JUST A REMINDER: LENT 2019
Lent gives us the opportunity not only to think of self-denial but also of renewing and refreshing our spiritual lives by doing something new or taking up again something from which we may have lapsed. Let us pray for the grace to keep a good Lent.
Prayer, fasting and concern for others are spiritual keynotes in Lent.
• What about coming to an extra Mass in the week? Celebrating Reconciliation?
• Stations of the Cross Friday 7pm at St Francis’ and Sunday 4.30pm at St Austin’s.
THIS SUNDAY: CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY COLLECTION
The Lent Family Fast Day was on Friday 15 March and gave us the opportunity to exercise self-denial on behalf of the needy of the world. Please return envelopes in the second collection over this Sunday. All other donations would also be welcome.
FIRST RECONCILIATION
Please remember in your prayers our young people who are, at this time, celebrating the Sacrament of First Confession and Absolution.
9 March was the date for St Augustine’s School and so we congratulate our young people there. It will be on 18 March for the small Parish Group and the same day for those at Crackley Hall. We offer our prayers and ask God’s blessings for all involved.
NEXT SUNDAY – JAM SALE
Sister Felicity will be selling her jars of jam at all Masses next Sunday 23 /24 March and she is looking forward to your kind support
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.
