Fr Matthew Zooms on St Paul

The diocese is running monthly Zoom Scripture Study Days under the heading “The God Who Speaks”.

The next one will be given on Saturday 11 September,  11am – 12.30pm by Father Matthew. It is titled “A Brief Look at St Paul’s Life and Teaching”.

You can access the talks on the day through Zoom or via Zoom ID 863 9669 5727  Passcode 068790.

The talks also appear on YouTube. Go to the ACES YouTube channel. Details of the programme of talks for the year can be found on the Archdiocesan website.

For more information contact Madeleine (madeleine.walters@rcadc.org) or Kate (kate.duffin@hotmail.co.uk).

Please also note that this weekend,  we will announce at mass the next stage of lifting restrictions for mass, agreed by the 3 churches on Tuesday. Please listen carefully for the announcement at mass which will take effect from next weekend. Our guiding principle is to ease distancing while respecting and facilitating those who wish to continue to do so.

This week we will be deciding how to relax restrictions in our churches. We have guidelines to follow, and so everyone can be assured that safety remains a priority. So please keep an ear or eye out for what will be happening.

Fr Matthew

We offer many thanks to two of our organists who have recently decided that their time at the keyboard is up. Sian O’Donnell at Christ the King and Marie York at St Brigid’s have both given long service in this important ministry of music. Not only have they played beautifully, but they have taken their whole ministry conscientiously, making sure that the music fits the liturgy each week, and putting in extra time for practices etc whenever required. Inevitably this leaves gaps so please consider whether God has given you a gift of music that could be used for his glory, and if so, please let Fr Matthew know as soon as possible.
