X REMINDER – THERE IS CURRENTLY NO COFFEE IN THE HALL AFTER MASS - with the recent rise in infection rates for Covid, a decision has been taken to temporarily suspend tea and coffee after Mass. Whilst the church remains safe, with limited moving around and masks currently being worn, we are unable to offer that level of health and safety in the hall for tea and coffee after Mass. We apologise for any inconvenience, but your safety is our paramount concern. It is planned to resume tea and coffee on Sunday 13th February.
X THE SYNOD QUESTIONNAIRE – this is the last call for any late Synod questionnaire responses. Please get them in by no later than Sunday 23rd January.
X WHITE FLOWER APPEAL 2022 – thank you to everyone who gave so generously to the White Flower Appeal for the Society for the Protection of Unborn children (SPUC). In total, £218.12 was raised as the retiring collection last weekend.
X THIS WEEKEND’S SECOND COLLECTION IS FOR PAX CHRISTI. Envelopes will be available at the back of the church and there will be baskets for loose change at the end of Mass on Sunday.
“The work of Pax Christi is based on the gospel and inspired by faith. Our vision is of a world where people can live in peace, without fear of violence in all its forms. Rooted in Catholic Christianity, we work with all who share our values to abolish war and create communities of peace and justice”.
X CRIB COLLECTIONS – the
Crib collections this year came to £158.79 at OLHoC and £35.00 at St Joseph’s.
The collection from OLHoC will go to the Friends of the Holy Land, which supports
our brothers and sisters who are suffering the land of Our Lord. This was a
request of Archbishop John in his Ad
Clerum of December 2021. The crib collection at St Joseph’s is going to the
Society of African Missions and our continued support for the work of Fr Garry
in Liberia.
