WORLD MISSION SUNDAY Today is World Mission Sunday and the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection for Missio, his official charity for overseas mission. Our prayers and donations today will support the work of missionaries and young churches as they share faith, build churches and provide healthcare and education, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances overseas. The World Mission Sunday collection will go in its entirety to support mission projects worldwide that bring God’s love and message of dignity for all. If you are a tax payer, please use the Gift Aid envelopes in the porch. Every gift makes a real difference to people living in poverty who are yearning to hear the Good News of God’s love for them.

NEW CHARITY - FATHER BONIFACE Since January this year, a small group of people here in Bedford has been working to set up a registered charity to support the work of Fr Boniface in Uganda. As of August, charitable status has been granted by the Charity Commissioners. This means that money given will be able to be Gift Aided and Trusts and Foundations can be approached to support the work. The new Charity is called Empowering Vulnerable Children (EVC) Uganda. A copy of the Charity’s first newsletter is on display on the noticeboard in both churches. PS. Fr Boniface has contracted malaria. Please pray for his recovery. Our Lady’s £217.95 Thank you.
