Welcoming through Baptism

newsletter

Dear friends and parishioners

We welcome into the church through Baptism this coming Saturday morning at St Brigid’s. Poppy and Mila Mallette, and remember their parents, family and godparents in our prayers. Meanwhile, a week later, during 6.00pm Mass on 3 July at Christ the King, we will welcome an adult into the church, Lee Robinson. He will receive the three Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Lee has been a regular attender for a good time, and has worked with Ceri Facey-Davies as his catechist. He has offered his services at that Mass since the new ministry started. Please remember him in your prayers as he prepares for this celebration.

Mass timetable

newsletter

Dear friends and parishioners

As mentioned last week, we return to our pre-pandemic weekday Mass timetable with Thursday morning at Christ the King, Thursday evening at St Brigid’s (live-streamed) and Friday morning at St Paul’s.

We also remember that the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday (or Saturday evening) is still lifted. Our numbers at the weekend Masses at Christ the King and St Paul’s are approaching or have reached capacity, so please do remember that you can attend any of our Masses during the week. Thank you.

Fr Andy’s 40th Anniversary Celebration

newsletter,

There will be a celebration for Fr Andy’s 40th Anniversary on Friday 2 July 2021 at 6pm, St Brigid’s Church, in the church grounds and hall with Romeat Pizzas and Ice Creams.

If you would like to celebrate with Fr Andy you should either ring Bernice Rayer (20 626829) or email Anne Burns (anneburns2021@gmail.com) no later than Wednesday 16 June.

We will need to know how many would be in your family group (adults and children) and also, whether you would like to attend (a) Mass and Gathering, (b) Mass only or (c) Gathering only.

Please note that as numbers are restricted due to Covid restrictions, your telephone call or email will not automatically reserve you a place. It is likely that some Gathering places will be for the hall and some for the grounds. If you have a preference for either, please let us know in your email or telephone call.

A place at the Mass and/or Gathering will be confirmed with you by Wednesday 23 June.
