Life:
“Our defence of the innocent
unborn, for example, needs to be clear, firm and passionate, for at stake is
the dignity of a human life, which is always sacred… Equally sacred, however,
are the lives of the poor, those already born, the destitute, the abandoned and
the underprivileged, the vulnerable infirm and elderly exposed to covert
euthanasia, the victims of human trafficking, new forms of slavery, and every
form of rejection”. Pope Francis in Gaudete et Exsultate (no 101)
PARISH
COUNCIL MEETING

PARKING IN
SANGLEY RD
Please be aware that 7 parishioners got parking tickets last
Sunday morning during the 10am Mass. Lewisham parking will not give us details
why. Each person has to contact them individually (the contact details are on
your tickets). We would welcome feedback so we can make you aware of any
additional restrictions.
ATTENTION CONFIRMATION
CANDIDATES
If
you have not submitted your contact form to the parish office then please treat
this as urgent. The deadline was last Sunday (11th November).
The
signing in sheets for your service project sessions are in the contact corner
titled ‘Apostolic signing sheet’ Many Thanks….
BAPTISM PREPARATION
If
you wish to have your baby baptised then please complete an application form
for the preparation course and attach a COPY of the child’s BIRTH CERT and a
COPY of your own Baptism certificate and submit it to the parish office.
Stewardship
Reflection.
How would you
spend your day if you knew it was the last day you would spend on earth?
Undoubtedly, it would not be a normal day. The point of today’s Gospel reading
is that the end-time is always imminent. The good steward remains prayerfully
alert, ready to give an accounting; and living each day in the awareness of the
coming judgment and salvation. How do we exercise stewardship over our daily
lives? Are we prepared to give an accounting? How will we allow Christ to work
in and through us to prepare for the reconciliation of the heavens and the
earth?
PLEASE
NOTE
There is no parent & toddler group on Monday (19th
November)
