THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM FR FRANK WESTCOTT:

Dear Friends in Christ,

I truly have been overwhelmed by your love, kindness and generosity over these past few days…I am very blessed to belong to such a wonderful parish family. I cannot begin to imagine how much time, thought, and sheer hard work, went into preparing such a beautiful and spiritually uplifting occasion. It was a joy to celebrate with you all, and such a great sign of the Holy Spirit working amidst His people.

As I mentioned at Mass on Sunday, it has often been the thought of serving you at St Edmund’s that has inspired and indeed strengthened me on my vocational journey,

So ‘thank you’ again, for your kindness, your gifts, cards, and words of encouragement. To all who have supported me, in whatever way, whether it be through advice, guidance, prayers, or sharing a chat over a coffee….’thank you’.

With all God’s blessings

Love and Prayers,

Fr. Frank

UPDATE ON OUR TWO CHOIRS’ SPONSORSHIP OF OUR VERY OWN BCCS BEAR!

As you know, our two choirs have adopted Ed the Ted and, during this year, like other groups throughout the Diocese, we’ll be collecting money from our singers to support the invaluable work of the Brentwood Catholic Chiildren’s Society during this their 40^th anniversary year.

A couple of weeks ago, Fr. Adrian kindly allowed us to shake our collection boxes after each of the masses and we can bearely wait to tell you that you contributed close to £300 as well as several scanned donations! We delivered a cheque for what we’ve raised so far to BCCS and they are very grateful. As an example, this amount will pay for a number of counselling sessions for young people with emotional or other problems, so your contributions make a direct and valuable difference. Thank you from our two choirs and, of course, from Ed!

Later this year, Fr. Adrian has agreed that we can shake the boxes again after the weekend masses and meanwhile we’ll persuade our singers to keep the collection boxes topped up!

PRO-LIFE ISSUES:

As Catholics, we are called to uphold the value and dignity of human life from the moment of conception until natural death. We urge our MPs to reaffirm society’s commitment to the care of the weakest in our midst and not their termination.
