X PARISH SECRETARY VACANCY - Despite the fact that we have started the interviews, we would be pleased to hear from anyone who may have missed the deadline to also come forward, especially Parishioners with relevant office, secretarial and administration experience to assist our Parish Priest with the smooth running of our Parish. This is a part time role requiring two 4-hour shifts a week, 10am – 2pm on a Monday and on a Friday, although there may be some flexibility for the right candidate. Payment will be £10.42/hour. This is an interesting, varied and rewarding job, involving secretarial, financial data entry, purchasing, office organisation and management, along with Parish committee and volunteer liaison.
Anyone interested in discussing or learning more about this opportunity, are encouraged to kindly contact Fr Alex on either 01303 252823 or by email at folkestone@rcaos.org.uk
X REQUIEM MASS OF BRIAN DONLAN – this Friday at 10.00am is the Requiem mass for Brian Donlan and our thoughts are with Gerardine and all the family. All are welcome to attend and there will be refreshments afterwards provided in the hall by the Beacon Plus team. Again all are very welcome to attend this Mass and the refreshments afterwards.
May Brian Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.
X NEXT WEEKEND’S SECOND COLLECTION WILL BE FOR THE PRIEST TRAING FUND - the
priesthood has always been essential to the life of the Church, from the time
of Jesus until today. Good Shepherd
Sunday is the day we pray for vocations, for our priests, and take up the
Priest Training Fund second collection. This fund pays for the formation of men
to become priests in our Archdiocese.
After their ordination, our priests dedicate their lives to serving
Christ and His people in our parishes, hospitals, schools, chaplaincies,
prisons and in service to the needy, throughout South London, Kent and
Surrey. We are blessed to have 3 men in
formation to the Priesthood for our Archdiocese. However, it costs £30,000 a
year to sponsor each seminarian. They study for 6 years before being ordained a
Catholic priest.
We therefore rely on your generous support and prayers. Please support
our priests of the future with a gift today.
Thank
you!

- Cash / Cheque – please use the Priest Training Fund envelopes at the back of church.
X DO YOU PAY TAX ON YOUR EARNINGS? Something we don’t enjoy but we have to do. Well the good news is that if you do pay tax you can join the Gift Aid scheme where the parish can claim your tax back on what you give to the church. This is only possible if you become part of our Gift Aid scheme. It will not cost you a penny but for every pound you give, the parish will get an additional 20p from the Government. If you’re interested, please talk to Dylan, George or enquire at the office for a Gift Aid form.
Remember, it doesn’t cost you any more money but is a big source of revenue for the parish amounting to thousands of pounds.
X MASS ON THE FIELD - SUNDAY MASS ON 7TH MAY 2023 will be our Parish Mass on the field at Stella Maris School for Our Lady, Help of Christians and St Joseph the Worker at 11.00am. After the celebration of Mass, it is hoped that many of you will stay for a picnic – bring along your food and blankets/chairs. There will be some seating available, also teas and coffees. There will be no 9.00am Mass at OLHoC that day. For those unable to attend, there will be a Saturday evening Mass, as per usual, at 6.00pm on 6th May at OLHoC.
Bring your own chairs and blankets to the Mass
on the field as limited seating will be available. There will be tea and coffee
provided afterwards and all are encouraged to stay and bring your own picnic to
have after the Mass.
