23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is back in the House of Commons and seeks to legalise assisted suicide. It will have its Second Reading and vote this Friday 11^th September. The Church believes in the dignity and value of every human life and urges Catholics to unite in prayer and compassionate action. This deeply flawed Bill, if passed, could lead to vulnerable people feeling pressured to end their lives and risks putting many hospices and care homes in the position of no longer being able to operate. Please write to your MP to make your voice heard and oppose the Bill, even if you have done  so on a previous occasion.
 
Grandparents and Friends Pilgrimage on 12^th September
The 24-seater minibus for St Fidelis Friary to Canning Town, London will leave OLQH car park at 10am on 12^th September. Please bring a packed lunch. There is food and drink available at the Friary. The Abbot asks, if you do bring food to share it. We should return from our Franciscan day of prayer for 1815 hrs. Phil McDonnell
 
Children's Liturgy Restarts Sunday 13^th September, 10:30am Mass
We invite all children of the parish who are in primary school to take part in their own liturgy.  At the start of the 10.30am Mass, Fr John invites the children to go into the hall with the catechists to learn about the day's Gospel.  They will do an activity and then return back into the Church before Holy Communion.
 
Parish Pilgrimage to Walsingham from 7^th-9^th May 2027
Please call Phil McDonnell on 01276 684281 by 13^th September if you would like to go on the parish pilgrimage to Walsingham. The cost is £260 per adult, £130 per child. You will also need to  let Phil know how many people from your family will be joining it and whether you require a single, double, or family room.

God bless you all,

Fr John
