CALLING ALL EX-ST EDWARD’S PUPILS FROM UPTON PARK: On 5^th February 1973, Bobby Moore, Captain of England and West Ham United, had this photograph taken with 99 pupils of St Edward’s Roman Catholic Primary School. The photograph was a memento of the incredible achievement by Bobby Moore in playing 100 games for England. This iconic image was taken in the playground of St Edward’s, just yards from West Ham’s stadium and shows Bobby Moore and the children, arms folded, each of them wearing an England cap.

If you were one of the children in the photograph on that historic day, 51 years ago, we would love to hear from you, as we would be delighted to find out about your memories from that wonderful day.

We will next be playing and singing at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 7^th January which is the feast of the Epiphany, so let’s all be there to make it a joyful celebration as our first Mass of the new year! Thanks again and God Bless!

MESSAGE FROM FR ADRIAN:

“God hides Himself in the littleness of a Child being born” – Pope Francis

In his prepared remarks, the Holy Father recalled that Jesus’ birth reveals God’s preferred style, “which is neither grandiose nor noisy, but rather a style characterised by hiddenness and littleness.” “These characteristics,” he said, “convey to us the gentle trait of God, who does not come to us to terrify us with His greatness or to impose himself with his magnificence, but makes himself present in the most ordinary way, becoming one of us.” Pope Francis noted that Jesus was born in a simple stable in Bethlehem, as a sign of God’s desire to be close to all.

On behalf of Father Christopher Clohessy, who is spending Christmas with us, Deacon Frank and myself, we wish you and your families a very Happy and Holy Christmas.

God bless

Father Adrian

CHRISTMAS CAROL SERVICE -TRINITY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

“Christmas is coming, Scrooge is hurrying home to meet visitors he didn’t expect. The wise men are slowly making their way to Bethlehem. In the tavern, the inn is filling up and there is only room in the stables. Christmas is coming! What a better way to celebrate other than the Trinity Catholic High School Christmas Carol Service. This will take place on Wednesday 20^th December in the Queen Elizabeth Memorial Hall ( Lower Site) at 7:00pm. It will be a true festival of a wide variety of music, all of it most pleasing to the ear. Do come along and join us as we make our journey to Bethlehem. As we do, I thank Mrs Kelly Greene and all those working so hard to make this a memorable occasion.

THE SVP ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS WILLING TO HELP CHILDREN PUT THEIR FAITH IN ACTION. Could this be you? The St Vincent de Paul Society have primary groups called Mini Vinnies, and volunteers would support teachers or youth leaders wishing to start a group in their school or parish. They will talk to children about how they can make a difference to those living in poverty and share resources to support the group. The role is flexible but does need people with some availability during school hours (at least 2 mornings or 2 afternoons per month) who are willing to travel within the diocese (all costs covered). If you are passionate about helping children discover how they can make a difference in their communities please email Sarah for more information on youngvincentians@svp.org.uk You do not have to have previous experience of working with children as all training will be given. Our next training day is on Tuesday 27^th February, 2024.

HELP SUPPORT THE EPPING FOREST FOODBANK THIS CHRISTMAS!

Every year as well as basic food parcels the Foodbank also provides Christmas hampers to help spread joy and happiness over Christmas, providing relief for individuals and families. The aim with the hampers is to provide the essential non-perishables for a Christmas dinner alongside some goodies such as chocolates and crackers.

Last year they provided food parcels to over 800 people during December, this year so far they have seen a 38% rise in demand for their service. It is estimated that 1,000 people could need to use the service during this December, numbers never seen before at the Foodbank. It is predicted that this is going to be a continuous increase, as they are already facing record breaking numbers every month.

Thank you everyone for your support.

As always, if there are new singers or musicians in our Parish who may consider joining us, you would be made very welcome. Thank you.
