institutions and never considered of lesser importance.

The Celebration of Holy Mass on Mondays

With the benefit of three Priests in our parishes: from Monday,
11th September the Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated at
9:30am each Monday at Our Lady of Walsingham Church.

Thank You

The congregation at Jim Reilly’s Funeral Mass raised £400 with
£200 going to St Vincent de Paul (SVP) Corby and £200 going to
Mary’s Meals. Sincerest thanks from Jim’s family.

The Prayer to St Michael the Archangel

(see below) is now a staple of liturgies in
many parishes across the world either
as part of the Holy Rosary and/or often
recited after the conclusion of the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This prayer,
invoking the assistance of the Archangel
Michael, has been offered by the clergy
and laity since AD 1886 (composed as it
was by Pope St Leo XIII), but its popularity declined following
the Second Vatican Council (October 1962 to December 1965).
However, renewed interest in the prayer developed in the
autumn of AD 2018 in the wake of concerns about unity within
the Catholic Church and new revelations of sexual abuse of
minors and adolescents by clergy and others. In October of
that year, Pope Francis invoked the prayer and suggested it be
recited by all the faithful. The Holy Father has not been shy in
citing the devil as a cause of evil and disunity: “[The church
must be] saved from the attacks of the malign one, the great
accuser and at the same time be made ever more aware of its
guilt, its mistakes, and abuses committed in the present and
the past” (29th September AD 2018). The prayer was also
endorsed by Pope St John Paul II in a 1994 Angelus address as
he reflected on threats toward the unborn.
Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of
battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of
God, thrust down into hell satan, and all evil spirits, who
wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen

Children’s Liturgy of the Word Returns

After the summer break Children’s Liturgy of the Word once
again takes place during the 10:00am Sunday Mass. Children
in Reception and Years 1 & 2 are invited to come forward at
the beginning of Mass; they hear the Sacred Scriptures and
reflect on them through an activity and return at the Offertory.

Blessing with a Relic of the Holy Cross

This short liturgy will take place shortly after Mass on Holy
Cross Day (14th September) and all are welcome to participate.

Parish Solemnity 2023

The celebration of our Parish
Solemnity of Our Lady of
Walsingham on Sunday, 24th
September will provide us with a
wonderful opportunity to truly
honour our Blessed Lady, in this
her Dowry of England, and to
share in worship and friendship
with each other. As our Parish of
Our Lady Walsingham rejoices
on that day so too will the
community at St John Ogilvie
Church as we delight in being
one Christian family. We hope
our brothers and sisters in St
Brendan and St Patrick parishes
will also join us in prayer as we
seek Mary’s loving intercession.
We will spiritually prepare for our Patronal Solemnity with nine
consecutive days of prayer as we offer the Novena of Our Lady
of Walsingham and invoke the prayers of St John Ogilvie.
Our Lady of Walsingham: Pray for us.
St John Ogilvie: Pray for us.

Mass for Married Couples

The annual Mass for Married Couples will take place on
Saturday, 30th September at midday in our Cathedral Church in
Northampton. Bishop David will preside at Holy Mass and
offer his pastoral blessing to those couples celebrating
significant milestones in their marriage: i.e., 1, 10, 20, 25, 30,
40, 50 years, etc. If you or someone you know is celebrating
such a milestone, please contact Sam: 07824386804 or email
mfl@northamptondiocese.org. All are welcome to participate
in the Mass and to enjoy the refreshments which follow.

Sacramental Programmes for AD 2023-2024

In the next couple of weeks we hope to finalise the details of
the First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion Programmes
for Children in Year 3 and above as well as the Sacrement of
Confirmation Programme for children in Year 6 and above.
Please keep an eye on the newsletter for further information.

Clergy Rest Days

Catholic Clergy traditionally take one day off a week: Fr Prasad
has Monday as his rest day whilst Fr Christopher and Fr Wayne
have Wednesday: ensuring there is always a Priest available.

Second Collection Next Weekend

Home Mission Sunday: This is a day of prayer for the spread of
the Gospel in England and Wales. A collection is requested for
the work of the Catholic Agency to Support Evangelisation.

Annual Parish Statistics – A “heads up”

Over the next four weekends we will be counting the number
of people at each Sunday Mass and this forms part of our
annual submission of statistics to the Diocese.

With every blessing this Ordinary Time,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne
