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.

For the hard-of-hearing

Do remember that the “loop system” operates here. Marriage Week – A Time of Gratitude and Support As we look back on Marriage Week, we are reminded that while St Valentine’s Day brings joy to many couples, it can also be a tender or challenging time for others. Throughout the week, we held in prayer the Vocation of Marriage and all those living it out in its many forms. Retrouvaille England and Wales accompanied more than twenty couples who attended their programme beginning on Thursday 12 February. We give thanks for the courage of those who took part, and for the dedication of the Retrouvaille team who continue to offer hope and healing to marriages in difficulty. Let us also offer our gratitude for all couples who faithfully live out this vocation day by day. We pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide and strengthen those facing the pressures of parenting, caring for elderly relatives, navigating life changes, coping with illness, or adjusting to the realities of ageing. Thank you for your ongoing support on behalf of the Retrouvaille team. Their next weekend programme will begin on 2 October, and we continue to hold their work in our prayers.
