COLLECTION - APOSTLES OF JESUS BIOLOGY CENTRE IN UGANDA
Uganda is a very poor country. The very generous support from this Parish over the last ten years helped me to help Ugandan teachers to acquire practical skills they needed. With those skills they have helped their own students to pass exams in practical science so that those students have gone on to higher studies. They run the training courses themselves but need financial support to pay for providing food, equipment, specimens to work on, travel to the different Centres etc. One of the pupils, helped by his teacher to pass his A level, has qualified as a Doctor- we were delighted for him. Please will you help this work to continue? There will be a retiring collection at the masses over this Sunday to support their work. Thank you – from Mary Hills.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS AND OUR SCHOOLS
With the arrival of this Sunday, both St Augustine’s and Crackley Hall Schools will now have come to the end of the school year and be on holiday. May I congratulate the schools on their achievements during the year both in the Curriculum and also the many activities, spiritual, musical and dramatic, sporting and cultural? The life and atmosphere of these two schools come in no small measure as a result of teamwork between the Head teachers, staff, pupils, parents and Governing bodies. May I thank Mrs. Ritchie and Mr. Duigan for their commitment, energy and loving pastoral care shown in the schools and for the wonderful way Father David and I are welcomed when we visit.
Mr. Duigan and Mrs. Ritchie will continue in their posts next year and we wish them every blessing. Farewell to Mrs. Quayle from St Augustine’s, and thank you for your significant contribution to the life of the school.
ST FRANCIS’ CHURCH BALCONY
Over the summer, with reduced numbers at mass, the balcony of St Francis’ Church will not be available. Please sit in the main body of the church and supervise children. Father David and I believe this will benefit the spiritual life of the parish at mass.
FROM FATHER KEVIN
I am grateful to the whole parish for the expressions of congratulations and good wishes at the time of my twenty-first anniversary of ordination as a Catholic priest. Thank you for the greetings cards, Mass cards and gifts. I am truly grateful to you all.
With every blessing,
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.
