As we celebrate today Jesus’ victory over sin and death, and welcome the New
Life He gives, I thank each one of you, for what you do and the life you lead
to show your faith, in the Resurrection. Thank you to all for the special
contribution you make for the life of our Parish. Go and share the news and joy
of the risen Lord to all and especially those who are dear to you.
Happy Easter, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

R. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.
V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Those wishing to receive a blessing are asked to approach the priest with their arms crossed over their chess. Those receiving Holy Communion in your hands please put it in your mouth before leaving the minister/priest.
X THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY! - Our
parish relies on donations from parishioners to help cover the running costs.
We thank you for your generosity.
Did you know you can donate via bank standing order? This is a quick and easy way to donate, rather than needing to find cash on a weekly basis.
The parish bank details are:
Account Name: RCAS Folkestone
Account Number: 08605556
Sort Code: 52-41-42
Please use your name as your
reference. If you are registered for gift aid in this parish, please add your
envelope number alongside your name ie '01 Smith'.
If choosing to pay via bank
standing order, there is no need to do this on a weekly basis (unless you wish
to do so). You can consolidate your weekly donations into a single monthly
donation i.e. £10 per week would be a £40 monthly donation.
Not currently registered for
gift aid in this parish but you pay tax in the UK?
Please consider registering for
the scheme. Sign-up sheets are at the back of the church and once complete,
post through the door of the presbytery. A box of envelopes will be left for
you at the back of the church over the following couple of weeks with your name
on it. Alternatively, you can start paying via bank standing order as above.
To put your mind at rest, this
does not cost you, the donor, any more. It allows the parish to claim an
additional 25% from the government on top of your donation.
With grateful thanks, your parish finance committee.

X REQUEST FROM THE SVP - they would like to hear from a Parishioner who has a Transit sized van (or who has access to one), who would be able to, on the odd occasion, help to collect and deliver the odd piece of furniture such as a bed, or table, or a small sofa to a person in need that the SVP are helping. An SVP member would accompany the driver in the collection and delivery around the Folkestone area. Mileage would be paid.
WE FLY TO THY PROTECTION
We
fly to Thy protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do
not despise our petitions in our necessities, but
deliver us always from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
