HOLY HOUR
THIS AFTERNOON, 12th October, we will be having our
Holy Hour in the Cathedral from 5.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. As
a new feature of the Holy Hour, we encourage all
parishioners to place their prayers and petitions in the box
situated in the narthex, and at the Holy Hour itself we will
bring these prayers and petitions before the Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament.
Our Holy Hour will include silent
adoration, music and scripture readings. Please come
along and give some time in prayer to the Lord.
COFFEE after the 9.30 a.m. Mass today will be hosted by the Rainbows whilst
next Sunday will be the turn of the Scouts.
WE WELCOME INTO OUR PARISH COMMUNITY Angelina Li Ming Cheung
Tung, William Wang Ming Cheung Tung and Konnie Ava-Mai Appleton who will
be baptised in the Cathedral this weekend. Please remember the children and
their families especially in your prayers today.
CHORAL VESPERS will be sung in the Cathedral on Wednesday at 6.30 p.m.
(and every Wednesday in term time). Everyone most welcome.
SERVING AT THE ALTAR- AN INVITATION TO GIRLS AND BOYS: The
role of Altar Servers is of great value to our parish and is a commitment, not
only for the server but also for the family, because the Servers’ Rota covers all
Sunday Masses, and not necessarily the one you regularly attend. We therefore
invite all young people over the age of 9 years to consider this tremendous work
of service to our parish. If you would like further details, please contact Father
Martin, Father Mark or Eddie Wadsworth (222960), our Parish M.C. A six week
training course will start on Saturday mornings very soon.
ANNUAL PARISH MEETING takes place at 8.00 p.m. on Wednesday (15th)
in the parish hall. Please do make a special effort to come along as this
is your opportunity to review what has happened in the parish in the
past year and any plans for the future. This will be preceded by our usual
Parish Council Meeting so if there is anything concerning the life of the Cathedral
parish that you would like to be considered for discussion at this meeting, then
please send it in writing to the chair of the Parish Council, Dr Graham Hillman,
via Clergy House or to [email protected]
THANK YOU for the collection on the 5th October: £3,001.25 of which
£2,031.78 was gift aided. Holy Cross: £436.47 (Gift Aid: £236.98).
Presentation of the Gifts
“The Procession with the Gifts is a powerful expression of the
assembly’s participation in the Eucharist and in the social
mission of the Church….The Procession with the Gifts expresses
our eager willingness to enter into the “holy exchange” with
God: “accept the offerings you have given us, that we in turn
may receive the gift of yourself.” Celebrating the Mass, 180,
Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales
The procession with the gifts is a significant moment in our
celebration of Mass. It is not about transporting the bread and
wine from A to B. The procession with gifts is a sign of our
desire to give ourselves, life and work, to God. The people who
bring up the gifts process through the congregation, and bring
with them the lives of every member of the congregation to the
Eucharistic altar. If you are asked to present the gifts to the
priest, please agree to do so with a generous heart and a
willingness to participate in the liturgy. The ushers will explain
exactly what you have to do.
Bread and wine are “the work of human hands.”
They
symbolically represent all that sustains life (bread) and all that
brings us joy (wine). It is these elements that Jesus chose to
use and transform into His body and blood at the Last Supper,
so that our human lives could share in his divine life.
It’s important that those who bring up the gifts should have
made their First Holy Communion. Why? Because those who
bring up the gifts must be able to receive back those gifts in the
form of the Body and Blood of Christ. They are taking part in a
“holy exchange” and they represent the whole community in this
exchange.
“This humble and simple gesture is very significant: in the bread
and wine that we bring to the altar, all creation is taken up by
Christ the Redeemer to be transformed and presented to the
Father. In this way we also bring to the altar all the pain and
suffering of the world, in the certainty that everything has value
in God’s eyes. God invites us to participate in bringing to
fulfilment his handiwork, and in so doing, gives human labour its
authentic meaning, since, through the celebration of the
Eucharist, it is united to the redemptive sacrifice of Christ.” Pope
emeritus Benedict XVI on the Procession with Gifts
Saddle up for the annual race night, always a fun event for
the whole family. This year we will be running a couple of
special races for the kids - our jockeys. If you can’t attend
then we have races and horses that you can sponsor, see us
in the narthex after Mass. Tickets for the evening are £2.50
with the funds raised going to the Cathedral and Little
Havens Hospice. Bring your own drinks and snacks. For
more information call David on 07974 214843.
FAST DAY ENVELOPES ARE AVAILABLE in the narthex and at Holy Cross,
and we will take the collection for CAFOD Fast Day next weekend.
LUNCHTIME MUSIC: On Wednesday (15th) at 1.00 pm we welcome once
again Domenico Gioffre who will be giving the Lunchtime Organ Recital in the
Cathedral. His programme will include music by Bach, Messiaen and Max Reger.
Do pop in to the cathedral if you are free - you will be most welcome.
Admission free – retiring collection.
SILENT RETREAT at Sion Community from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th
October, when we will explore the journey of the people of God through the
desert and the lessons we can learn from them as we, ourselves, journey
towards God. This silent retreat is an opportunity to step out of our daily
routine and spend time with the Lord. Talks, Mass, prayer & quiet reflection
form part of the weekend. For more information, please call Allegra on 215011
or email [email protected] / [email protected]
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: The next session for the children and their
parents is on Saturday (18th) commencing with 9.15 a.m. Mass in the Cathedral.
