Happy Holidays ~ Going away? Do check masstimes.org for a church near you. A warm welcome to those who are visiting us at this time.
Huge thanks to everybody who came along to last Saturday’s quiz night. Terrific night – well supported – and a massive thanks to all who organised the night. Congratulations to the winning team – The Mighty Quinns. Total success as a fun night and raised over £500 for WYD Lisbon. We’ll be announcing the date of our next parish social soon.
World Youth Day – 1st – 6th August – Hannah Quinn and over 60 young folk from across the Archdiocese will be setting off soon for WYD Lisbon to join over 1 million young people for the celebrations.
To this year’s Assembly of Clergy, the archbishop has invited Fr Stephen Wang, author and presenter of Sycamore, a series of videos suitable for evangelisation and renewal. You might want to have a wee look at them online - sycamore.fmSycamoreprogrammehttps://www.sycamore.fm They’re free of charge and have some good ideas about how we in our parish might evangelise.
Well done for establishing the Deanery Councils within a fairly short time frame. All councils have submitted their initial reports as requested for 18th June. After the summer the Evangelisation Steering Committee will respond with feedback to encourage Councils in continuing to reflect on how we can be an evangelising church and how we can best use our resources. Archbishop Nolan.
St Joseph’s and St Andrew’s – We’ll be meeting soon to explore working more closely. Regular updates following Deanery Council and Pastoral Area meetings will be made to the parish.
Confirmation Enrolment Forms will be available from the sacristy at each Mass from mid August.
FYI ~ Work will begin soon to convert the upper hall window into patio doors leading to a sizeable outdoor patio area. Our upper hall and crypt have had energy efficient lighting installed, the crypt has had extensive work carried out to make storage space more ordered and redecoration work has begun on the lower hall. We look forward to its new look.
WiFi. Church, halls, house, hut and grounds now all have password protected guest wifi.
New Bench - We are very grateful to the donor of a new outdoor bench for our patio.
