Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvellous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know … It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!
St Pius of Pietrelcina (1887 – 1968)
The Way Prayer Group will resume in the Lady Chapel on Monday evenings starting from Monday, 7th September starting at 7:30pm until 9pm. After many weeks running the meeting online we are very excited to be coming back to our home! Please come along and join in for Holy Spirit led, scripture, prayers, healing and music every Monday at 7:30pm.
We will be carefully following safety advice, so bring a face-mask (unless your health situation prevents it) for a socially distanced, pandemic friendly prayer meeting!
For questions please contact stuartpburman@gmail.com.
The Way Prayer group is now paused for the Summer. We will recommence either later in August or at least by the 7th September. Please pray for the group and our intentions over the Summer break. Our aim is to restart in the usual place (the Lady Chapel at St Mary of the Angels) starting at 7:30pm – God willing!
Thanks for your continued prayers and support. In the meantime if you’d like to contact the group call Stuart on 07557 380009 or email stuartpburman@gmail.com.
Fr Terry is hosting a (socially distanced) Garden Party to raise funds for CARING FOR THE ANIMALS TRUST (CARAT) on Saturday 8th August from 1.00pm at the Presbytery.
Cakes, teas, Pimms, raffle etc. Gifts of cakes (especially vegan ones!) would be very welcome. All are invited! Do come (but kindly let Fr Terry know by email).
It’s truly great news that are now permitted to open the church again for Sunday and weekday Masses. Remember, if you are shielding, self-isolating or concerned about public places, please do
stay at home and be safe! However, if you intend to come to Mass, please:
The Sunday Obligation remains suspended, so there is no sin in not attending Sunday Mass. Please, therefore, think about spreading out your Mass attendance to allow the largest number of people to be accommodated within the social distancing arrangements.
You are, of course, free to bring these to Mass and use them if you feel it is safer. Each person will be respected for the decisions that they make in this matter. However, it would
not be appropriate to receive Holy Communion while wearing gloves.
When you come to Mass, kindly bring, if you are able, some packets of anti-bacterial wet wipes, to assist with supplies for sanitising the church.
Thank you all so much for your kindness, hospitality and prayers during this month of pastoral experience at St Mary of the Angels. It has certainly been fruitful as well as highly enjoyable. You will all be in my prayers and do continue to pray for me, the seminarians of our diocese, and for many more vocations. God bless, Gary Carter.
Good friends find pleasure in one another’s company. Let us know pleasure in the company of our best friend, a friend who can do everything for us, a friend who loves us beyond measure. Here in the Blessed Sacrament we can talk to him straight from the heart. We can open our souls to him, tell him what we need, beg him for powerful graces. We are perfectly free to approach the King of the universe with full confidence and without fear.
St Alphonsus Ligouri, 1696-1787
