Today is Pentecost Sunday, a feast which celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the Church and which also marks the end of the Easter season. However, Pentecost is not about endings but beginnings. Please pray for the Church and for our parish, they we may be emboldened to continue the mission of the Christian life all the way to the end. Today at the 11.15 Mass we give thanks to God the gift of our recent First Holy Communions and send forth these young people to live the life of the Holy Spirit. Happy Pentecost!

Many congratulations to our young people who received their Confirmations on Friday. Thank you to everyone who helped them to this day, and to those who helped to prepare or celebrate the Mass, including Bishop John for presiding. Next weekend is Pentecost - the culmination of the Easter season and a day which marks the beginning of the age of the Church.

Well done to our children who celebrated First Confession last weekend, and many thanks to their parents, families and our catechists. This coming Saturday is First Holy Communion day: Masses at 11 am and 2 pm. Please pray for the candidates. It is always such a lovely day in the life of the parish. Thank you for your generosity towards the Priest Training Fund last weekend. There are some copies of the new Allen Hall Seminary News magazine available in the church porch—but there are not many, apologies! Have a wonderful week and may God bless you all.

Today, the Fourth Sunday of Easter, is Good Shepherd Sunday and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood. Please pray for Ashley, our own seminarian, who is currently completing his second year of formation (his first in Chelsea, as he was in Spain last year). Please also pray for more vocations in the diocese. Please also pray for our young candidates for First Holy Communion who made their First Confessions here yesterday (Saturday morning) and for their families. God bless you all.
