Relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis

20/3/2021

First Class Relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis We have been very privileged to receive a relic of Blessed Carlo’s hair for veneration in the parish. This was only made possible by Mgr Anthony Figueiredo who was kindly able to bring it from the Bishop of Assisi whilst visiting his mother in England. Fr Mark was then able to shoot down to Watford on Friday to pick it up for the parish. Considering all the travel restrictions and the fact that Italy has now gone into lockdown, we have been very blessed that this precious relic was able to get to us safely. Close veneration of relics is not allowed under the present Covid restrictions, but the relic will be on display on the altar for the live-stream Mass this Sunday and as soon as the restrictions are relaxed, we will be preparing a special event for public veneration.  This will enable us to spread the devotion to Blessed Carlo across the country.
Picture
I have housed the relic of Blessed Carlo in the Olive Wood Monstrance of the Tau of St Francis. In Assisi you will see the Tau everywhere as it was the beloved version of the Cross used by St Francis. As Blessed Carlo had such a devotion to St Francis, and his own tomb now lies in the old Cathedral of Assisi, it is fitting that our relic of Blessed Carlo  be housed in the centre of the Tau Cross. 

This week's bulletin is now ready to download. Please note that we have changed the layout of the website so that if you go to the ONLINE ACTIVITIES AND BULLETIN you can more easily access all the online events and also find the bulletin, all on the same webpage.

All of our Services and Masses can also be found on the WATCH LIVE page.

Bulletin for Sunday 14th March 2021

13/3/2021

 
After the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 587 BC we hear the command to rebuild the temple in our First Reading from Chronicles at Mass this weekend. This was begun around 521BC and went through various enlargements and modifications before being finished by Herod the Great in the time of Jesus.  This was then destroyed by the Roman Emperor Titus in 70 AD.
The bulletin is now ready to download from the Mass Times and Bulletin page and don't forget to check all the online events on the Online Events and Services page.

Bulletin for Sunday 7th March 2021

6/3/2021

 
This week in our first reading we hear of the giving of the Ten Words or Commandments. These were the great gifts given to God's people because by living them they would discover freedom and life.

If we follow these Ten Words, we learn the right priorities for life: God, other people and then possessions. When these priorities are reversed, society becomes dysfunctional.

The bulletin is now ready to download from the Mass Times and Bulletin Page. For all online activities, go to the Online Services page. Here you can find all the activities and services going on in the parish and you can click directly to these events without having to type the addresses into your web browser.
