Dear Friends,

We would do well to reflect each in their own way to the theme of this week’s Gospel, where crowds were invited to the wedding feast but many had excuses ready as to why they would not come. We are invited from Baptism but we sometimes get sidetracked with our own interests. Do we live by the law of love i.e. God’s command to love and respect one another? Or we do make up our own rules? Love is the wedding garment.
 
Prayer cards for our soon to be Bishop, Stephen Wei-Jon Wang, who will be ordained at Arundel Cathedral on 19^th October. Entrance is by ticket only. So spare yourself the trouble looking for some please. Later, there will be a Mass at Worth Abbey and I understand the parish will get ten tickets for that. That’s all I know at present. Please take a prayer card from the porch table today.
 
Thanks to all who generously donate items to The Hope Hub week in and week out, or even occasionally. I was reliably told this week that the two most generous communities to this cause are Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church, Frimley and St John’s Church community at Hartley Wintney.
 
God Bless youall,

Fr John

St John the Baptist School Application for September 2027 Entry
Parents of children who will be in Year 6 from September and are applying for a place at St John the Baptist School, Woking will need to obtain from the parish a Certificate of Catholic Parish (CCP). By signing a CCP, the parish priest affirms that ‘this child and his/her family are known to me and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the child is from a practising Catholic family'. CCPs will be determinant for applications to SJB school for September 2027 intake. Application forms for a CCP can be obtained from the Parish Office or from Fr John. He will need to have evidence of the Catholic practice of the family if he is to sign the form.
