Sts Peter & Paul-2020 THE CATHOLIC PARISH OF ST. WILLIAM OF YORK 4 Brockley Park, Forest Hill, SE23 1PS Clergy;- Fr Habte Ukbay, Fr Gregory Griffiths, Deacon Amgad Gerges Telephone:- 020 8690 4549 email:- [email protected] THE FEAST OF SAINTs PETER AND PAUL (A) 28 JUNE 2020 Dear Parishioners Many thanks to all parishioners who have worked so hard this week in the prepara5on for the opening of the church and to all the volunteer stewards who made the re-opening possible. With effect from next week the church will be open for private prayer at the following 5mes:- Monday, Wednesday & Friday 10am - 12pm As you will be aware, the Government has announced that from 4 July 2020, it will be possible for churches to open again for Masses with a congrega5on. This is wonderful news and we know so many parishioners long to return to Mass. Please view these Guidance notes from the Bishops’ Conference regarding reopening our churches for Masses with a congrega5on which Archbishop John has adopted as mandatory in our Archdiocese. We are aware there will s5ll be many parishioners who cannot aJend Mass in person. We will con5nue to live-stream Mass everyday, both for those who remain shielding and vulnerable, and also for those unable to leave home due to advanced age or illness With effect from Saturday 4 July the following will apply at St William of York:- Saturday - Mass at 10.30am - live-streamed no congregaIon - Vigil Mass at 6pm - open to parishioners (not live-streamed) Sunday - - Mass at 10.30am - live-streamed and open to parishioners - Mass at 6pm - open to parishioners (not live-streamed) Monday, Wednesday & Friday - Mass at 9.15am - live-streamed and open to parishioners Tuesday & Thursday - Mass at 9.15am - live-streamed no congregaIon We ask all parishioners to reserve a place for the Saturday 6pm Vigil Mass and Sunday Masses at 10.30am and 6pm and these bookings may be completed via an on-line link (available shortly). Bookings may also be made by contacDng Mary by telephone 020 8690 4549 or via the parish email [email protected] by Thursday each week. Given there is no Sunday obliga5on, we ask you to consider the possibility of aJending Mass on a weekday. This will ease the pressure of numbers for Sunday celebra5ons and allow a gradual return to the Eucharist for more people. We will con5nue to maintain the 2 metre social distancing measures within the church which will enable a total of 112 parishioners to aJend Mass. !1 Please see the aJached church sea5ng plan. For the 5me being, there will be no congrega5onal singing and Mass will be shorter than usual. Thank you to all the parishioners who have volunteered so far to undertake stewarding ac5vi5es, in view of the new arrangements with effect from the 4th July, please contact Mary by email to advise your availability to assist. We require two stewards each 5me the Church is open, to arrive 15 minutes before Mass starts to prepare the church and to sani5se and secure the church at the end of Mass. I should be grateful for as many people as possible volunteer for stewarding ac5vi5es so we have a rota in place. Please use this link to register volunteer here indica5ng your availability. If we do not have the required number of volunteers, we may have to reduce the number of Masses celebrated. We ask everyone to respect and follow the guidance that will be issued and the instrucIons for our church. Fr Habte Scripture ReflecIon Jesus asks the disciples who people think he is. They suggest that he may be the reincarna5on of a previous prophet; some say Elijah, some say John the Bap5st. He pushes them, “But who do you say I am?” It is Simon Peter who is inspired to reply, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” And Jesus responds by calling him blessed, saying that this knowledge and convic5on has been given to him by God alone. Instead of Simon, son of Jonah, he names him Peter, which means rock, saying that Peter is the rock on which he will build his Church and that Peter will hold the keys to the kingdom of heaven and his rulings will apply both on earth and in heaven and evil will not be able to stand against him. In spite of Peter’s human failings, his love of God allows Jesus to work through him in establishing his Church in this world. We, led by Peter’s spiritual descendent, Pope Francis, and all with similar human weakness, we are that Church, which was built by Jesus on the faith of St Peter, and, similarly, we are sustained by being open to the love of God in all our thoughts and ac5ons. PB “Let us ask the Lord that our own lives may be that “good soil” in which the divine sower plants the word, so that it may bear within us fruits of holiness” Verbum Domini !2 Protect, O God, your people who trust in the patronage of your Holy Apostles St Peter and St Paul. May their faithfulness to your Son inspire us to preach, teach, and live the Gospel. In daily life, help us to witness to the power of conversion and the new life of the resurrecon. Give our shepherds and pastors hearts of faith like the Apostles. Make us disciples who are firm in faith, constant in prayer, and joyful in hope. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. O holy Apostles, St Peter and Paul, intercede for us. HOLY FATHER’S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR JULY 2020 Our Families We pray that today’s families may be accompanied with love, respect and guidance.

  • 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.

Father John gave so much to Scouting over many years, both at national and international levels and he will be sorely missed by a great number of people. He represented us in Europe and beyond, giving a wonderful example of chaplaincy to the Scouting Movement. His work with Gilwell Park, as National Faith Adviser, did much to keep Faith on the national agenda.

  • Hi, Bill, Managed to Open the Archbishop Michael Obit
    The Most Reverend Peter David Gregory Smith 21st October 1943 – 6th March 2020 Archbishop Emeritus of Southwark “Love if the fullness of the law” Archbishop Emeritus Peter Smith was down-to-earth, a gentle Canon Lawyer and later a gentle bishop, who always wanted to be a Parish Priest but the Holy Spirit had other plans. Born in Battersea on October 21st 1943, son of Cuthbert and Kathleen Smith, and he grew up in south-west London. He had one brother, James, and no sisters. He attend the local Catholic primary school before going on to Clapham College, a Catholic Secondary School in the area. Having completed his A Levels he considered the world of work. Having seen a vacancy in the local press he asked his father who Coutts and Co are; “the Queen’s bankers boy” was the reply – the young Peter thought to himself “that will do for me”. After a few years his mind turned to considering University. Coutts were very supportive when he told them that he was considering a Law degree and they assured him that he would be welcome back if he wished once he graduated. So Mr Smith headed off to Exeter University and in 1966 gained his degree (LLB). While at Exeter the call of a priestly vocation began to stir in his mind and the University priest Chaplain was very encouraging, “I always thought you would make a good priest”; the head of faculty was less impressed as he thought Peter would have had a good career in the Law.

In particular, the promotion of the value of Human Life continues to be at the forefront of the Department’s work and the response to particular cases and the changes to legislation have been particularly timely. The focus on end-of-life care has not been lost, mindful of the continuing need to be ready to respond to attempts to legalise assisted suicide. The Covid-19 Pandemic has given a particular focus to the work, especially with regard to the Vaccine programme, providing reassurance about its use and the service of the Common Good. The promulgation of the Holy Father’s Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, with its call for universal friendship and the “sincere gift of self to others” will continue to prompt the work of the Department at the service of the Church and the deeply significant place of Catholic Social Teaching for the life of the World. I take this opportunity to thank the Department Bishops and all who are engaged in life of the Department for all that has been achieved.
