Bulletin For Trinity Sunday

5/6/2020

 
A downloadable version of the bulletin is available on the Mass Times and Bulletin page. If you know someone who does not have access to the internet, please print off a copy for them.
OPENING OF CHURCHES FOR PRIVATE PRAYER There is a possibility that one of our churches may be opened for private prayer very soon. This will involve much work behind the scenes in order to ensure that visitors will be safe. 
It would be very helpful if you could let Fr Mark know if you would like to come into the church to pray so that we can gauge how often the church needs to be opened. 
We also need volunteers who are not in any vulnerable group, to clean the church or act as stewards. If we do not have enough cleaners of stewards, we will not be able to open the church. Please let Fr Mark know if you are able to volunteer. 

DIAL FOR MASS We are trying a new system where you can just use your telephone to listen to Sunday Mass. It is important that only people who do not have the internet use this because we only have 50 spaces for callers. It is very simple, on Sunday Morning from 10.55 am onwards 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. Let us know if it works!

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. 

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. mibeyg@hotmail.co.uk
The answers to the previous quiz are now on the website. Ask a friend to print them off if you do not have access.

MARYVALE SACRED HEART NOVENA All are invited to join online for the Annual Novena to the Sacred Heart at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart at Maryvale Institute. There will be a Mass, Sermon and Novena live-streamed each evening at 8pm from Thursday 11 June to Friday 19 June 2020 (Feast of the Sacred Heart). Archbishop Bernard Longley will be celebrating Mass on Sunday 21 June at 11am (on the day the ‘physical’ Pilgrimage would have taken place). It will be live streamed from St Chad’s Cathedral.
Full details, and how to access each event, are available on the Diocesan website: https://www.birminghamdiocese.org.uk/news/join-online-maryvale-sacred-heart-novena and Maryvale Institute website: https://www.maryvale.ac.uk/novena-2020.html

UNITE AGAINST CORONAVIRUS As we cope with the virus in the UK, we think of our sisters and brothers in developing countries who are facing this pandemic with fragile health systems, some of which have almost no intensive care beds or ventilators. Food prices have risen, the poorest are losing their jobs with wholesale shutdowns. Furthermore,  inadequate healthcare, lack of access to washing facilities and limited ability to social-distance will  result in loss of life on an intolerable scale. Please will you sign the CAFOD petition to ask the government to work with other world leaders to help the most vulnerable people in our world to cope with this crisis? https://cafod.org.uk/Campaign/Latest-campaigns/Unite-against-coronavirus
