We welcome also their sponsors, families and friends, and pray that they will all grow in their faith together with all of us at St James.Everyone is most welcome to a special reception after the 10am Mass in the Social Centre.
We welcome also Thomas Joseph Molloy (10 months) through Holy Baptism (Saturday 4.30pm), his parents Joanne and Joseph, and godparents Ruth, Rachel, Joseph and Nolan.
Monday Journey in Faith (present group) 8.00pm in the Presbytery. A new group will start on 21st September – green flyers in the porch.

Tuesday Justice and Peace group at 8.00pm with Jim Simmons (new manager for CAFOD Southwark). Jim will give a PowerPoint presentation about many of CAFOD’s current projects, including its work with HIV/AIDS sufferers. Please support this evening by coming along and hearing about this good work, and also about the excellent work of our own J&P group!
Wednesday Mass with St James’ School (9.30am).
Next weekend we shall have our “5 in 1” collection. The parish has done this for many years to cut down on the number of second collections. The five are: Apostleship of the Sea, Day for Life, Catholic Association for Racial Justice, Catholic Association for the Support of Evangelisation and Catholic Youth Services. I know you will be generous in your support of all of these church-based groups.
Next Sunday also Linnett will be with us again to sell Fairtrade goods after each Mass. We greatly appreciated her visit last March and I know you will support her again.
Next weekend also – full details about Walk/Bicycle to Mass weekend 19/20th September our bit for the environment! See also our new bike racks installed last week by Bromley Council, at no charge to St James’, to encourage us to leave our cars at home! Many thanks to the J&P group for this initiative.
Advance Notices
Parish Forum – Tuesday 22nd September at 8.00pm to receive the results of the recent survey on the Social Centre. We really hope that as many people as possible will attend and feel that they “own” this project. This is your church and your hall so please participate fully in our developments. Please book the date now!
Pondering the Word I strongly encourage as many of you as possible to go and experience a new and effective way of reading the scriptures (Lection Divina). Forms in porch.An excellent facilitator, and an event sponsored by our own Bromley Deanery.
Readers and Eucharistic Ministers – please take details of the Day of Recollection with Bishop Pat on Saturday 3rd October at Bishop Thomas Grant School, Streatham. Would you please tick your name in porch if you intend to go. Please return your own form as requested. Thank you.
All new rotas – available in porch carousel and online.
St Theresa of Lisieux – her relics will be at Aylesford on Saturday 10th October and Archbishop Kevin will be celebrating Mass at 11.30am. I do hope many of you will go. Please do not be put off by the idea of “relics”.What matters is the holiness of Theresa and her simple spirituality which has touched the hearts of millions of people. She is truly a saint for our time.See CTS leaflet in porch.
Coloma Convent Girls’ School, Croydon open evenings very soon – full details in porch.
We are richly blessed in our parish with 8 adults and 1 infant joining the Church this weekend.Deo Gratias!
