Thank you: Sister Philomena Benedict, OP and Father
Richard Ounsworth, OP send their appreciation for the
joy-filled welcome that was extended to them on their
visit to our joint parishes for the Dominican Marian
Retreat Day; wonderful photographs from this can be
seen on the Northampton Diocese “Flickr” pages!

Day for Life: The Church teaches that all life is to be
treasured from conception to natural death. This day
(15th June) will be of encouragement to parishioners
who are praying the Spiritual Adoption Novena for
babies in the womb. There will be a Second Collection.

Today’s Second Collection is for the work of the
Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales as
it fulfils Jesus’ command to preach the Good News of
Jesus through its various websites, publications, social
media channels and in building positive relationships
with all media outlets (both religious and secular).

Sacrament of Confirmation:

Please pray for Bishop David as he visits our united
parishes on Saturday, 14th June to celebrate, for our
young people, the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please
also pray that those who receive this final Sacrament
of Initiation will be passionate in their living out of the
Catholic Faith and be with us at Mass every Sunday.
