Easter Mass times - Cards, giving the times of the Masses and other
services for Holy Week and Easter, are available this weekend as well as
Easter offerings envelopes.
Palm Sunday - Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and all Masses will begin
with the blessing of palms and a procession. Please assemble outside the
presbytery or, if the weather is bad, in the Cenacle. There will be a Service
of Reconciliation next Sunday afternoon at 3pm when Fr Paul will be joined
by other priests from the area to help with the hearing of confessions.
Readers and Extraordinary Ministers - are invited to sign up for
ministering at Masses and Liturgies on Palm Sunday and the Triduum. We
are also in need of twelve volunteers for the Washing of Feet on Maundy
Thursday. Rotas can be found on the display board in the Narthex.
Lent Study Group – Deacon Hugh’s Lenten study group will take place in
the Cenacle on Monday evening at 7.30pm. All are welcome.
Easter Flower Fund – A basket for contributions towards this years
Easter flowers for the church will be at the back of the church after all
weekend Masses. All donations gratefully received.
Essential repairs – Alison Rees is an architect and a parishioner. Last
year, she conducted a quinquennial inspection of the church and the
presbytery. The inspection revealed an urgent need for major work to be
done on both buildings, and Alison will speak about this at Mass this
weekend.
Spring Lecture – John Mullaney will be giving a spring lecture, organised
by the Friends of Reading Abbey, at St James’s Church, on Friday 10 th April
at 7.30pm. The lecture will be about the role of pilgrimage in the history of the
church, concluding with modern pilgrimages and looking at the role the Abbey
area has played in recent Catholic life. This has a special relevance for our
plans to decorate the Shrine of Our Lady of Caversham and revive it as an
important place of pilgrimage. It would be good if there was a significant
Catholic presence in the audience that evening. All are welcome to attend.
Blessings of the Easter Baskets - will take place at Our Lady and St.
Anne’s Church on Saturday 4th April at 10am. Swiecenie odbedzie w kosciele
