SUNDAY 17 OCTOBER
Last Sunday our Holy Father, Pope Francis, inaugurated a two year Synodal pathway process for the whole church. This will involve discussions in parishes, dioceses and the whole Catholic family.
The Archbishop will introduce this to us in a Pastoral Letter on Sunday.
All good wishes go to our teachers and pupils beginning, or preparing for, Half Term.
CTKD TAIZÉ WORSHIP
This will be held at All Saints, Leek Wootton on Sunday, 17 October, starting at 6.30pm. It is hoped that people will come in person, but it will also be live streamed on Zoom (see Bulletin for details).
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
World Mission Sunday falls this year on Sunday 24 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. Envelopes for Gift Aid are available.
MISSIO (RED BOX) COLLECTION
We really need to send in our missionary offerings to the Pontifical Missionary Society. If you are able, please could you bring your Missio Boxes into church for collection?

ARRANGEMENTS FOR SAFE WORSHIP
In the light of the ongoing guidance issued by the Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales that we create a safe environment for worship, whilst mindful of the current conditions and ongoing challenges posed by the virus we feel it safe to return to a more normal pattern of worship.
Please bear this in mind if you choose to attend Mass here. Everyone is welcome to attend any Mass at either church and no booking is needed.
These steps follow the current guidance and will allow us to worship safely.

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.
