This Week’s Announcements
EXALTATION OF THE CROSS: There will be Mass on Monday 14th September, 10am in the Chapel, to celebrate the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.
HOME MISSION SUNDAY: On Sunday 20th September, we will celebrate Home Mission Sunday, a day for us as the Catholic community in England and Wales to celebrate our faith in these lands, and our shared commitment to communicate the beauty and the joy of knowing Jesus Christ. Celebrating the Holy Father’s first encyclical, the theme for this year is “Magnifica Humanitas” as the heart of mission. We can celebrate together the call the Holy Father has placed before us to live out our authenticate humanity which finds it’s fullness in Christ. More details about this can be found on the Bishops’ Conference website - Home Mission Sunday - Catholic Bishops' Conference . The Second Collection on 20th September is to support the work carried out by the Bishops’ Conference Mission Directorate. Through the Mission Directorate we support our Church in a wide field of service and mission here in England and Wales. Please hold this important work in your prayers and give as generously as you can. Thank you.
