25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

Today’s Gospel reminds us of the way Jesus approaches things and for anyone who is an employer, the way we manage in our own lives. I think it would be fairly reasonable to react even now to the values espoused in today’s Gospel. Words like “fair” and “living” wage come to mind. Gone are the days when labour had an arbitrary value. Now there is a structure that within reason people should be rewarded for the work they do and the skills they have. Let us be so pleased that the generosity of the Lord far outperforms our narrow way of looking at risk and reward.
 
Gratitude hopefully is our response to the MPs who voted against “The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life Bill” which was voted down last Friday in the House of Commons. Thanks to anyone who contacted their MP.
 
Please support Children’s Liturgy in the hall at the 10:30am Mass on Sundays. If you can help, please do. You will need a DBS clearance.
 
Neil Brackley’s Requiem will be this Monday 21^st September at 10:30am. Bronia Bristow’s Requiem will be this Tuesday 22^nd September at 11:30am.
 
God Bless you all, Fr John
 
St John the Baptist School Application for September 2027 Entry
Parents of children who will be in Year 6 from September and are applying for a place at St John the Baptist School, Woking will need to obtain from the parish a Certificate of Catholic Parish (CCP). By signing a CCP, the parish priest affirms that ‘this child and his/her family are known to me and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the child is from a practising Catholic family'. CCPs will be determinant for applications to SJB school for September 2027 intake. Application forms for a CCP can be obtained from the Parish Office or from Fr John. He will need to have evidence of the Catholic practice of the family if he is to sign the form.
 
God bless you, all,

Fr John

Low Sensory Mass
Did you know the churches in Woking and Knaphill hold low sensory Masses? The next one will be at St Dunstan’s Church, Woking on 19^th September at 6pm. In practice, the changes made for a low sensory Mass are small, but the hope is that they create a calmer and more predictable prayer experience for anyone who would like it, and especially for those who may find sensory input, such as loud noise, bright lighting, or crowds, overwhelming. All are welcome.

This gentle service will offer an opportunity to remember the little lives we have lost, and bring our grief and our hopes before God, supported by the prayer and company of others. All are welcome, whether your loss is recent or many years ago.
