The Funeral will take place at her home itself in Norton Manor, Malmesbury on Monday 19th October at 11.00 am. It would be a small gathering of 15 of close family in accordance with Covid rules allowing a bigger celebration of Countess Badeni’s life in St. Aldhelms's when times are easier. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Badeni family, specially Michael and Mary. Seating Capacity increased to 45 in our church We are very happy to communicate to you that the capacity in our church has been increased from 25 seats to 45 now, as we had the provision to revise risk assessment from 2 meters to 1 meter +. The diocese has approved the same, so from this week, our church can accommodate 45 people. As usual, if it is a family, you can occupy single bench to allow room for other individuals. If it is an individual from different households, then, please take your seat at the far end of each bench. As usual, face coverings are mandatory. Now that the capacity has been increased, please make sure to observe social distancing at all times, very specially as you enter and make an exit from the church. After the final hymn during weekend masses, people sitting at the back of the church will start making the exit first one be one. Those of us at the front will wait until it is convenient to do so. This applies equally to the weekday masses as well. As you are aware, for the weekend masses, we have the stewards allocated for this purpose. We very much appreciate your spontaneous offer of help to wipe the benches after the mass. But before doing so, please make sure to clarify with the stewards if they need help, as it makes the whole situation smoother and helps to maintain the distance and order. Thanks for your understanding. Look forward to your being with us in the church for the Eucharist. Thank You Words of gratitude to Catherine, Val and Fabienne for cleaning the clubroom, kitchen and toilet area. Words of gratitude to Kevin and Deacon Steve for doing the Risk Assessment of the kitchen and toilet area and also to increase the church capacity to 45 seats. Special words of thanks to Maurice and Mary for planning and putting in so much hard work for resuming the FHC course. Parish Toilet for Use Toilet will be kept open for use during the time when church is in operation whether during Mass or FHC course or any other liturgical services. Please use the side door (clubroom kitchen door) to enter, and not the club room door, and follow the special Covid-19 guidelines displayed there. Jubilarians in the Diocese Please remember in your prayers the following priests of the diocese who have celebrated a significant anniversary of their ordination to the priesthood this year. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 we have had to delay the annual celebration until 2021. Golden Jubilee: Father Daniel O’Sullivan; Ruby Jubilee: Dom James Hood OSB, Canon Richard Dwyer VJ; Silver Jubilee: Father Tom Finnegan, Father Cosmas Ikirodah MSP, Abbot Martin McLaughlin OSB. Two New Auxiliary Bishops The Archdiocese of Birmingham rejoices at the episcopal ordinations of two new auxiliary bishops. The Episcopal Ordination Mass for Bishops David Evans and Stephen Wright took place today at noon in St Chad’s Cathedral, on the Feast of St John Henry Newman. This may well be the first time that two bishops have been ordained together in St Chad’s Cathedral. Archbishop Bernard Longley was principal consecrator, joined by Bishop William Kenney and Bishop David McGough alongside Bishop Patrick McKinney, Mar Joseph Srampickal and Bishop David Oakley. The Archbishop welcomed all who attended the Mass, both in person and via the livestream, saying: “we are truly united in prayer for our two ordinands.” Read more: https://www.cbcew.org.uk/birmingham-two-new-auxiliary-bishops-091020/ World Mission Sunday 18 Oct 2020 World Mission Sunday – the one day in the year when the entire global Church comes together in support of mission – is happening on 18 October with a shout of courage and faith: ‘Here I am, send me!’ This special day is celebrated in every Catholic community in the world. It is a moment of grace to express solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are living in situations of poverty, violence and oppression. Catholics are called to support overseas mission financially and prayerfully through Missio. On World Mission Sunday 2020, we will be honouring the brave and selfless women and men already making a huge difference in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. As you are aware, due to the closure of the churches, the annual Second Collections for 2020 were unable to be taken on the planned Sundays. Anit is recognized by both the Bishops. Conference and the Diocese that parishes are experiencing a continued drop in income and therefore, apart from the See Collection for World Mission Sunday, there is no obligation to hold the other collections. You may bring along when you come to mass during this week the envelopes marked as ‘Mission Sunday Collection”, or alternatively if you like make contribution online, you are welcome to do so.

Foundation Governors must be practising Catholics and experience in education would be advantageous but not essential. The role of Governor is an entirely voluntary position, however, it is very rewarding to be part of such a strong, dedicated team ensuring that all of our children thrive in the happy, nurturing and loving environment that epitomises St Joseph’s. If you would like to discuss the role further please do not hesitate to contact me -nuala@st- josephsmalmesbury.wilts.sch.uk– or indeed any other Foundation Governor. As required by the Diocese, there will be a short informal interview with a panel of existing Governors who will recommend the most suitable candidate to the Bishop. Closing date for applications is Monday 19 Oct 20 at noon. Application forms and more information can be obtained from Nicki, the Clerk to Governors on —— [email protected] Sunday 18 October - Twenty-Nineth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A Jesus is very clear that we are called to serve God and be a good citizen at the same time. God works in and through every stratum of society to build community. We are instruments of God’s love and desire for unity. Rarely, except in situations of social justice, do we find ourselves in conflict with what the law asks of us and what our conscience is telling us. When we do, we must speak out, but with compassion, with love and with respect. God needs each one of us to serve the wider community, to build relationships wherever we are.

  • Catholic Life Newsletter
    CATHOLIC LIFE NEWSLETTER St. Edmund Campion Pray for Us Dear Parents and Carers The end of our academic year is not how we envisaged when we started out on our school journey on the 2nd September 2019. Every aspect of school life has been disrupted – not least those students who had been preparing for their GCSE’s or ‘A’ level exams. From a Catholic Life point of view we were unable to complete our usual liturgical and prayer services that we had planned for Lent in preparation for the great feast of Easter. However, through the modern technology that we now have we have been able to maintain our links to our families and friends, our school and our church. Praying together as a member of all these groups we belong to has been made possible by the live streaming of mass and other resources for prayer and reflection that have been made available to us. Communication between us can take many forms and I would like to share with you this uplifting blessing for us from those who cannot communicate verbally but use Makaton signing: https://youtu.be/va048-XxFTI As we approach the end of term CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) have produced a National Assembly for all children in our country. The theme of the assembly is for our summer to be a ‘TIME OF HOPE’. Please take the time to share this with your children: https://youtu.be/Fk8XTLhvL0s We have all been finding new ways of living our day to day lives over the last few months as we stayed at home.

  • Mass and Installation of the Most Reverend Bernard Longley Ninth Archbishop of Birmingham
    The Metropolitan Cathedral and Basilica of St Chad, Birmingham Mass and Installation of the Most Reverend Bernard Longley Ninth Archbishop of Birmingham Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Tuesday, 8 December 2009 HOMILY GIVEN BY ARCHBISHOP BERNARD LONGLEY Today is one of the two Patronal Feasts of this Archdiocese. Together with the Feast of St Chad in March, the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is year by year a day when the Catholic Church across these Midland counties and their cities recalls and celebrates its identity in faith and its mission in Christ. In preparing for this day I have been very conscious that I am entering into the life of a Christian family that has a long and rich history as well as its distinctive vocation to make Jesus Christ present, known and loved in this, the heart of England. This Mass of Installation is a profoundly personal experience for me – but it is much more than that. It is an ecclesial moment in which each one of us, in our own particular way, is caught up by God’s grace at work in the life of this Archdiocese. It is a moment in the life of the Church when we renew our awareness of Christ’s presence through his people, the body of his faithful. Our Patronal Feast of the Immaculate Conception makes us aware of the power of Christ at work within us, as individuals and as communities, even – and perhaps with most effect, most fruitfully – when we are least aware of it.
