Pope Francis sends warm greetings to all the participants in
today’s Day for Life celebrations. There is a Retiring Collection
today to support the vital work of promoting the sanctity of life.

Christ Himself is our “daily bread” that we devoutly receive
at Mass; likewise, the Holy Scriptures proclaimed at Mass and the
hymns that we sing at Mass are our “daily bread”. St Augustine

Blessed Carlo Acutis - The First Millennial Saint:

In five simple practices, that anyone can
all adopt, Blessed Carlo had a “roadmap”
to heaven - 1: Holy Mass. 2: Eucharistic
Adoration. 3: Devotion to Our Lady and
the Saints. 4: Confession and Spiritual
Guidance. 5: Acts of charity. These five
practices led Carlo to a life of intimacy
with Jesus and love for his neighbour; he
is thus a reminder to us that authentic
holiness is possible at any age. Indeed,
Pope Benedict XVI challenged young
people to be “glowing saints, in whose eyes and hearts the love
of Christ beams”. The call to sanctity in this life comes to us from
Jesus Himself who said: “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is
perfect” (Mt 5:48). Through the great Paschal Mystery - Jesus’
suffering, death, Resurrection and Ascension - offers us the grace,
by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the Sacraments, to truly
become perfect; thus, when we fail, as we all do, we return to the
Sacrament of Mercy: Confession. In his final days, Carlo said: “I
am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a
minute on those things which do not praise God.” What a truly
extraordinary witness to Christ he is! Blessed Carlo: Pray for us.

Missio (“Red Boxes”) & Mill Hill Missionaries

invite you to Mass at midday in St Aiden’s Church, Northampton,
on Saturday, 29th June! The Mass will be celebrated by Fr Daniel
Rooke, the new Missio Diocesan Director. For information about
Missio, speak to Fr Wayne (the former Missio Diocesan Director).

St Thomas Becket Festival 2024:

Details of this celebration on 6th/7th July
in our Cathedral can be found on the
poster and in a letter from Bishop David
in the newsletter section of our website.

The Relic of St Thomas Becket

will be available from 6th to 8th July for
veneration to coincide with the Festival
in the Cathedral. This will be solemnly
brought into OLW on 6th July at 9:00am
and this will be followed by devotions
and Holy Mass at 9:30am. All welcome!

Pope Francis has expressed his earnest desire

for the renewal of true reparation to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus; let us do so for all
clerical abuse victims, sacrilegious acts
toward Christ in the Holy Eucharist and
for divisions within the Catholic Church.
A photograph of the Most Sacred Heart
of Jesus is in the porch for us to display at
home in order to seek the Lord’s blessing
upon where we live. O Most Sacred

Heart of Jesus: Have mercy on us!

A National Eucharistic Congress is being celebrated at Oscott:
St Mary’s College on Saturday, 14th September to commemorate
the first Eucharistic Procession which took place in England since
the Reformation; it is also a part of the national preparations for
the 2025 Jubilee Year. The hope is that every Catholic in England
and Wales will deepen their understanding of the real presence
of Jesus in the Eucharist. The celebrations at Oscott will include
Angelus & Holy Mass, Eucharistic Procession with Benediction of
the Most Blessed Sacrament, Holy Rosary Walk, Pilgrimage Walk,
a keynote address, plus activities such as a presentation about
Blessed Carlo Acutis, visits to the museum, etc. A very limited
number of tickets are available and these will be allocated on a
“first come, first served” basis; if you are interested in attending
the National Eucharistic Congress please contact Fr Christopher.
In order that every Catholic can be a part of the 53rd International
Eucharistic Congress and this National Eucharistic Congress, the
Bishops request that all parishes hold a Holy Hour on Sunday, 15th
September; for us this will take place in SJO Church at 3:45pm.

All Readers and Extra-Ordinary Ministers of Holy

Communion, and those interested in fulfilling either role,
are encouraged to attend one of the following gatherings:
∙ Friday, 13th September at SJO from 10:30am to 12:00noon
∙ Saturday, 14th September at OLW from 11:00am to 12:30pm
∙ Monday, 16th September at OLW from 7:00pm to 8:30pm
∙ Monday, 17th September at SJO from 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Each gathering will help Readers to use the new lectionary
and will refresh our understanding of the sacred duties of an

Extra-Ordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Sacrifice of the
Mass and the Sacred Scriptures is very welcome to attend.

With every blessing in this month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne

Heart of Jesus in OLW Church burns in prayer for:
