X ADVENT WREATH MAKING WORKSHOP ON SATURDAY 26TH NOVEMBER AT ST JOSEPH’S CHURCH HALL FROM 2.00PM UNTIL 4.00PM.
Thinking of doing something special for
Advent as a family? We’ve got it here:
the Advent wreath-making workshop.
Advent is a time of expectation and hope that reminds us why Jesus came
into the world. The Advent wreath
commemorates Jesus’ birth and is a fun family activity that brings the
community together and helps us to remember why we celebrate Christmas.
You are invited to register your interest in taking part by signing up for the workshop on sign-up sheets at OLHoC, St. Joseph, or Stella Maris Primary. This event is designed for the whole family.
X THE POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR NOVEMBER 2022 IS FOR CHILDREN WHO SUFFER. “We pray for children who are suffering, especially those who are homeless, orphans, and victims of war; may they be guaranteed access to education and the opportunity to experience family affection.”
X NOVEMBER ENVELOPES FOR THE DEPARTED ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE BACK OF CHURCH. November is the Month of the Holy Souls, and so throughout the month we continue to keep in our liturgical prayer those special people, particular to us, who have died.
X
PARISH RECONCILLIATION SERVICE
will be taking place
on Saturday 10th December at 4pm at Our Lady, Help of Christians and St Aloysius.
X CHILDREN’S LITURGY AT 11AM MASS - every Sunday starting next week, 27th November 2022. The children will be invited by Fr Alex, at the appropriate time, to accompany the Catechists to the Hall for their liturgy. They will take part in religious activities designed specifically for children.
All children of any age up to the age of 8 are invited. A parent or guardian must accompany children below 5 years. The liturgy will last for 25 minutes, and they will rejoin their parents in the Church for the rest of the Mass.
X SECOND COLLECTIONS – this Sunday is Youth Sunday and the second collection is to support Youth Work in the Diocese and beyond, especially the Southwark Catholic Youth Service (SCYS).
Please note, on the first weekend of December there will be a second collection for Christmas Flowers.
Last Sunday’s second collection for the Archbishop’s Appeal raised a total of £236.39. Thank you for your generosity.
X BEACON PLUS COMMUNITY CAFE – thank you
to all who have tried out the new Beacon Plus Community Café which will be
based in the OLHoC Hall from 9.30am to 2.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday.
The project is for 19-25 year olds to gain valuable work experience
whilst offering an affordable option for local
residents to meet up and have a drink and something to eat. It is a fantastic
learning opportunity for the learners as this is their business, overseen by a
full time member of staff.
Why not pop along after Mass or call in on your way to or from town and support this fantastic community project.
We will also be advertising this as a warm space for local people to come along and looking to extend the Connect Club for the wise and mature which takes place on the first Monday of the month at St Joseph’s (next one is Monday 5th December) to also take place regularly at OLHoC on a weekly basis.
