28/06/2026 [1] We celebrate the Feast of SS Peter & Paul – Such different characters! Peter, ill-educated but skilful fisherman, impetuously generous but also weak, cautious; Paul, intellectual man of letters, visionary and adventurer with courage to break new ground! One a compassionate shepherd who knew his own weakness; the other a fearless prophet who knew his strength in the Lord. Both are foundation stones of the Church, both witness to Christ with their blood in the powerhouse of Rome. One has the keys to open the gates of God’s mercy and healing; the other wields the incisive sword of the Word that penetrates to the heart and converts! It is not always easy to be both gentles shepherd and courageous prophet – but that is the challenge for the Church of every age and place!
PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION We pray for our Live-streaming Team, co-ordinated by Reagan d’Mello. Started during Covid when no-one could come to Mass, it has been continued to enable those unable to attend for whatever reason to participate from a distance, be nourished by prayer, praise, the Word of God and Spiritual Communion. We have friends from different part of UK as well as New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Cameroon, Caribbean, USA and Canada that join us. And often weddings and funerals are live-streamed. This is a ministry of Evangelisation through the Internet. We are always looking for volunteers to be trained to live-stream and join the rota for Sundays and if possible be available for the occasional weekday. Please contact Lucy Lourenco
DIOCESAN PRAYER We pray for the parish in communion for mission of St George, Warminster served by Fr Anthony Paris, Deacon Terry Aspel, Parish Administrator Janeen Evans and all their community
