FR DAVID WRITES
After Lent, Eastertime, and many feasts, we now return to the season of ordinary time which will take us through the summer. Despite its name, there is nothing merely ‘ordinary’ about this time. In fact, the name itself comes from the ordinal numbers by which the Sundays are counted. Green vestments are used because the colour represents growth and maturity, which can happen in the heart just as it occurs in the growth of the natural world. Let us embrace this time of growth in our friendship with God and the many opportunities it represents. The Gospels and readings at Mass will be our guide! May God bless us all in the coming week.
‘THANK YOUS’
Many thanks to you all once again for all the many activities and events which have taken place recently. As well as being special occasions, they are also signs of faith, generosity and the liveliness of the parish. May God bless you all.
PETER’S PENCE
Last weekend we collected £962.95 for Peter’s Pence. This money will go towards the charitable works of the Holy Father. Thank you for your generosity

Next weekend, the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, is also known as Sea Sunday, when we pray for those who live and work at sea. The Apostleship of the Sea works with them and provides essential chaplaincy services. Next weekend there will be a retiring collection to help support their work.
