SICK AND RETIRED PRIESTS COLLECTION
We were due to take the annual collection for the Sick and Retired Priests Fund this weekend. We will await advice from the diocese on how it is to be rearranged. In the meantime, if you would like to, you can visit this website: www.rcdow.org.uk/donations
RCIA
We were hoping to give the date to begin the Zoom RCIA this week but have been delayed with all the procedures. Hopefully next weekend, we can publish a start date.
DAILY MOMENT OF PRAYER 6PM
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, our archbishop, has invited everyone to join in a daily moment of prayer at 6pm. This is not a liturgy or a broadcast, but something that each individual or family is called to share in personally. Please choose your own prayer or words at 6pm as we pray together during this difficult time of the pandemic, especially while we cannot come together for Mass in church.
TELEPHONE MESSAGE—020 8016 2207
We will resume the daily telephone message from church from Sunday onwards. Please call this number 020 8016 2207 if you are at home and would like to hear a message of news and spiritual input from church. We will try to update the message every day.

SPACE - maintain social distancing inside and outside church

CAROLS IN NEW SOUTHGATE
Each year, we normally gather at St Paul’s Church for our joint Festival of Lessons and Carols with our Anglican friends. This year, of course, it will not be possible to sing carols together in this way. However, all is not lost! We are working together with St Paul’s and intend to produce an online feature which will be available on YouTube from 13th December. It will feature readings, carols, prayers and input from our primary schools. More information in due course.
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION PROGRAMME 2021
Given the current situation and other complications that are arising at the present time, Fr David has reluctantly decided that the start of the new First Holy Communion programme should be delayed until January 2021. Families involved should receive an email or call from the parish in due course. Thank you to those who have sent back the forms - we will keep these on file and you won't be asked to re-register for January. Those who still have forms to be returned are asked to send them back as soon as possible. It is still our hope that next year's First Holy Communion Masses will be celebrated in May.
