Refreshments St Augustine's Church Hall will be open every Sunday after the 11.00am Mass for teas and coffees. Please come and join us. St Augustine’s Faith in Families Boxes Please could you bring in your boxes for emptying. Please give them to Diane Flynn or take them into the sacristy. Working Together as Parishes Our first ‘working together’ meeting had representatives from Our Lady and St Edward, Sacred Heart and St Augustine’s parishes. We had a good discussion regarding the challenges and opportunities of working together more closely-integrating activities, both liturgically and pastorally. We introduced the ideas of displaying newsletters from each Parish in our churches and a new prayer to support ‘working together’ to be said across the three churches. We thought of new opportunities, like social activities and sharing resources. The next step is for the PPC’s to discuss further opportunities and then representatives from the PPC’s will come together for further dialogue and discussion in this development. Please remember to keep this initiative in you daily prayers. St Augustine’s Cleaning Rota We still need more volunteers to join the church cleaning rota. This would involve being on the rota about every six weeks, but might be less frequent if a lot of people volunteer. Please give your name and phone number to Carol or Diane. St Augustine’s African Choir next Sunday the African Community at St Augustine’s will lead the singing at the 11am Mass. Today: How would the following exercise appeal to you? You sit in front of a mirror, reflect on all the failures, brokenness, and sin in your life. You can take as much time as you need for this. You are going to ask God’s forgiveness, you are going to try to make amends wherever possible, and you want to move forward from here. Ask yourself one simple question: How willing are you to give yourself absolution, to forgive yourself totally, before you dare to ask God to forgive you? Is there any point in asking God to do something for you that you are now willing to do for yourself? Guilt is not from God. Rather it is our inability to forgive ourselves. A leading psychiatrist said that he could discharge two-thirds of his patients immediately if he could get them to forgive themselves. To forgive is not necessarily to forget. I cannot press a button and erase the memory of some hurt or injustice. I can forgive, though, and, through the work of God’s Spirit, the memory will be healed, and will no longer hurt. Is there anyone who has really hurt you, and against whom you have every reason to have a very great resentment? We have all received our own share of hurts in life, but there is usually one or two in particular who have hurt us more than others. Do you think you could hand over that hurt to God in the Offertory of the Mass? Jesus taught us one simple prayer, which we call the Our Father or the Lord’s Prayer. It is a simple prayer, and it is quite short. One of the petitions is where we ask God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. We can rattle off this prayer, and fail to realise the bind in which it can place us. We are putting a condition of God’s forgiveness, and that condition is that we are willing to forgive others. Please take some time out today to reflect on the ramifications of saying that prayer. (MB) Proposed Changes to Parking Charges around the Cathedral We have received notification from the City Council that they are proposing to make amendments to Traffic Orders to improve the increasing demands of on-street parking around the Cathedral ~ Zones 1; 2 and 3 as at certain times demand for on-street parking is exceeding supply and so it is important to ensure that short/medium stays are catered for.

The proposed tariffs are as follows: Daily 8am to 10pm ~ Monday to Sunday Zone 1: £1 for first 30 minutes, £2 for one hour, Then £2.00 per hour thereafter. Fixed tariff £2 between 8pm and 10pm. Zone 2: £1 for first hour, then £1 per hour thereafter. Zone 3: £1 for first two hours, then 50p per hour thereafter.

They are also reducing the number of parking meters available meaning that users will need to use the Ringo App on their mobile phones. This will discriminate against more elderly or technologically minded parishioners who may not be able to use the app or comfortable about paying over the telephone. We are intending to lodge an objection to the council and we are also asking all our parishioners to write with their concerns. If you wish to make any Sunday Morning Tea & comments on these proposals please send an email to Coffee Tea and Filter [email protected]. coffees will be served after the 8am, 10am & 11:15am Parish Finances Last Week Masses in the Cathedral St Augustine Cathedral Thank you for your Hall with bacon butties Loose Plate £ 220.70 £ 1,190.55 generosity to the work available after the Masses.

Father, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brethren. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realize that they have been chosen to be saints and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer Volunteers Urgently Needed! Are you looking for a challenge during Lent, involving prayer and self-sacrifice? Are you saddened to see the harm done to babies, women and families through abortion? “40 Days for Life” is a Christian campaign group whose purpose is to save the lives of unborn children through prayer, fasting and community outreach. With the support of Francis and also Bishop Patrick, we are running our 4th campaign here in Nottingham during Lent 2019. The aim of our prayers is simple: we are praying for an end to abortion. But we also offer support – moral and practical - to women who may be under pressure to have an abortion which they do not want, and which they may come to regret. Our vigil is prayerful, peaceful, and non- judgmental. If you care about abortion, and the terrible harm it is doing to our families and friends, please sign up now to pray with us, between Ash Wednesday (6th March) and Palm Sunday (14th April) on our webpage www.40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/Nottingham or contact us at [email protected]. If you want to know more before committing, we are holding an information event on Wednesday 27th February at 7.30pm, in the McGuiness Room in the social centre at St Barnabas’ Cathedral, where you can watch a short video about what is involved and talk to people who have done the vigil before. Come along and find out more! What a fantastic way to prepare for the of Easter! Enrolment In The Brown Scapular Of Our Lady Of Mount Carmel will take place on the evening of Ash Wednesday (i.e. 6th March 2019 ) after the Sacrifice of Holy Mass. Everyone interested in being enrolled please contact Jerzy Kulik by text on 07376 232256 or email [email protected] to reserve a Scapular.

The Value and Meaning of the Scapular - The Scapular finds its roots in the tradition of the Carmelite Order, which has seen in it a sign of Mary's motherly protection. It has therefore, a centuries' old spiritual meaning approved by the Church: It stands for a commitment to follow Jesus, like Mary, the perfect model of all the disciples of Christ. This commitment finds its origin in baptism by which we become children of God. Our Blessed Mother has promised special Graces and protection to those who are enrolled and wear her Brown Scapular night and day, showing our devotion to Mary by professing our devotion through prayer each day, to live as authentic Christians in line with the teaching of the Gospel, and to receive the Sacraments. 'On 13th October 1917, at the ''Great Apparition'' of Fatima, the children saw Our Lady as Queen of Carmel, with the scapular. We can more than reasonably assume she encourages this devotion'. It is a great way to follow the invitation of Bishop Patrick, announced at the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Walsingham 2018, to prepare ourselves for the re consecration of England as Our Lady's Dowry on the Feast of The Assumption later this year. Everyone is invited. Make the Enrolment a Family event. What a perfect way to Start Our Journey following Our Lord through Lent guided by Mary.

First Saturday Of The Month Devotion Of Reparation To The Immaculate Heart Of Mary according to Our Lady's request at Fatima takes place in the Lady Chapel at 12.00 noon after 10.00am Sacrifice of Mass and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. The Sacrament of Confession is available after Holy Mass. First Friday Of The Month Devotion Of Reparation To The Sacred Heart Of Jesus takes place after the 6.45pm Friday evening Prayer and Rosary in The Lady Chapel. Saint Barnabas Rosary Circle You are invited to join us in praying the Rosary in a meditative way every Friday after Evening Prayer in the Lady Chapel at 6:45pm. Beginners, strugglers and those wishing to discover a different approach to praying the Rosary! Our Blessed Lady invites us all! Prayer Intercessions - If you have a prayer intercession that you would like to be prayed for by the Saint Barnabas Rosary Circle please send it by text to Jerzy on 07376232256 or email to [email protected]. It will be written out and placed on the Prayer wall in the Ecumenical Chapel in the Cathedral as well as prayed for during the 6.45 pm Friday Evening Prayer and Rosary.
