We are conscious that there have been lots of calls on your generosity recently – and there are some further obligatory second collections to come – but we felt parishioners might like to show their support for the victims of the Kensington fire disaster. There will be a collection for them at Mass on the weekend of 2nd July, which will be sent to Caritas Westminster, the social welfare arm of the Westminster Diocese

Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment: You’ll find some copies of this booklet at the back of the church. It is part of the preparation for the next Synod of Bishops on this theme, chosen by Pope Francis because he wants the whole Church to pay attention to all that God is doing in the lives of young people today. We hope that our young people (teens upwards) will take a copy, read it and talk about it with each other and their families. Older people might also like to borrow a copy to see what it’s about!
For the time being, please send newsletter items to Joanna on 01432 760816
