 4
Second Collection: Will be taken up this weekend in support of the Catholic Education Service.
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.
CAFOD Haiti Collection: Many thanks for your contributions to the Haiti collection last Sunday, we sent £280 to CAFOD to support their work there. CAFODare working through Caritas International, a group of Catholic aid agencies – and have already restocked six warehouses in the capital so we can distribute essential water and food supplies. The Catholic church for a long time has been one of the main providers of health care in Haiti , and we managed to re-open the Catholic hospital in Port-au-Prince , after it had been closed for six days. Our next target is the 28 church local health clinics, which we hope to have up and running in the next couple of days. Please see CAFOD's web site for more information, and keep the people of Haiti in your prayers.
Unwanted Christmas Presents: Any unwanted Christmas presents will be welcome for raffle prizes on the 13th February for Aid to the Church in Need.
Pastoral Council Meeting: I would very much like all the pastoral council and anybody else who is interested to set aside Saturday the 6th February 2010 for a day workshop, at the Church of the Sacred Heart Wootton Bassett. The day will start with Mass at 10.00 a.m. The day will be devoted to discerning the future role of the pastoral council in the parish The Diocesan Guidelines on Pastoral Councils will form the background to these discussions. There is a copy of the diocesan guidelines on the diocesan web page at www.cliftondiocese.com/Pastoral-Council-Report-2009 .I also have copies to hand out. I hope we can finish at 3.00p.m. Soup and roles will be provided, but do bring along some other food to share.
Tea in the Hall: Please do come through to the hall after Sunday Mass and 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 Briansclose 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
