AUTUMN FAIR
As I write this we look forward to Saturday and the annual social event of the Autumn Fair. Let’s hope that we will have suitable weather to encourage people to attend. I wish to thank Angela Cowley, Val Childs and all other parishioners who have been involved in organizing the event this year. Thanks go to all stall holders and the many other helpers. Don’t forget that a selection of stalls will be in the Parish Centre after the masses on Sunday. Do take the time to have a look!
THIS SUNDAY
Fr. Ben Lodge, a Passionist priest, will be speaking at our masses about Blessed Dominic Barberi and Fr. Ignatius Spencer. Please note this is not a mission appeal,
but a request for prayers for the canonisation of these two holy men. Both of these men frequently worked in the Kenilworth area, and used the town as a base for their missionary work in the local countryside, so they have a particular relevance for us.
NEXT SUNDAY: WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
World Mission Sunday falls on Sunday 21 October. 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.
Thank you for your cooperation and support which will make a vital difference to struggling churches.
SPUC
This pro-life organisation has produced postcards, so that you may send a message to your Member of Parliament, urging a vote against a dangerous abortion Bill which is coming up in the House of Commons on 23 October 2018. The Bill seeks to de-criminalise abortion; which would remove any effective legal protection for unborn babies and their mothers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Postcards available.
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD WISHES TO YOU ALL,
Father Kevin Hooper

Prayers for the sick
Our Parish actively encourages praying for our parishioners, relatives and friends who are sick and in need of support. Until now this has been achieved on an informal basis by parishioners providing details to one of our Priests. With the advent of GDPR, we are obliged to make that process more formal - please click here in order to read more and to download the form that must be completed and given to one of our Priests.
