X EASTER OFFERING – This weekend’s collection is for the Easter Offering. If you are unable to put a contribution in the collection, then envelopes are available at the back of the church for you to put into the collection baskets or to put through the Presbytery door at 41 Guildhall Street.
X PARISH CENSUS 2022 – We are undertaking our Parish Census to update our records held by the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady and St Joseph, Folkestone. Forms are available at the back of the churches for completion. Your data will only be used by the Parish and to inform the Diocese and Catholic Church with overall aggregated numbers for headings. Please complete your form today and hand them in or post them through the presbytery letterbox at 41 Guildhall Street.
X CATECHISM AND CATHOLIC STUDY CLASS has now broken up for the Easter holidays and will now resume on Monday 16th May at 7.30pm.
X MASS ATTENDANCE -
last weekend there were 360 people who came to
Sunday Masses. Tea, coffee, chocolate biscuits and bacon butties will be
available at both church halls immediately after Mass on Sunday.
X INTERNET PROBLEMS AND LIVE FEED – we have recently had a problem with the broadband at the parish office. This has resulted in occasional delays to responding to correspondence and also meant we have been unable to have contactless and card donations for the past two weeks. We are also aware that it has interrupted the live streaming feed of the church at OLHoC and Masses that have been held there. BT Openreach are looking into the issues and the line fault is scheduled to be fixed very soon. Please bear with us.
X NEXT WEEKEND 23RD/24TH APRIL – SPECIAL COMBONI MISSIONARIES OF THE HEART OF JESUS MISSION APPEAL – we will have a visiting priest for Saturday night and both Sunday Masses next weekend as part of an appeal for the Comboni Missionaries, also known as the Verona Fathers, to support their ministry and share their work with parishioners in the Diocese.
X CAFOD NOTICE OF THANKS - Thank you so much for your support of CAFOD’s Lent Family Fast Day, the Walk Against Hunger and the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Your support means we can respond in crises such as Ukraine where our Caritas aid workers and volunteers could quickly help families fleeing conflict. It also means we’re there in the long-term and can continue to respond to crises around the world, including in Afghanistan, Syria, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. We work alongside communities as they rebuild their lives once the conflict is over, as in Sierra Leone. For lots more detail on how your donations are being used, please go to the CAFOD website cafod.org.uk
X PLEASE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE SICK, IN HOSPITAL OR RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS, SURGERY OR TREATMENT including Margaret Woolley, Francis Dunn, Lilian Orfila, Beulah Blomfield, Frank Healey, Margaret Murphy and Margaret Foster.
X EASTER FLOWERS APPEAL – thank you to everyone who gave so generously. We have raised a total of £270.71 for the Easter flowers ta both churches in our parish. You can still make a late donation in an envelope marked flowers and putting in the collection or through the door of the Presbytery.
X DON’T FORGET - Sunday Mass on 1st May for Our Lady, Help of Christians and St Joseph the Worker is on the school field at Stella Maris School at 11.00am that day. For those unable to attend, there will be a Saturday evening Mass at 6.00pm on 30th April at OLHoC.
X SECOND COLLECTION FOR MAINTENANCE OF ST GEORGE’S CATHEDRAL is postponed in our parish until weekend of 1st
May.
