4/10/2026 [1] With the Twenty-Seventh Sunday Year A we celebrate Jesus whom is the stone rejected by the builders who becomes the corner stone of a New People of God. This New People of God is a Universal, global community – a vineyard of Hope for the world who must yield the fruit of community that witnesses to the value of every person and has a mission to transform the world in love and justice.
[2] We hold our first ‘Parish Synod’ day which needs to be a priority for all our community, to come together in the Spirit to discern God’s will for the future of our parish. Please give time and energy to our meeting after Mass 12.15pm-2.00pm. There will be a snack &refreshments available in the hall and children will be supervised so parents and our young people can participate. I cannot stress enough how important this meeting is.
[3] Today, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, concludes our Season of Creation – but not our work to heal our planet and live in communion with all creatures
PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION We pray for our Ministry of Church Cleaning. Our church building is a sacred space where the awesome act of Eucharist is celebrated and the People of God gather to worship and build together community for mission. Every week the church needs cleaning so that we can worthily offer worship to God. Eddie has been doing this voluntarily almost always win his own – we really need more volunteers to share the ministry and work. There can be some flexibility about day and time for the cleaning – please contact Richard to join the team.
DIOCESAN PRAYER We pray for the parish in Communion for Mission that is our Cathedral Church of Ss Peter & Paul, served by Mgr Liam Slattery VG, Fr Thomas Lawes, Fr Cavan McElligott, Deacons Paul Brandon, Robert von Hawrylak , Parish Administrator Mary Manners and all their community. Pray for their service of all our parishes, as the Mother Church of Clifton Diocese.
