Masses from Monday to Saturday morning will not need to be pre-booked. Sunday Masses The Parish has three Sunday Masses, the Vigil Mass at 6pm on Saturday, the 10am Mass on Sunday morning and a 6pm Mass on Sunday evening. Bookings for all three Sunday Masses should be made via the parish’s online booking service. Click on the red ‘Select a date’ button and select the date and time of the Mass you wish to attend. You can book for Masses for future weeks too. Booking closes 17 hours before the start of Mass. Given the current pattern of attendance if all 'Ticket for one’ or 'Ticket for two' seats are taken, and you wish to attend Mass as an individual or couple - please book any of the other available tickets (e,g, A Ticket for 2 or 3). In a first come first served system, which we are operating, this is perfectly fine. In recent weeks we have had empty seats at Mass as people have not chosen to book. Larger groups – We have one family ticket, a seat for 4 to 6 people. However, if a family of six is unable to order because the family ticket is gone, then you can register for 1 Ticket of household of 3 and one ticket for 1 (individual ticket) and this will block a large six-seater bench. This would be 3 + 1 if used with space for social distancing. For this to work, you will need to book both the household and individual tickets in the same name. The Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has confirmed that the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains suspended. So please do not feel under any pressure to attend the Church when online or phone Masses are valid alternatives. Mass Attendance Over the last few weeks, we have seen the Welsh Government move from Covid Alert level 4 to alert level 3. In response, we have increased the number of weekend Masses. Mass attendance on these Sundays have been as follows: th Sunday 18 April 10am 48 Sunday 26th April 6pm 19 10am 51 6pm 22 Sunday 2nd May 6pm 34 10am 37 6pm 21 Please note that this means there are still plenty of spaces at Sunday Mass. Last Sunday for example there were 12 free places on Saturday evening, 7 free places on Sunday morning and 20 free spaces on Sunday evening. As noted in the item above, individuals and couples are encouraged to book the larger spaces when the 1s and 2s are already fully booked. Quote of the Week “Jesus said: ‘If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him.” John 14:23 – From the Gospel of today’s Mass. Sixth Sunday of Easter - The Day of Prayer for Eastern Christians Today, the Sixth Sunday of Easter is the Day of Prayer for Eastern Christians when Eastern and Western Christians come together in communion through prayer for the whole Church. As Catholics, we often forget that the Roman, Latin, or Western, Church is only one of twenty-four Catholic Churches throughout the world joined in unity with the Pope. The twenty-three Eastern Catholic Churches are the focus of this day of prayer. Many may be unknown to us, but here in Cardiff we have the example of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church with its ancient liturgy and traditions with the St. Thomas Mission here in Cardiff led by Fr. Fanzwa Pathil, many of whose members attend St. Teilo’s on occasion. So, today let us pray for Eastern Christians. If you wish to offer other forms of support to the projects of the Eastern Catholic Churches, you can donate by: • giving online at www.facecharity.org/give • texting DAYOFPRAYER to 70450 to donate £10 (*Texts cost £10 donation plus 1 standard rate message) • writing a cheque made out to Fellowship and Aid to the Christians of the East,
