Welcome Message from Father Kevin Hooper

 

Week Commencing Sunday 1st August 2010

Welcome to the web site of the Catholic Parish of Kenilworth, served by the Churches of St Augustine & St Francis of Assisi.

PAPAL VISIT TO THE ARCHDIOCESE
As you will all now be aware, the venue chosen for the Beatification Mass on:
Sunday 19 September at 10am is Cofton Park, Rednal, Birmingham.

Admission to Cofton Park for the Mass is by ticket only and we have been allocated 94 tickets for the whole parish i.e. both churches. I am sorry that there may be some disappointed parishioners.  Application forms are available to be filled out and returned to church or the Priest’s House by noon on Monday 2 August. If numbers are over 94 a draw will be made and successful applicants notified.
N.B.IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO ‘MAKE YOUR OWN WAY’ THERE
STOP PRESS CHILDREN ATTENDING WILL BE CHARGED ONLY £10

THIS SUNDAY: ST AUGUSTINE’S SCHOOL
We are fortunate to have St Augustine’s as our parish school and for generations it has been highly regarded by parishioners. An Aided Catholic School in a parish depends on the spiritual support of parishioners and sometimes practical support. I am profoundly grateful to Mr Michael Swinburne for speaking to us last weekend and to Mrs Scull for her attendance at mass here. On behalf of all involved, I wish to thank all parishioners for their wonderful generosity. Over £1200 was collected for the use of the school. Please continue to support the school prayerfully and practically.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS
When we each go on holiday we may change our scenery and the activities we enjoy. We should not, however, take a holiday from Our Lord. Wherever we travel there is usually a Catholic Church. The discipline of our Catholic Church is that, unless prevented by illness or any other grave cause, we should be at Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. If we fail to do this we should refrain from receiving Holy Communion until absolved in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
May our summer lead us closer to the Lord and not away from Him.
 

 

Every blessing and all good wishes to you all.

Father Kevin

He is often referred to as the "Curé d'Ars".
