5th July, 2026

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 

Dear Friends,

We have a new Bishop! His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has appointed Fr Stephen Wang as the new Bishop of our diocese. Bishop-elect Stephen is currently Rector of the Venerable English College in Rome. The Mass of Episcopal Ordination and Installation are due to take place at Arundel Cathedral in the autumn. We congratulate Bishop-elect Stephen on his appointment. A recorded message from him to all parishes in our diocese is available to watch on our parish’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OLQHParish and at the top of the page on this website.
 
To be a priest, you are often approached as a problem solver or for advice beyond your competence. The easy thing to do is play along and listen to the issue. Sometimes it works but that is a guess, experience, or covering up for what you do not know. Today’s Gospel is a good example of this. “I thank you Father for hiding these things from the wise and understanding and revealing to mere children…Come to me, all who labour and are burdened and I will give you rest.” Have we seriously taken up this offer? Do we not veer towards thinking, ‘I should know the answer and am too embarrassed to admit I don’t?’ The conclusion to this way of thinking is: ‘I am too embarrassed to say “I don’t know.”’ How different the world would be if we could say regularly, “I believe. Lord, help my unbelief.” That is precisely why we are encouraged to pray morning and evening, even if it’s only the Our Father said slowly.
 
Your help is vital and all ages and all nationalities should try and volunteer. So this weekend we request more readers at Masses. A sheet to that end will be prepared. This will last for two weeks. Pray about it and if you can volunteer please. If you feel you can’t guarantee to be at Mass when your turn comes, have someone else that you can rely on please.
 
Please take a copy of The Catholic Post, which presents Pope Leo’s thoughts on artificial intelligence (AI), which will only grow more influential in what we hear and see.

God Bless You *|FNAME|*,
Fr John

Grounds Care and Maintenance on Saturday 11th July
We warmly welcome everyone in the parish community to help out at OLQH on Saturday 11^th July from 9am to Noon. We will continue with the shed upgrades and moving over all our grounds care equipment. We have painting to do and hedges near the parish hall kitchen and metal boundary fence to cut, grass cutting and general weeding. We would be most grateful for your support.  Not only is it keeping the grounds tidy but it’s aimed at giving parishioners the opportunity to make new friends and give a real sense of community spirit. We have tools for most tasks but please bring gloves. Up until Christmas, here are the set dates for these community grounds care events: 15^th August, 12^th  September, 17^th October, 14^th November, 5^th December. Many thanks.

The charity Friends of the Holy Land are looking for volunteer ambassadors.
Please see the advert on the table in the Church porch for more information about this role.
