FR GABRIELE BRUSCO:
As we say a fond farewell to Fr John this weekend we will be welcoming Fr. Gabriele, our new assistant priest, to the Parish next weekend (pictured).

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION 2018:
Parents who have completed an application form are asked to sign up for an appointment to meet the Priest and Catechist. The list is available in the Paper Shop today for the appointments which will be on  Monday 25th September.

22ND SOUTHGATE SCOUT GROUP:
Monday, 11th September, is our Scout Group’s AGM, taking place in the church from 6 -7pm, followed by refreshments in the Hall.  
It’s also a great time to celebrate our successes, present some awards and say ‘thank you’ to some of the people who have contributed so much.  We’ve had a great year.
Come along and hear the stories, see the pictures and find out more about what’s in the pipeline.  Please bring your Beavers, Cubs and Scouts in their uniform.

FAIR TRADE:
Oh no! Not Christmas cards already on this week's Fair Trade stall? Well, there are the all year items as well.  See you in the Hall at the usual times today!!

SECOND COLLECTION:
There will be a collection after all Masses next weekend for Catholic Communications, Home Mission and the Catholic Youth Service.

COUNTING TEAMS:
Current volunteer Counters please collect a new rota from the Papershop today.  There has been a change in the rota from next Sunday as we are temporarily one team short.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support.

COUNTERS:
We are looking for new volunteers to count on a Sunday afternoon.  You will be part of a group which counts approximately every five weeks.  Please let the Parish Office know if you are interested.

PAPER SHOP VOLUNTEERS:
We are looking for volunteers to help in our shop on Saturday evenings and Sundays at Mass times.

SUNIL HINDUJA RIP:
The Requiem Mass is on Friday 15th September at 10 am.

FR JOHN:
“As I retire this weekend I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone in the Parish who have made me feel so welcome over the past year.  I wish you all every blessing for the future.”

MARIA ZAZZI RIP:
The Requiem Mass will take place on Monday 11th September at 10 am.

SUNDAY MORNING COFFEES:
We are looking for people to help with the Sunday coffees.  If you would like to know more please call or email the Office with your details.  Thank you.

CHILDREN AT MASS:
Parents are asked not to allow their children to run around the church during Mass. This is a Health and Safety concern and very disruptive to Parishioners and the Priests.  You are welcome to take your children into the Porch area where you will still be able to follow the Mass.  Thank you for you co-operation.
