ANOINTING MASS
There will be
an Anointing Mass here at 3pm on Saturday 14th July followed by
refreshments in the hall afterwards. More details next week.
DANCE LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING
…and that is exactly what
they did! Well done to the TTT group who facilitated a Morris dancing workshop
in the parish car park. There were lots of newcomers and even the neighbours
were curious. You are bearing fruit!
If you want to know more about this group
please email [email protected]
CATECHISTS GET TOGETHER.
All Catechists are invited to the annual get together
on 16th July. Do you help with Children’s Liturgy, the Baptism
Programme, First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA? Then save the date and come
along. If you are at the School Leaver’s Production come along afterwards.
This will be our
last chance to meet together as a group of Catechists with Fr Doug
THE REPOSITORY
SHOP
…will be closed for a while during church alterations.
If you wish to purchase a Catholic newspaper or
magazine please ask the Mass Stewards – Phil, Joe or John.
Parish Census
Next week-end you will be invited to complete a census
form for yourself and your family members. We are hoping that the majority of
parishioners will do this online, and instructions about doing this will be
available next week. Parishioners will receive a paper version of the Census
form to see what information is being requested. This can be completed and
handed to the welcomers at the back of the church for those of you not
completing the form online. In addition to helpers who will be available to
give information and practical assistance, there will be some laptops and
helpers in Hartley Hall after each of the Masses for the next 2 week-ends.
Arrangements are also being made to come along to the Diamond Club over the
next few weeks and enter census details for members from Holy Cross Parish.
Finally
KEEP CALM, the Census process will
continue during July and we hope to let you know how it’s going through the
Newsletter. (About 800 people come to Mass each week, so we will have a figure
to aim at!)
READERS AND EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF THE EUCHARIST
New Rota’s will start from next week. There are still
a number of vacancies especially for the 11.30am Mass. If you would like to
offer yourself for one of these Ministries please give the Parish Office your
details.
