The First Millennial Saint: Blessed Carlo Acutis:

The fact that a millennial teenager is to become a saint is truly
wonderful news and it has caught the attention of the world’s
secular press. There is something
about the life of Carlo, a saint of our
times, that makes everyone excited.
For all those who felt heaven was out
of reach, Blessed Carlo has brought
great hope. Carlo was an ordinary
boy, but because he tried to live for
God, the Lord has raised him to the
heights of holiness. Blessed Carlo had
a simple “roadmap” to heaven that
each one of us can follow - 1: Mass.
2: Eucharistic Adoration. 3: Devotion
to Our Lady and the Saints. 4: Confession and Spiritual Guidance.
5: Acts of charity. Everyone deserves to know how they too can
spend eternity with the God who created them and loves them;
do tell other people about this soon-to-be-saint. Blessed Carlo
prayer cards are available at the back of the Church so that you,
your family and your friends can seek his heavenly intercession.
Carlo was born in London in 1991 and died in Milan in 2006; at his
request his body was transferred to Assisi in 2007. Carlo was
declared a Blessed in October 2020 and is likely to be decreed a
Saint during the 2025 Holy Year. You can watch a livestream of
Blessed Carlo’s tomb (and offer prayer) in Assisi’s Renunciation

St Thomas Becket Festival: See the poster in the porch for
details of this great celebration on 6th/7th July in the Cathedral.

The St Thomas Becket Relic will be available on 6th/7th July
for veneration to coincide with the Cathedral Festival; see above.

Missio (“Red Boxes”) & Mill Hill Missionaries

invite you to Mass in St Aiden’s Church, Northampton, at 12:00pm
on Saturday, 29th June! Refreshments follow. All are welcome.

Pope Francis has expressed his earnest desire

for the renewal of reparation to
Jesus’ Sacred Heart; let us do so
for the victims of abuse, sacrilege
toward the Eucharist and for
divisions within the Church? A
photograph of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus is available in the porch
for us to display at home as a way of seeking the Lord’s blessing.

Readers & Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

(and those interested in fulfilling these liturgical roles) will soon
be invited to attend an informal gathering on how to use the new
lectionary (book of Holy Scripture readings) and to explore best
practices on administering Holy Communion. Details to follow.

As Provincial Chaplain
Fr Christopher is today
in our Cathedral
celebrating Holy Mass
for the

Knights of St Columba

and the induction of
several new officers.
We give thanks to God
for the “charity, unity
and fraternity” offered
by this Catholic charity.

NB: Fr Christopher and Fr Wayne are away this week (albeit
both have work commitments on Monday, Thursday and Friday).

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