It is no longer practical to have Baptisms during Mass.
Nor is it sensible to have teas and coffees during the Baptism itself. The partitions are not soundproof. And so, as soon as Baptisms begin can we begin ending teas and coffee.
Whenever I’m doing the Baptism, I will lock up after the Baptism party have left the premises. Thanks again for all your support.
Our Journey in Faith begins again in the Autumn, so if you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, can you please give encouragement.
The weather forecast this Sunday is uncertain but as I write we hope it is good weather for the parish Picnic.
A number of you commented on how lovely the singing was at Michael Stoker’s funeral
Thank you to everybody who has signed the Cafod petition for new controls over finance to developing countries so that they can be released from unsustainable interest payments on historical debts, and receive grants as opposed to to loans in future.
There will be a last chance to sign in person this Sunday, after each Mass and at the Parish picnic. After this it will still be possible to sign online
