LIVE STREAMING APPEAL Many thanks to everyone who has contributed so generously and so quickly! We have now raised an amazing sum of £2825 (a combination of online donations and direct donations). We will give you the final cost of the project once the details have been finalised by the Finance Committee next Saturday.
OPENING OF CHURCHES FOR PRIVATE PRAYER Out of our three churches, St Michael's is large enough and has the best access, so we are focusing on opening this church first. Some alterations have to be made, however, on the Fire Doors and a company are coming in next week to deep clean the church. We also need to have a training session with our volunteers who will be stewards and cleaners. For all these reasons it will therefore not be able to open this week but we do hope to open next Sunday, 21st June for a couple of hours. There will be more information in next week’s bulletin. DIAL FOR MASS Remember, it is possible for those who do not have the internet to listen to Mass on the Telephone. It is very simple, five minutes before Mass starts phone 0333 0164 757 then when asked for the room number, dial: 50078530 # and then when asked for the pin number, dial: 4441 # This will take you straight through to the phone in church and you will be able to listen to Mass. If it does not work on the first attempt, it may be that we have been held up this end so please try again. JUNE DEVOTIONS TO THE SACRED HEART On Sundays of June after Mass, we will be praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart. There will be a copy of this on the website, so if you don't have the Internet, please ask a friend to print off a copy for you. As this Sunday is the Feast of Corpus Christi, we will be praying this before the Exposed Blessed Sacrament. YELLOW/ORANGE THEMED QUIZ prepared with the support of young parishioners now on the website: why not "phone a friend" attending at another church for parish trivia help! Answers in 3 weeks. [email protected] The answers to the previous quiz are now on the website. Ask a friend to print them off if you do not have access.
