FR JEROME WRITES
What was it like sitting with the crowds on those Galilean Hills listening to Our Lord speaking and teaching the people gathered around Him. He teaches through Parables; using examples of everyday life to gain their understanding, speaking to the hearts of the people, giving them hope, raising them from their despondency, making a new creation. By using parables, which can be told and retold among the people of the Holy Land, His voice reaches many who cannot be present but who are brought to understanding through His stories.

FR JEROME WRITES
We had a lovely school Mass on Tuesday for children, staff and parents of Year six. We wish them all well in their new schools in September. Whichever schools they are moving onto we are all part of the Parish family and we welcome them back with their families in September.
For all those going on holiday I wish them a very safe journey and peaceful rest.

Thank you for your generosity towards Peter’s Pence last weekend. Today there will be retiring collection after all Masses for the Apostleship of the Sea. Please note that the First Holy Communion registration is open. Parents of children should sign up if the child will be in Y3 in September and they are part of this parish. Please note that we will not be able to accept late applications. Please continue to pray for Fr Jerome and Fr Andrew O’Connell as they prepare to begin their new appointments later this summer. Have a great week!

FR DAVID WRITES
Thank you to everyone who helped organise or support our Parish Summer BBQ. It was a great evening! This Tuesday at 10am we will welcome children from our school to the end-of-term and school leavers’ Mass. Please join us if you can. Current Y2 parents (Y3 September): please take note of the First Holy Communion notice below. Thank you also for your recent generosity towards three projects: our building fund, Peter’s Pence, and the Apostleship of the Sea last weekend. We are most grateful for everything you bring and give for the life of the Church. Finally, I am going on holiday this week and will be back in the middle of August. As some of you know, I have other responsibilities in addition to the parish, so I really value the break and the opportunity to spend time with family, but I still keep you in my prayers and Masses. I would like to thank you all for your kindness to me, and to wish you all a very happy summer: wherever and however you choose to spend it! God bless you all.

CLERGY MOVES - FR DAVID WRITES
As you know, Fr Jerome has been appointed Parish Priest of St John Vianney, West Green. Fr Jerome will take up his new appointment at the beginning of September, after the summer holidays. Fr Andrew O’Connell has been appointed to take over as assistant priest here. He will begin early by celebrating some of the Sunday Masses during the summer, before officially moving in at the start of September. So there will be some overlap of the curates while I am away on my summer break. I know you will make him very welcome. Please keep them both in your prayers as they prepare for their new appointments. Please pray for those who were ordained recently as deacons and priests to serve in our diocese.
