FR TOM WRITES
Rejoice! On the Fourth Sunday of Advent the Church prepares us to celebrate the momentous feast of Christmas by reminding us that God promised humankind  the gift of salvation, and this is why His Son was born of the Virgin Mary. With so many parties and joyous occasions filling these days, let us not miss the opportunity to receive Our Lord in a new way during this festive period. We are looking forward to seeing you all at Christmas and send you all every good wish and blessing.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today, the Third Sunday of Advent, is known as Gaudete Sunday and is a day of joy and rejoicing in the heart of the Advent season. Welcome and well done to all our children and their families who begin the First Holy Communion programme this weekend. Please keep them in your prayers. May God bless you this coming week.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the Second Sunday of Advent. In the Gospel we meet St John the Baptist who appeared in the wilderness preaching a message of repentance. John is the link between the hope of Israel and the dawn of Christ’s coming. His message also comes to us as we look for Christ’s presence and prepare to celebrate the mystery of his holy birth at Christmas. May God bless you all in this coming Advent week.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the beginning of the Advent season. During Advent, the liturgy invites us to prepare for Christ’s coming at the end of time, and also to prepare to celebrate the feast of his holy birth at Christmas. Let us ask the Lord to renew within us his gifts of faith, hope, joy and love. Please take an Advent sheet from the church porch.

TODAY: OUR CHRISTMAS MARKET
Please make a special effort to come into the hall today after all Masses for our Christmas Market event to support the parish and especially the work in the church. We have all kinds of fancy goods, gifts, cakes, a grand raffle, and so on. It promises to be a lovely weekend! Thank you to Janet and our volunteers for their time, energy and generosity.

NEXT WEEKEND: ADVENT
Next weekend is the First Sunday of Advent and the beginning of a new year in the Church’s calendar. We will begin Year C in the liturgical cycle, and we will also see the introduction of the new Lectionary for Mass. New Mass books will be available at the back of church for use at Mass.
