KEEP THE DATE- SEPTEMBER 28th – PARISH COMMUNITY DAY: Hi Everyone,

We’re organising a community day on September 28th, actually more of a morning. The parish is invited and please invite your friends and family. All are welcome.

We want to showcase our voluntary activities and tell our parish about them. There will be refreshments available, so save the date and come along. We look forward to seeing you.

If you are an organiser of a voluntary activity or a volunteer, please could you make yourself known to John at johnfitzm66@gmail.com giving your name, preferred contact method and what you volunteer for.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: Dear Parents: It is wonderful that families in our parish our always enthusiastic about their children making their First Holy Communion. I am sure that many of us remember our own experience of First Communion; how special it is to receive Jesus into our lives in this unique and profound way. It is, of course, part of our own ongoing growth as Christians, as Children of God, and is the beginning of a lifetime of Communions – of being united with Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Saviour.

After a time of prayer and discernment, of accompanying our children in this parish and in others, and after speaking with our catechists, it has become apparent that our children would be better able to participate in this important time in their lives if we wait a year, making the time of formation year 4 (ages 8/9). The important thing we all need to learn as disciples is that Jesus calls us into a deep, loving friendship with him and that Holy Communion is something that helps that friendship grow. Current thinking is that waiting a year , allowing maturity to develop, will help that understanding of friendship and discipleship and will help our young people in the long term in their relationship with Christ.

The Communion programme will pause for a year this September and a new set of sessions will be developed to commence in 2025/2026 for children aged 8 years and upwards. This will take the form of six sessions around the theme of ‘meetings with Jesus.’ As always, families will be encouraged to supplement this by sharing their faith with their children at home. Resources will be made available to families to help with this.

With every blessing

Fr. Adrian

PETER’S PENCE SECOND COLLECTION:

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.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION GOING FORTH MASS

Sunday- 19^th May- 11:00am First Holy Communion Going Forth Mass

NOTE FOR OUR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUP:

We will next be singing and playing at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 2^nd June and beforehand having a practice 7 to 8pm on Tuesday, 28^th May.

We were disappointed that we only had a small number of our singers at our May practice and Mass, so here’s your chance to make amends by many more of you coming to our 28^th May practice and 2^nd June Mass! It’s the feast of Corpus Christi, so let’s try to celebrate this lovely feast day in full force. If there are any parishioners who would like to come and sing with us, you will be made very welcome.

BCCS Bear – an update!

As mentioned previously, our Parish Choir and Contemporary Music Group are this year supporting the Brentwood Catholic Children’s Society by collecting money from time to time in a BCCS box, encouraged by our cute BCCS bear mascot!

Fr Adrian has kindly agreed that we can shake the box after the 6pm, 9am and 11am masses on 25^th and 26^th May. If any parishioners would like to support our two choirs’ efforts by putting something in the box, this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance and, later on, we’ll let you know how we’re getting on!

The trustees of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Multi Academy Trust are seeking governors to support the leadership of the schools they serve.

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Multi Academy Trust consists of three Catholic schools

St. Albans Catholic Academy in Harlow,
St Luke’s Catholic Academy in Harlow
St John Fisher Catholic Academy in Loughton

Active governance supports the Catholic community and Catholic education in a variety of ways, most importantly it can have a significant impact by raising the quality of educational provision in our schools, which in turn ensures our children have a rich and full life, growing as ambassadors our Catholic faith.

We are particularly seeking governors who can support the schools using their professional qualities, such as leadership and management, finance and HR.

Being a foundation governor in a Catholic school is very rewarding, and a great way to live out your faith and serve your local community. It is also an opportunity to learn new skills which can have a positive impact on your own learning and professional development. If you are interested please email Clerk@ourladyoffatimatrust.essex.sch.uk to arrange a meeting, or visit our website https://www.ourladyoffatimatrust.essex.sch.uk/ for the governor application / nomination form.
