COMMUNITY DAY
Many thanks to everyone who helped plan, organise or deliver our parish community day last Sunday. Thank you, also, to everyone who came along: there was a wonderful feeling of togetherness, discovery and warmth. As we learnt more about the parish and made or renewed friendships the main word that came to mind was encouragement. Thank you again and well done!
‘Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:11.
JOURNEY IN FAITH
Do you feel God’s gentle call to become Catholic? Or have you been away from Church life and want to return, finding out more about your faith? Would you like to deepen your knowledge of the Catholic Faith?
If any of these questions apply to your situation then the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is for you! Running from October until Easter, the RCIA programme helps to form intentional disciples for Christ and prepare candidates for the sacraments of initiation into the Church, as well as helping anyone who would like a refresher of Catholic teaching.
If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please contact the parish office.
SECOND COLLECTION
There will be a second collection this weekend for CAFOD after all the masses. Envelopes will also be available at the back of the Church if you would like to make a donation.
VOCATIONS
The next “Enquirers’ Evening” for those considering or interested in a vocation to the priesthood is on Tuesday 8 October at Brentwood Cathedral. The speaker will be Fr Mark Reilly.
For further information please contact Fr Mark Swires: vocprom@brcdt.org
