Accepting the Pope's invitation: A group met on Monday to begin the journey through
Evangelii Gaudium. We share brief summary of our discussion, available at the back of
church, for those who wish to think more of how we as individuals and as Church can be
'enthusiastic evangelisers'. A more detailed account is on the St. Helen's website.
All welcome to join us on Monday 2nd March for the next chapter: moving out of our
comfort zone to evangelise 'the world'. parish centre, 7:30 p.m
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Fr John Seddon,
who passed away on Friday 27th February 2015.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him,
may he rest in peace.
Amen.

with an evening Mass at 7.00 pm on Thursday 5th March, and a Requiem Mass at

EASTER CARDS TO THE HOLY LAND, 2015
Your Justice & Peace Group will shortly be inviting you to send a card (or maybe more than
one) to a Christian parish in the Holy Land. You may well be aware of the growing pressure
Christians in the area are under, and our support means a great deal to them; some parishes
have displayed the cards in their churches. We are launching this a little earlier this year so
that they should arrive in good time for Easter, but as usual we ask you to return them to
church so that they can be sent to the Latin Patriarch in Jerusalem for redistribution. Please
take a copy of the Arabic greeting to include in your envelope and include your contact
details if you'd like to. There will be a box at the back of church for the cards. (if you want
to leave a small contribution towards the postage, that would be welcome too.) Thank you.
