Lisieux, followed by an overnight stay in Chartres and then three

Baby Elémae and Baby Korey: A new hanging lamp for the
Sacred Heart Chapel has been gifted to OLW in loving memory of
these two infants and we offer our sincere thanks to the donor.

To have matching hanging lamps at the statues of Our Lady
of Grace and the St Joseph in OLW would cost approx. £600 each.
If you, your family, a group of parishioners, etc. would like to
sponsor these hanging lamps (including adding an engraved
dedication, e.g. In memory of…), please speak to Fr Christopher.

Thank you to all who contributed to last weekend’s Retiring
Collection which supports promoting the sanctity of life.

Jesus’ Sacred Heart

began to beat in Our Lady’s virginal
womb and was pierced by Longinus’ spear as the Saviour hung
upon the Holy Cross at Calvary: becoming for all people the true
and inexhaustible source of eternal life. Bishop Philip Egan

On Ss Peter and Paul’s Day (30th June) we shall have the annual
“Peter’s Pence” Collection to support the administrative and →
pastoral work of the Holy See; this practice began in England.

✝ Carlo Acutis

was born in
London on 3rd May 1991 and was
Baptised fifteen days later; the
Catechism teaches us that the
sanctifying grace received in this
sacrament perfects the soul to
enable it to act in love and finally
to live with God (# 2000). The
whole Acutis family returned
home to Milan in September
1991. Carlo’s parents had lapsed
from the Faith and rarely fulfiled
the obligation to participate in
the Sunday Mass. His mother
admits that: “I was not the ideal
model of a Catholic mother”. Carlo was a normal child, but his
faith was extraordinary; at the age of only five he consecrated
himself to Our Lady of Pompeii. Like any young person, Carlo had
his weaknesses and temptations; he was a joker who enjoyed
making his classmates and teachers laugh! His school reports
show he could be disruptive; yet, on realising this, he made every
effort to change. Carlo had a passion for playing video games,
including on his PlayStation; yet, he limited himself to doing so
for only one hour each week as a form of spiritual penance and
discipline. He liked sports, loved animals, enjoyed walks in the
Umbrian countryside, played the saxophone and had a sweet
tooth! Carlo was declared a Blessed in October 2020 and is likely
to be decreed a Saint in 2025. Blessed Carlo Acutis: Pray for us!

St Thomas Becket Festival:

Details of this celebration in our
Cathedral on 6th/7th July can be
found on the poster in the porch.

Relic of St Thomas Becket

will be on display between 6th and
8th July in OLW for veneration.
• 6th July: Procession of the relic
into OLW with Morning Prayer
at 9:00am. Mass at 9:30am.

relic and new icon of St Thomas.

St Thomas of Canterbury Prayer Slips will be attached to
the newsletter next weekend and on the back of which you can
write your own intention, e.g. healing for Angela, for James, etc.
The slip is then sealed in the envelope provided and is brought to
Mass on 6th/7th July where it is posted in the petitions box before
the relic and icon of St Thomas Becket; petition slips returned to
SJO will be brought to OLW. The petitions slips will not be read
but Holy Mass will be offered for all the intentions on 8th July.
St Thomas Becket Prayer Cards will be distributed before
Mass on 6th/7th July and will form part of the Intercessions.

As July is dedicated
to the Precious Blood
of Jesus, an image of
The Adoration of the
Mystic Lamb will be
temporarily added to
OLW and at which a
sponsored seven-day
candle will burn each day in prayer. In preparation for the feast
of Passover the Jewish people would select a spotless lamb from
among the yearlings, wash and anoint it and keep it separate for
three days before it was sacrificed; during this time, it was called:
the Lamb of God. Thus, when St John the Baptist cried out upon
seeing Jesus, “Behold! There is the Lamb of God!” (John 1:29) all
would have known that Jesus was the Messiah, the true Sacrificial
Lamb, who would take away the sins of the world. As we read in
Scripture: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain…” Apocalypse 5:12.
Precious Blood of Christ, poured out on the Holy Cross: Save us!

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
∙ Tuesday, 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. Please speak to
Fr Wayne for more details about these parish gatherings.

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