Here is the First Holy Communion Programme Pack for 2010. This is an important stage in our childrens' faith journey and together we will hopefully make it a fulfilling experience for them.
If you wish your child to be baptised before June 2010 please register for the three evenings for Baptism Preparation beginning Thursday 28 January at 7.30 pm in the Parish Hall. Please see the leaflet and registration form, and for any further questions please contact Pollie Milligan Tel: 471386 or email: polliem@talktalk.net We look forward to welcoming you.
The prayer group meets this Friday 11 February at 7.30 p.m. in church. If you would like to join in prayer and find out more of the beauty and power of this devotion please come along.
Each year, 11 February on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is world day of prayer for the sick and those who care for them. The Sacrament of the Sick is not just for those who are in danger of death, but for all who are suffering from illness or old age. It is a strengthening sacrament, to allow the person to bear their sufferings, and one which can bring healing if the Lord sees it as opportune. This being the case, Fr Joe will administer the Sacrament of the Sick at 9.30 am Mass next Sunday to anyone who feels they would benefit from it. No one will ask why you are coming forward, that is between you and God.
Events for those between 16 – 30 years of age: 1)Diocesan Pilgrimage to Taize 17 – 26 July 2010, for details see poster in the porch. 2)World Youth Day Madrid August 2011, If you would like to find out more about this Diocesan Pilgrimage then go to the information session at St John’s School in Trowbridge from 6.30pm till 8.00 pm on Thursday 4 February.
