14th August, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Friends,
A warm welcome to all parishioners and visitors. Father John is taking a well-deserved holiday and will be returning to us on Friday 19th August. In his absence we are very grateful to the Verona Fathers from Sunningdale for celebrating masses this weekend and last weekend. This weekend we celebrate “The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary” – page 188 in the Parish Mass book.
Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion on weekdays.
FREE Catholic newspaper – August edition of The Catholic Post – available to collect from the church porch.
August Edition of the Bible Alive and Day By Day are also in the church porch. Day By Day is 50p per copy and Bible Alive is £1 each.
Please be reminded of the following
While the word “Guidance” seems to be taken by many as you can do as you please, may I suggest that we adopt the following at church for some time.
- Sanitize your hands as you enter and leave.
- Wearing a face covering is now voluntary and please respect the choice other people make. Eucharistic Ministers – please continue to wear face masks when distributing Holy Communion.
- If you have COVID symptoms, please DO NOT COME to participate in Mass while they persist.
- For Holy Communion please approach from the middle aisle with the exception of those on the chairs who will come forward first please.
