St. Peter's and St. Paul's     

St. Peter's R.C. Church

*MATN:

The third and final meeting for Making All Things New will take place in

St. Andrew’s Academy
on Monday 1st October at 7pm.

At this meeting decisions will be taken by those who attend on proposals to be forwarded to Bishop John to help him make the appropriate decisions for our Cluster group.


Please make this meeting a priority and take part in this final stage of the process. 
Thank you to those parishioners
who have attend the previous meetings.

------------------------------------------------
 

* PRAYING FOR THE SICK:

If you wish prayers for anyone you know to be sick,
please let Canon Eddie know IN WRITING ONLY. (This is to comply with GDPR)
The sick will be listed in the newsletter and prayed for generally at all weekend Masses.

------------------------------------

* MEMORIAL PLAQUES:    St. Peter's & St. Paul's Parishes

At every Mass, we pray for our deceased relatives and friends.
As a Parish community, we now hope
to commemorate our deceased parishioners
in two very special and everlasting ways:

Firstly, we think it fitting to establish a dedicated Altar of Remembrance on which
a Parish Memorial Book will be placed as
a perpetual reminder of all our deceased parishioners.   Secondly, we also wish to provide families and friends of our deceased parishioners - and benefactors - the option to dedicate individual/family Memorial Plaques which will be permanently mounted on the walls around this Altar. 
A “Memorial Plaque” brochure, available after Mass, contains more details of these plans.  We hope you share our view that the Parish plans provide a befitting memorial to our deceased loved ones and that you will support our endeavours.

Please bring your child/children to the Hall by 9.50 am.  There are a few letters at the back of the Church for anyone who did not get one through the school.  


A timetable of the dates of Children’s Liturgy and  where it will take place is on the back of the letter. Please consider bringing your child to Liturgy. 
It will help them to understand their faith better and allow them to feel included as part of the community at Mass.

* HALL TEAS:

 You are invited to come together after Mass for tea etc. in the parish hall where you get to meet fellow parishioners on a social level. This is one of a number of simple ways in which we get to know parishioners within the community at a different level and as such it helps to build a stronger, caring community.    Thank you to those parishioners who come along regularly to the hall after Mass.
