Paul II on March 5, 2000 and was canonized only in October

Eucharistic Miracle Confirmed in Poland
A eucharistic miracle in Poland is being confirmed as
authentic by the local bishop. In a letter read in all the
parishes in the Diocese of Legnica on Sunday,
Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski announced the formal
approval of a eucharistic miracle and granted permission to
venerate the relic. On December 25, 2013 at St. Jacek
parish, while distributing Holy Communion, a Sacred Host
fell to the floor, and was picked up and placed in a
container of water. After some time it began to show a red
appearance.
In
January
this
year,
Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski presented the matter to the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome. The
miracle was approved by the Holy See in Rome and may
now
be
honored
by
the
faithful.
Bishop Zbigniew Kiernikowski hopes that all of this will
serve to deepen veneration for the Eucharist and will
profoundly impact the lives of those approaching the relic.
He stated, “We see this marvelous sign as a special
expression of God's kindness and love, who so humbles
Himself before man.”
Latin Mass
Fr Serafino and the Marian Franciscans of Gosport will celebrate
the Latin Mass on the last Monday of every month at 7:15pm.
th
The next Latin Mass will be celebrated this Monday 25 April at
7:15pm.

From Fr John…
How does God reveal his glory to us? During his last supper
with his disciples on the eve of his sacrifice on the cross,
Jesus speaks of his glory and the glory of his Father. What is
this glory? It is the cross which Jesus speaks of here. The
cross of Jesus reveals the tremendous love and mercy of God
the Father and his beloved Son for the human race. John the
Evangelist writes, "For God so loved the world that he gave
his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should
not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
There is no greater glory and honour that one can offer than
the willing sacrifice of one's life for the sake of another. This
is the true nature of love - the total self-giving and free
offering of one's life for the good of another. God the Father
showed the unfathomable depth of his love and mercy by
willingly offering his only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
as the atoning sacrifice for the sin of the world.
This is the power of love and glory that overcomes the world
- the triumphant cross of Christ which breaks the destructive
forces of sin, hatred, and division. And we share in the power
of Christ's victory by embracing the cross which the Lord
Jesus sets before each one of us. The cross of Christ sets us
free to live no longer for ourselves but for Christ and his
kingdom of peace, joy, and righteousness (moral goodness).
Our calling and privilege is to serve as Christ has served and
to love and he has loved. That is the way we share in the
glory of our heavenly Father who gave us his beloved Son
who laid down his life for each one of us.
We pray…."Lord Jesus, your love knows no bounds. Fill me
with the fire of your love and with the joy of your Holy Spirit
that I may freely give all that I have in service to you and to
my neighbour.” AMEN.
Thinking of Becoming Catholic?
Faith is the foundation of life. If you have ever thought about
Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, then becoming a
Catholic may be the next step. To assist you, Sacred Heart
Parish has the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
programme, which is designed to introduce you to the
Catholic Faith. The RCIA programme is lead by Deacon Roger
and his wife Jackie and they welcome all enquiries. For more
information contact the parish office tel: 01202411140.
There will be an introductory meeting held in the Padre Pio
th
room, 7:30pm-9:00pm on Monday 16 May.
St Anthony’s Poor
The parish food and clothing bank is now operational and is
actively assisting those who are most in need, both within
our parish community and society at-large. Parishioners and
friends of Sacred Heart Church are encouraged to continue
with your kind donations to St. Anthony’s poor. You can give
a non-perishable food item and place it in the green box next
to the sacristy door or by making a cash donation (gift aide
it) using the envelopes located next to the statue of St.
Anthony, or place cash in the wall-slot for the poor which is
again located next the statue of St. Anthony.
Parish Finance Information –
Gift Aid
Our subject this week is Gift Aid – or “Free money from the
Government.”
Our government recognises the importance of charities, of
which we are one, and Gift Aid, undertakes to pay us 25
pence for every £1 donated by Income Tax payers.
All that is required for us to claim this money is simple proof
that your donation has been made and has been made out
of taxed income.
THIS IS A SIMPLE 2-STEP PROCESS
Step 1 - Complete a Gift Aid Declaration – a simple form
asking for your Name and Address including your post code.
Without the post code our claim will be rejected.
Step 2. Decide How you will Donate – Bank Standing
Order or Cash
Bank Standing Order. Donation by Bank Standing Order is
an excellent example of planned giving. Most people decide
on monthly payments. You simply complete our Bank
Mandate and our Gift Aid Organizer will do the rest.
Cash in a numbered envelope. If you prefer to donate
through the envelope scheme you will receive a box of
numbered envelopes, each dated for one of the 52 Sundays
of the year. Why a numbered envelope? In order to
maintain the anonymity of each donor. The number is
specific to the particular donor. The Parish Gift Aid
Organizer knows the identity of the holder of each number
but he is bound by the Data Protection Act to keep that
information completely confidential
IMPORTANT FACTS
In recent months our average weekly collection by Gift Aid
envelopes has been about £360 bringing us an extra £90 per
week from the tax man – that’s £4,680 in a full year at no
additional cost to the parish or the donors. It really is free
money.
In the same period our weekly offertory in loose cash has
been about £700. On this we receive ZERO monies from the
tax man. If just half of our weekly loose cash collection were
to be Gift Aided it would add another £4,550 free money to
our parish income.
The question for all Income Tax payers should not be
whether or not to sign up for Gift Aid but whether to donate
by Bank Standing Order or by Numbered Envelopes.
There is only one snag with donating by standing order. It is
so simple and trouble free that you may be inclined to
forget about increasing the amount each year to keep up
with inflation. Many of our Standing Orders have not been
updated for Years!
Something for Standing Order donors to think about.
Gift Aid Declarations and Standing Order Mandates are
available to download from our web site or alternatively can
be found at the back of church. For more information please
contact the parish office.
