Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

Welcome to all parishioners and visitors to mass this weekend. I would ask you all to pray for our Bishop Elect, Stephen.
 
PRAYER FOR OUR BISHOP ELECT

“O God, eternal and loving Shepherd,
We bless and thank you for the appointment of your servant, Stephen,
To our Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.
May your Holy Spirit grace him with a spirit of counsel and fortitude,
a spirit of knowledge and piety,
so that he may gently and courageously sanctify, teach and govern
the Church of Arundel and Brighton as we work together to build up the kingdom of heaven.
May he be a shepherd after your own heart,
Who, with compassion and wise discernment, will care for,
And lead your people with the joy of the Gospel,
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.”

• The Catholic Children’s Society have written to thank all parishioners who donated to the collection for them. They said that your kindness will bring comfort and hope to families facing real hardship.
•  There is a new edition of The Catholic Post in the porch. It is free.

 
God Bell You *|FNAME|*
