Welcome to Mass today and a special welcome to Fr. Joseph Udoh who will be appealing on behalf of St Patrick’s Missionary Society (Kiltegan Fathers). The Society, founded in 1932, undertakes Missionary Work in such places as Zambia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Mexico and Canada, working among the most poor and marginalised people in the world. I know you will respond generously.
We welcome also on Saturday at 4.30pm, through Holy Baptism, Sophie Emily Sudario Mulhall (13 months), her parents Malka and Joseph, and godparents Mary and Graham.
Many thanks to those who have left their car at home today! We join many churches (and indeed Europe!) in helping just a little to keep our atmosphere less polluted – and don’t forget the church bike racks!
This week
Monday (and Tuesday) – Pondering the Word at Hayes (am) and Bromley (pm). Highly recommended.
Monday – first meeting of the new Journey in Faith (RCIA) Group at 281A Crescent Drive, staring with coffee at 8.00pm.

Simply turn up!
Wednesday – Baptism preparation evening for parents who have been informed.
Next Sunday we shall have a speaker from CAFOD (Family Fast Day is Friday 2nd October).
Parish Forum – to receive the analysis of the survey concerning the future of our hall/social centre now on Tuesday 6th October at 8.00pm. We need a really good attendance – I hope every family in the congregation will be represented.
