Thank you to everyone who recently supported the Bishop’s

“Pro Populo”

• it is a canonical necessity that Mass be
  offered for the parish or parishes every Holy Day of Obligation.

Let us pray for:

• → All our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters.
• All people to come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ and
be brought into the family of His Holy Catholic Church.
• An increase in vocations to the Sacred Priesthood and
Religious Life (and especially within our own Diocese).
• The peoples of Israel, Gaza and Ukraine.
• The sick and for all the faithful departed in Christ Jesus.
• The poor and disadvantaged on this “World Day of The
Poor” (19th November); the theme of which is “Do not turn
your face away from anyone who is poor” - Tobit 4:7.

The Giving Trees

will be up in OLW on the last weekend
of November and the first weekend of December. Please take

Basics” and the other for those in need - and buy a present for

“The Church in the British Isles will only begin to grow when

November

is the time when we specifically pray for our
departed loved ones and for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory as
we aid them in their journey to be with God. If you write the
names of your deceased loved ones and place this list in the
remembrance box, Mass will be celebrated for them during
November and prayers offered for them at Mass each day.

On Tuesday, 21st November at 11:30am in Northampton
Cathedral, Bishop David will offer Mass for deceased clergy
of our diocese; all are invited to the Mass and refreshments.

→ Red Wednesday : On Wednesday, 22nd November
and throughout the Autumn you are invited to join ‘Aid to the
Church in Need’ (ACN) in praying and taking action to help
countless Christians in Africa who are suffering violence for
their loyalty to Jesus Christ. There is more information here:

Advent Retreat

An online will take place each Monday
from 27th November between 7:30pm and 8:30pm. The theme
of which is “Let the Wilderness Bloom!” Join Canon John Udris
and Avril Baigent as they draw on the life of St John the Baptist
to explore: silence, solitude, dryness, vulnerability, resilience,
promise and hope. You can join live or access the recording.
Register here: https://pastoralministryoffice.org/bloom/

‘Walk with Me’ booklets:

These are a great resource
as we journey through the wonderful season of Advent; they
are available at the back of the church and cost £1.

From the Diocese: “Thriving or Closing?”

Will my parish be here in 10 years’ time? Do you think it’s time
to look seriously at the reality of declining Mass attendance?
The positive news is that parishes can come alive if they live
their missionary identity by making new disciples. Join Bishop
David and Fr James Mallon on Thursday, 7th December for this
great online event: “Where is your parish going?” See here for
details: https://divinerenovation.tfaforms.net/f/CPSDecember

At Mass we do not remember the events of Jesus’ life but
rather make them present. At Mass we are participants and
not spectators in the sacrificial offering of Jesus to the Father.
Therefore, through what we sing, say and do (such as striking
our chest during the Confiteor or bowing during the Creed)
we truly partake in the sacred action of “making present”
upon the consecrated Altar the great events of our salvation.

With every blessing this Ordinary Time,

Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne
