CAR PARK: IMPORTANT
The car park will close today (Sunday) and remain closed until the repair works are complete. It is vital that all vehicles are removed today so that the car park is empty for the work to begin. Thank you for you cooperation. 

OCTOBER - MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY
October is the month of the Holy Rosary. Please join us in church every weekday morning (Monday to Friday) at 9.30am to pray the mysteries of the Rosary.

THIS THURSDAY
Masses are at 10 am and 12 noon this Thursday (there will be no 8 am Mass).

FR DAVID WRITES
Today there is a pastoral letter from the Cardinal to mark the 175th anniversary of the foundation of the Archdiocese of Westminster and the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy in England and Wales in 1850. On 29th September 1850, Bl. Pope Pius IX, issued the papal bull Univerisalis Ecclesiae establishing 13 new dioceses in England and Wales (the old dioceses had been lost due to the English reformation). Among them, the senior diocese was named as Westminster. Happy Birthday, then, to the diocese and to all the faithful, clergy and religious in our diocesan family. There is also a short historical reflection written by Fr Nicholas Schofield available.

FR DAVID WRITES
I hope that everyone had a good start to the new term at school or college this week. Welcome back if you have returned recently from your summer holidays. Last week, we welcomed back the 11.15am Music Group, and today the Choir returns to the 9.45am Mass. Thank you singers and musicians for your contribution to the liturgy.

FR TOM WRITES
At the heart of our readings this week is humility; the soil in which Christian virtue grows. Humility is not weakness or self-abasement but recognising all that we are comes from God. To humble oneself is to acknowledge our dependence on God, to see the dignity of those around us, and to serve without grasping for recognition. Let us pray for humble hearts, so Christ may increase in us and joyfully live for God and for those around us.

BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY
Tomorrow (Monday) is the August Bank Holiday. Mass will be at 10 am. Please note that the parish office and the parish centre will be closed all day on Monday. 

ASSUMPTION 
The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day, is on Friday. Masses here will be celebrated at 8 am, 10 am, and 7 pm. The car park will be open for all Masses.
