Supporting our charities and the
people they serve during the
COVID-19 pandemic
The Bishops of England and Wales are
urgently calling for Catholics to continue
supporting our charities and the people
they serve during the COVID-19
pandemic. Support the charities’
appeals here.
Bishop Terence Drainey, Chair of the
Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) is
urging us to keep the poor, vulnerable
and isolated members of our community
at the forefront of our minds at this
difficult time. The COVID-19 outbreak is
putting our Catholic charities under
great strain because of increased
demand and increased costs together
with adverse effects on volunteer
support. There will also be a certain loss
of income from parish collections.
Click HERE to read more from the
Bishops conference and don’t forget to
include Parish donations all of you
who use the Weekly Offering envelopes.
Would it be possible for them to be
popped through the Presbytery letter
box if you are passing by that way
Cannon would especially like to receive
the ones which are for March and April.
You can also donate to this parish or any
other parish via the Donate link on the
Diocese Home page.
Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity 2021 18 - 25 January
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in
2021 has been prepared by the Monastic
Community of Grandchamp in
Switzerland. The theme that was
chosen, “Abide in my love and you shall
bear much fruit”, is based on John 15:1-
17 and expresses Grandchamp
Community’s vocation to prayer,
reconciliation and unity in the Church
and the human family.
Today the community has fifty sisters,
all women from different generations,
Church traditions, countries and
continents. In their diversity the sisters
are a living parable of communion. They
remain faithful to a life of prayer, life in
community and the welcoming of
guests. The sisters share the grace of
their monastic life with visitors and
volunteers who go to Grandchamp for a
time of retreat, silence, healing or in
search of meaning.
For 2021, the sisters are inviting
churches across the world to enter into
their tradition of prayer and silence that
is rooted in the ancient traditions of the
Church catholic.

Eucharistic Adoration & Private

Llay Catholic Church, we will be opening

Prayer from 2pm - 4pm every Tuesday to

Divine Mercy Chaplet
The only chaplet
we have that was
dictated by Jesus
Himself; he gave it
to his secretary of
Divine Mercy, St.
Faustina. The Lord
made it clear that
the Chaplet was
not just for her, but
for the whole
world. Prayed on
ordinary rosary
beads, we can pray
this chaplet at any time and we can also
make a novena of prayer for any
intentions. We must not change or add
any other wording. Follow this link to the
“Divine Mercy Chaplet”
Peace Sunday
In England and Wales we celebrate Peace
Sunday on the third Sunday of January
(17th). Resources for parishes, young
people and schools are provided by Pax
Christi – part of the international Catholic
movement for Peace.
The day provides us with an opportunity
to build on the global World Day of Peace
that is celebrated on New Year’s Day each
year and is accompanied by a message
from Pope Francis.
Pax Christi’s National President is the Vice
President of the Bishops’ Conference,
Archbishop Malcolm McMahon of
Liverpool.
Promoting the theme, ‘A Culture of Care
as a Path to Peace’, Archbishop McMahon
wrote to parishes to encourage them to
support the work of Pax Christi and to
raise up the Gospel message of peace:
“The Christian message of peace, through
reconciliation, justice and nonviolence,
can offer hope and direction in these
times. I invite you to seriously consider
facilitating a collection for, or making a
donation to, the work of Pax Christi at
this time as a way to make a practical
contribution to continuing the work of
peace.”
We Remember in our prayers
Those whose anniversaries occur this week
May they rest in peace and rise in
Glory
