1st August

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

Fr. John is in Ireland.

We warmly welcome Bishop John MacWilliam from the Missionaries of Africa (aka The White Fathers) to celebrate all Masses this weekend and to give a mission appeal.

“The Missionaries of Africa (aka The White Fathers) are an international team of priests, brothers and lay associates from Africa, Britain and many countries around the world. Any ministry which has a real relationship with Africa, no matter in what part of the world it may be, is considered by the Missionaries of Africa to be within the scope of the apostolate. Through parish work, building up small Christian communities, working with the media, involvement in justice and peace, agriculture, seminary training, education and social welfare, the Missionaries of Africa aim to work in partnership with the Church in Africa…and above all else to help build up the leadership of the Churches.”

There will be a retiring collection after each Mass. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to donate electronically then you can do so by using any of the following methods:

• Card readers in the Church porch
• The Missionaries of Africa website: missionariesofafrica.org.uk/donations
• By transfer directly to their bank account:

Account name: Society of Missionaries of Africa

Account number: 82296731
