traditions might work together to defend and
promote peace, justice, and human fraternity.

Alliance of Catholic Marriage
Organisations in England & Wales
The Alliance of Catholic Marriage Organisations exists
out of a shared desire to be united around our
service to the Church and our commitment to offer
clearer, more joined-up pathways of support for
couples. The Alliance recognises that this
commitment is best achieved through the deepening
of our relationships - not formal structures - but with
the hope that a more visible display of our unity will
be a blessing to the Church and the couples we
serve.
See notice in the porch.
Next Sunday (11th/12th) is “Prisoners’
Sunday”
We keep prisoners and their families in our thoughts
and in our prayers.

Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency
(CSSA)
A public call to gather information from anyone who
has had recent contact with a Diocese or a Religious
Life Group (RLG). This includes experiences that are
new or ongoing, as well as those connected to non-
recent abuse. This process is being conducted with
transparency, respect, and in a survivor-centred way.
Your cooperation will help to identify good practice
and areas for improvement across the Church.
Information regarding this survey can be found Here.
The direct link to the survey can be found Here.
Why not sign a “Gift Aid” Form?
If you are a tax payer do, please, sign a “gift-aid”
form. This takes only a few moments to do, it costs
you nothing, but greatly enhances the value of what
you give by allowing the parish to claim back the tax
on your donation. Just see the priest or parish
secretary if interested. And another reminder please
do use your offertory envelopes for your giving!!
This years Gift Aid donations added £5,484.77
Quietness (Reverence) in Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be reverent, for this is
the house of the Lord. Before Mass speak to God.
During Mass let God speak to you. After Mass speak
to one another, but quietly, without disturbing those
who are at prayer – ideally in the porch.

The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both
humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
Old copies of “The Tablet”
Some old copies of “The Tablet” will be placed in the
porch from time to time – to be taken away and read
by anyone who would like to do so.
For the hard-of-hearing
Do remember that the “loop system” operates here.
“Safeguarding” Message
The Catholic Church is committed to the
safeguarding and protection of children, young
people, and vulnerable adults. Every person has a
right to be safe and respected within our community
in a non-judgemental way.
As a parish, we take this responsibility seriously. We
follow national safeguarding guidelines, ensure all
volunteers are properly vetted and trained, and
maintain clear procedures for reporting concerns.
Our parish is open and is inclusive to all who come to
pray within.
Together, let us continue to build a community of
care, trust, and safety for all in an open honest,
tolerant and receptive manner.
If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child
or vulnerable adult, or if you wish to speak with
someone about a safeguarding issue, please contact
our Parish Safeguarding Representative or the
Diocesan Safeguarding Office.
