Then in December, after the parts arrived (for the second time - they had sent the wrong parts in November) and were ready to be fitted, it was realised that the broken boiler was in fact beyond repair and both would indeed have to be replaced at a cost of around £25,000. And now we’re in January! The good news is that the other remaining boiler has continued to function and to provide us with heat in church throughout this time. Stay tuned for further developments!

He lived until age of 105. 10.00am Mass Offered for Father Alex Fleming Missal Page 491 SATURDAY 19TH JANUARY 2019 11.00am Mass Offered for the People of the Parish Missal Page 494 11.30am Sacrament of Reconciliation (Individual Confessions) SUNDAY 20TH JANUARY 2019 – SECOND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME (YEAR C) 10.30am Mass Offered for Kevin Peter Carlon WHAT IS ORDINARY TIME IN THE CHURCH CALENDAR? The Church celebrates the mystery of Christ according to the rhythm of a yearly cycle whose climax is the three- days celebration of The Easter Triduum. The seasons of Lent and Easter (and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the seasons of Advent and Christmas) are the most solemn times of the year. The yearly cycle is completed by the thirty four weeks which comprise Ordinary Time. Ordinary Time begins on the Monday after the Sunday following the Feast of the Epiphany and continues until the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It begins again on the Monday after Pentecost and ends on the afternoon before the First Sunday of Advent. While the other liturgical seasons have their own distinctive character and celebrate a specific aspect of the mystery of Christ, the weeks of Ordinary Time, especially the Sundays, are devoted rather to the mystery of Christ in all its aspects. Ordinary Time enables the Church to appreciate more fully the ministry and message of Christ. The Lectionary for Mass provides a semi-continuous reading of the Synoptic Gospels on the Sundays in Ordinary Time over a three- yearly cycle (denoted by the letter A - The Year of the Gospel of Matthew - or B -The Year of the Gospel of Mark - or C - The Year of the Gospel of Luke) and in such a way that, as the Lord’s words and deeds unfold, the teaching proper to each of these gospels is presented. THANK YOU Offertory Collection £399.03 FOR LAST WEEK Crib Offerings £78.93 PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR THE COMING WEEKS Throughout the course of the year, the Church recommends particular intentions for us to remember in prayer. During these opening weeks of Ordinary Time, these are: For Peace on Earth (especially on Peace Sunday on the 20th of January, the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time); For the Unity of all Christians (especially during the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity from the 18th to the 25th of January). YOUR PERSONAL PIETY SHOP Is there a specific devotional item you would like to buy, maybe for your home or as a gift for a loved one, which our Piety Shop does not stock? Perhaps a crucifix to put on a shelf or hang on the wall, or a particular statue of Our Lady or one of the saints, or a prayer book or rosary? See Rita Abbott or Cecilia Hughes (they are both members of the choir) who have catalogues available for you to view and who can then order the item for you.

  • December 2008 a Call for Climate Justice
    December 2008 A Call for Climate Justice We, Catholic Bishops from the south and the north, address the world’s leaders as they prepare for the United Nations Climate Summits in Poznan and Copenhagen that will be decisive for the lives and livelihoods of all humanity. We are deeply concerned by the disproportionate impact human- induced climate change is having on poor and vulnerable people living in developing countries. Poor communities in developing countries are subject to the harshest effects of climate change, though they have done least to cause it. We, and the faithful in our communities, including millions of men, women and children from diverse cultures around the world, stand in profound solidarity with our global sisters and brothers. It is our moral obligation to take urgent action to tackle climate change and to do so in support of those most affected. We call on you to achieve a strong, binding and just global climate agreement to ensure the survival and wellbeing of all God’s children. As a matter of equity and responsibility, those who have created the problem must pay for the solution. Economically developed nations have a moral obligation to tackle climate change because of their disproportionate consumption of natural resources. Climate change is a reality today, affecting the lives and livelihoods of millions in developing countries by exacerbating storms, droughts and natural disasters. It is imperative that these countries receive the economic and technical assistance they need to adapt to climate change and ensure better lives and livelihoods for their people. We believe that we have a responsibility to exercise stewardship over the earth and its creatures.

Please send diary dates to [email protected] SYRIA: PAX CHRISTI ASKS WORLD LEADERS TO REFRAIN FROM AIR STRIKES, AND STABILISE RELATIONS FOR LONG-TERM PEACE Pax Christi International 13 April 2018 Pax Christi International said in a statement today: Syria's seven-year war has completely devastated the country and created the worst humanitarian crisis of our lifetime. More than half of Syria's people have been killed or fled. Over 13 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, while aid workers haven't been able to deliver aid in many parts of the country due to the violence. It's clear that foreign military involvement hasn't made Syria a safer place. The desperation felt by Syrians for a long-term solution for peace is shared around the world. Our peace movement condemns the use of chemical gas attacks in Syria and is again heartbroken by the images reaching us on 7 April of another attack in Douma. Despite Syria's ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), the supposed destruction of Syria's chemical stockpile by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and UN Security Council resolutions, these weapons remain available - possibly to different actors - and have already been used several times this year. We support the OPCW's recent fact-finding mission to Douma as well as the call of civil society organisations for a UN mechanism of inquiry.
