THIS SUNDAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
World Mission Sunday falls on Sunday 22 October 2017. On this day the whole Church unites in an act of universal solidarity in prayer for its missionary activity and in a second collection at Mass to support the Church where it is too young or too poor to be self-sufficient. 40% of Church membership falls into this category. As the Pope’s official charity for overseas mission, this year Missio is focussing on the peace-making efforts of the Church in South Sudan, which is considered to be one of the poorest and most unstable countries in the world. Thank you for your cooperation and support which will make a vital difference to struggling churches.
AUTUMN FAIR
Val Childs and Angela Cowley wish to thank all who helped in any way to support, prepare for, run and tidy up after what proved to be a most enjoyable two days.
This year we raised a wonderful profit of £2778-19. The Repository takings are separate from this figure (about £130). Thank you all for your great generosity.
Father Kevin wishes to express his thanks to Angela, Val, Pam, Kevin and the whole team, in particular those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, to prepare and to clear away. Special thanks are sent to the schools and to all parishioners for such kind and generous support.
PIETY STALL AT ST FRANCIS' CHURCH
Various items for Advent and Christmas are available. Come and view our Advent Calendars, Christmas cards and 2017 diaries. Various Holy Cards for Mass etc. are available. Olive wood goods from the Holy Land are on sale. Opening times at all Sunday masses including after the 8.00am mass at St Austin’s.
Your support is invited so come and have a look!
FOOD BANK
At Harvest time, please remember the Food bank boxes. These are in both churches!
With every blessing,
Father Kevin Hooper
