This octave of prayer is for the
spread of the Catholic Faith in
Europe. Chaplets beads, costing
£2, can be bought from Teresa
Bailey. On Friday, 11th July there
will be refreshments after the
chaplet and all are welcome!

Parish Visitation:

For his episcopal visitation, Bishop David will preside
and preach at each Sunday Mass on 19th & 20th July

London-born Carlo Acutis

will be declared a saint by Pope
Leo on Sunday, 7th September.
To celebrate this truly historic
occasion temporary shrines will
be added to both Churches and
petition slips made available so
that we can ask “St” Carlo to pray
for us and for our intentions.

The Knights of St Columba have arranged for the relics

of St Andrew, St Columba and St Margaret to visit

Our Lady of Walsingham Church between 14th and 16th
July. The purpose of the visit is to allow us to connect
with the spiritual legacy of these saints and to deepen
our Faith. There will be opportunities to venerate the
relics, to offer the Rosary at the relics and to invoke
the prayers of these saints through using petition slips;
further details will be in next weekend’s newsletter.
There will be a Reception of Relics Mass on Monday,
14th July at 6:30pm in Our Lady of Walsingham Church.

Travelling Home Shrine:

At the Vigil, 8:30am and 10am
Sunday Masses, new Our Lady of
Walsingham travelling home
shrines, will be blessed! Each
home shrine was made by former
Bedford parishioners of Fr Wayne
and include two Marian prayer
books and a bag. Wonderfully, a
rosary (made by Janet Northing,
using glass and gemstone beads)
hang on each side of the home
shrine; the hope is that the person hosting this will
invite a friend to pray the rosary with them. We ask
that after each of the above Masses one person takes
responsibility for having the shrine in their home and
will then directly offer it to other parishioners over the
coming weeks. The home shrines should be returned
to the sanctuary at the Sunday Masses on 2nd and 3rd
August. For more details, please contact to Fr Wayne.
