Liturgy of the Word
During these dark winter days, our God calls us here to witness the example set by Jesus. Gathered
as we are in the warmth and light of this building, what do we do to bring that warmth and light
outside with us? Let us pray that we move beyond our daily drudgery to mission, inspired by the
energy of Jesus.
There will be tea/coffee after Mass on Sunday - All welcome
THIS SUNDAY afternoon St Aloysius Church is open for Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary and Exposition. Why
not come along, even for just a few minutes and spend some time in quiet prayer, with our Lord Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament.
LENT Next Wednesday 18th February is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. We will have two Masses that day;
St Aloysius at 10.00am and St James at 7.15pm. Please make every effort to begin the season of Lent by
receiving the Ashes. It is also a day when we are called to Fasting and Abstinence or some other act of selfdenial.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS are held each Friday in St Aloysius at 7.00pm, and alternatively on Sundays
at one of the Churches. Could all groups please sign the list at the back of Church to lead the ‘way of the
cross’ on Friday evenings.
PRAYING WITH HOLY SCRIPTURE Each Thursday evening beginning the 19th February Fr Martin will
lead a half hour session, “how to pray with the Gospels.” Why not come along to the Day Chapel at
8.00pm and pray God’s word in a contemplative way.
CONFIRMATIONS Bishop Seamus will visit our Parish for Confirmations on 18th September 2015 at 7.00pm
in St Aloysius. Fr Martin invites any young person in Year 8 or above, who would like to prepare for the
Sacrament, to a meeting in St Aloysius Hall on Sunday 22nd February at 6.00pm. Parents are also
invited along to find out more about the Confirmation programme.
ST ALOYSIUS AND ST JAMES PARISH COUNCIL MEETING will be held on Tuesday 10th February at
7.45pm in St James’ Emmaus Room.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE SICK takes place on Wednesday 11th February. We will have an
evening Mass at 7.15pm at St Aloysius which will include the Sacrament of the Sick, holy anointing and
finishing with a torchlight procession. Refreshments in St Aloysius Hall afterwards.
LOURDES GROUP FUNDRAISING NIGHT at the Iona Club on Friday 13th February at 7.00pm. Tickets are £3

OUR FAITH TEACHES The desire for God is written in the human
heart, because man is created by God and for
God; and God never ceases to draw man to
himself. Only in God will he find the truth and
happiness he never stops searching for

REFLECTION Picture the prodigal son, slowly
plodding toward his Father’s house, full of hesitation
and doubt, not knowing that already his Father has
seen him and is running toward him.
Thank you Anne & Joe Hewitt would like to
thank everyone for their cards and kind wishes on
the occasion of their Golden Wedding
Anniversary. God Bless you all.
PRAYER Father, help us to recognise that you offer
all the truth and happiness that we are searching for.
Help us to find it in you.
