We welcome today Fr.Patrick Bierne, SSC, of
the Colomban Fathers who will be preaching and appealing this weekend. This is
the annual
We were all shocked and saddened at the sudden death of Canon
Patrick Pearson (Fr.Pat) on June 22nd. He had been with us for
almost eight months and we shall all miss him tremendously. Many of you were
getting to know him, and he was very happy here in Petts Wood. I know he
appreciated your many kindnesses. Fr.Pat was 79, and in the 52nd year of his
priesthood. Funeral details have still not been announced so please watch the
website. May he rest in peace- and rise in glory.
Many thanks to those who have taken out
standing orders for the Maintenance and Refurbishment
Fund. If 300 families could pledge £20 a month for a year, we would more
than meet our target (with Gift Aid) of £70,000. The Social Centre will be
re-roofed in July/August 2012.
Thanks also to those who have filled in and
returned Time, Talents and Skills. Your responses are being analysed. Please fill in a form if you have not done
so!
Next Sunday bring and share picnic in the parish garden (12 noon onwards.) This
is a good way to meet others and relax together. Can we please have a general tidy up in the garden next Saturday
(July 9th)- 10am-12 noon- there are several garden events
coming up. List in porch.
The confirmation events (parents meeting on July 5th and
Mass on July 10th) have been postponed
until September.
Mass for the Sick with anointing- Sunday July 17th at
3pm, followed by tea. Many thanks for those who are organising this.
Mass
attendances last Sunday were 639. |
