PRIESTS
Please pray for Fr Tom Blackburn who will take up his appointment here as our new assistant priest at the end of August. Please also pray for Fr Andrew as he prepares to receive a new appointment in due course.

MASSES
Fr Andrew began his summer break on Thursday, which means Fr David is on his own for the next two weeks. Weekday Masses this week and next will be at 10 am only.

PARISH OFFICE
The office will be closed this week on Tuesday and Wednesday.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the solemnity of the apostles Peter and Paul, patron saints of the city and the Church of Rome. Today at all Masses there will be a collection for Peter’s Pence which helps support the Pope’s outreach. We send you all good wishes!

FR DAVID WRITES
Please pray for Sean Power and James Boyle who were ordained deacons on Saturday morning at Westminster Cathedral. They are candidates for the priesthood. Please also pray for Monsignor James Curry who is to be ordained as  auxiliary bishop of Westminster this Tuesday, 12 noon at the cathedral. All are welcome to the episcopal ordination. Please remember that our special Mass at New Southgate Cemetery Chapel will take place next Saturday morning, 22nd June, beginning at 11 am. The prayers at Waterfall Road cemetery will follow at 12.30 pm. Finally, please sign up for our Afternoon Tea if you would like to.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Next weekend we will celebrate the solemnity of the apostles Peter and Paul (normally a holy day when it falls during the week). Thank you to everyone who came to our special Mass at the cemetery chapel and then the prayer service at Waterfall Road. Next Saturday at the cathedral the ordinations to the priesthood will take place. Please pray for Tom Blackburn, Domagoj Matokovic, and Robert Smialek who will receive their ordinations that day (the Mass begins at 10.30am at Westminster).

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the Tenth Sunday of the Year, as we return once more to the season of Ordinary Time following Easter and the big feasts we have celebrated over these last few weeks. Today (Sunday) we bid a fond farewell to Father Johnson and send him off with our prayers and affection. He tells me he is already looking forward to visiting us next year!  Fr Andrew is also away this week, so please be gentle with me! Finally, I have completed six years (two terms) as Dean of Enfield which I think is long enough, so I am very pleased to hand over to Fr Daniel Humphreys, Parish Priest of Enfield Town, as the new dean. We wish him well, and I thank him for taking the reins!
