PENTECOST SUNDAY

Mass Book Page 26
Dear Parishioners,
This week’s Newsletter will cover for two weeks. 136 of the Parishioners will be in
Lourdes and we also have half term, so it seems sensible to have the Newsletter
covering the next fortnight. You may wish to keep a copy for next week as well.
Father Andrew will be in Lourdes this weekend and I will join the group on Monday.
If you have any remaining petitions for the Shrine at Lourdes then let me have them
this weekend, as I am going early Monday morning. We will pray for all our
Parishioners and ask that you pray for us on our travels. Father Michael Stack will
cover the weekday Masses, Monday to Friday. Please note, no Wednesday morning
Mass at St Augustine’s. Deacon Joe Patterson will stay in the Presbytery and Deacons
Tony and Pat will be also covering, so things should run as normal over the half term.
We hope you have a chance for a bit of break and I am sure a few days will be welcome
by all those involved in our schools.
Thanks for your great generosity towards the Nepal collection. Your contributions
added up to £5,000. We will match this with the same amount from the Parish
reserves and we will send off a cheque next week for £10,000 to the CAFOD Nepal
Appeal.
This weekend at St Augustine’s, we have an International Mass to reflect the theme of
Pentecost. We will also have some Bidding Prayers read in different languages at
some of the Masses at Christ the King and hope to develop the International nature of
the Parish over the next few years with various Masses and events.
The Parish Report is now available and I hope that you have found it interesting. It is
a summary version of the report which is eight pages long. It will make for easier
reading and we will only produce the full report every five years. The report will also
be a good way of us understanding our Parish life and some of our financial
responsibilities for the Parish and the wider Diocese. I will take the opportunity to
speak about the Parish life and finances after our return from Lourdes.
The Walking Club will meet on Sunday at 3.00pm on the Car Park. All welcome.
We had a meeting last week to review our list of Sick and housebound. Please let us
know as soon as possible if there are any people who need communion at home or
who would appreciate a regular visit, so that they can be added to the list. There are
over 100 people now being visited on a regular basis and I am very grateful to our
Deacons and Ministers who do the majority of this work and for the work of the
Pastoral Prayer Group, the SVP and Legion of Mary. I will be speaking with all of our
Ministers over the next few weeks to ensure that the list is accurate and to follow up
contact details etc. There will be a meeting for all Pastoral Carers on Wednesday 24th
June at 7.00pm in the Library. All carers welcome.

and Rev Joe Patterson.
Thanks to Michael Goan and Alan Ledwidge for the work at St
Augustine’s Church. The work is now complete and the Church has
been much improved. The Sports Centre is nearing completion
and they will have an official Open Day in June sponsored by many
of the donors and grant making bodies. Details to follow.
After Half Term we are starting to plan the end of summer Family
Camp. We hope to return to Packington this year and are finalizing
details with the Scout Group. The Camp will be the last weekend
of the school summer holidays from Friday, 28th August to Sunday
30th August. Information leaflets and booking forms will be
available next month.
As part of our plans for St Augustine’s, we begin our Monday
evening Mass on Monday 1st June at 7pm. We hope this is helpful
to that end of the Parish and also people at work during the day
who may like a weekday Mass. The Friday evening Mass is popular
with workers and I am sure the Monday Mass will be well
supported.
God bless.
This week we pray for
Ann Farrell
May she rest in peace.
We pray for those preparing for Baptism.
Joshua Gough and Ava-Louise Irena Pasik
Jessie Jendra
We pray for those preparing for Marriage.
