Tuesday Sept.18th: New ‘Journey in Faith’ group starts. If you are not a Catholic you are most welcome to this basic introduction to the basics of the Catholic faith (with no obligation). 8pm, Presbytery, 281A Crescent Drive. Catholics who would like a ‘refresher’ are also welcome. Informal, questioning, laughter.......! (It could also be for baptized Catholics who may never have received the sacrament of confirmation.) I am happy to chat with anyone before the 18th, should they wish.
Also on Tuesday 18th, those from the last Journey in Faith will be getting together in the meeting room at 8pm but this session is open to everyone who would like to look more closely at the scriptures (especially the Sunday gospel readings). This is one many initiatives to mark the Pope’s call for ‘A Year of Faith.’ (October 2012 - November 2013). (Both these sessions will end by 9.30pm at the latest.)

Weekend of 29th/30th: LiveSimply will be officially launched in the parish, and Jim Simmons from CAFOD Southwark will speak. Many thanks to all those who have been (and will be) involved.

We would welcome your contributions of new items for raffle prizes (in particular toiletries and beauty products, luxury food items and bottles) - please leave in the box in the corridor at the back of church.
