Coventry Food Banks
Thank you to all those who were able to collect for the Food Bank. Any further items should be taken direct to the Hope
Centre, Vauxhall Street, Hillfields, Coventry. Please inform Fr. David if you are taking the items. Thank you!
Corpus Christi Gift Aid System Can any parishioners that want to
order a box of Gift Aid Envelopes, that do not currently have a box,
please let Caroline Ward or Barrie Prue know by 30th Dec 2014. A
list will be put at the back of the church. Where parishioners want to
change from using Gift Aid Envelopes to a direct debit arrangement,
or parishioners want to set up a direct debit and are a tax payer,
please put your contact details on the list. Thank you!
New Year’s Day: The Feast of Mary, Mother of
God As we look forward to the beginning of a New
Year, let us renew our commitment to the Lord
through Our Lady on the Feast of Mary, Mother of
God. Mass will be in St. Anne’s Church at 10am on
Thursday 1st January. There will be refreshments
served after Mass in the Joachim Room.
The Traditional Blessing of Straw and Chalk
The Blessing of Straw will take place this weekend the 20/21st December 2014 at the end of all Masses. This lovely custom reminds us of Bethlehem which means House of Bread, and it encourages us to remember the stranger at Christmas.
The Blessing of Chalk will take place on the weekend of 3rd/4th January 2015. This custom asks for God’s blessing on our
homes for the New Year as we mark our doors with the invocation of the Magi; 20+C+M+B+15.
St. Stephen’s Day: 26th December 10.30am Mass
St. Stephen is the patron saint of Altar Servers. A number of our Altar Servers are part of the Guild of St.
Stephen. Those who are part of the Guild wear a medal around their neck during Mass. The Mass Intention
on St. Stephen’s Day will be for the Altar Servers and their families. It will be an opportunity for those who
are part of the Guild to renew their promises and for new members to be enrolled. All our Altar Servers from
both parishes should do their best to be at this Mass. Can parents please do their best to bring them, and
can parishioners do their best to attend this Mass to thank our young people who exercise this important
ministry in our parishes.
Those from St. Anne’s will need to bring their albs from the Church after the 9am Christmas morning Mass. Thank you!
Refreshments will be served after Mass in the Fr. Tuite room.
Parents Confirmation
Meeting
The second meeting for parents from both parishes whose
children are preparing for
Confirmation is on Thursday
22nd January 2015 at 7.15pm
in Corpus Christi Church.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be on Sunday 8th
February 2015 at 10.30am
The Bambino (the baby Jesus)
In the Church of Sancta Maria in Ara Cœli (St Mary of
the Altar of Heaven) in Rome, is a carved wooden
image of the baby Jesus made from Olive wood from
the Garden of Gethsemane and adorned with votive
offerings. The children of Rome are encouraged to
write prayer intentions and leave them beside the
bambino. In both our churches there is a statue of
the Infant of Prague. We, adults and children could
leave our own prayer intentions next to the Bambino
now and throughout the Christmas season.
