Fr John: It is with the greatest of sadness that we learnt of the passing of Fr John’s mother on Friday morning. May we all pray for the repose of her soul and keep Fr John and his family in our thoughts at this most difficult time. We do not anticipate any weekday Masses this week, but there will be the usual Services of Word and Sacrament in Barrow and Sileby on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. There will also be Mass on Sunday as usual.
Sick list: Please pray for the following members of our parish: Beryl Ford, Bernard Moyers, Ida De Melo, Maurice Nixon, Irene Pallot, Eva Shirreffs, Stefania Stasior, Angela Doyle.
First Holy Communion: Sincere thanks to all those who made last Sunday’s Mass such a memorable occasion. It was a milestone in the faith journey of the five young people involved, but also a moving celebration of the Spirit at work in the heart of our community. We hope to put some photos on the website soon. Please send any that you have to Peter as soon as possible (email address at the bottom of this newsletter).
New altar servers: We are proud to welcome our new altar servers – Hugh, Caitlin and Faith – who are making their début this morning. We’re sure they will honour the high standards set by their more experienced colleagues … and, of course, by their inimitable teacher.
Eucharistic Ministers:Next Sunday is the feast of Corpus Christi, when our Eucharistic Ministers will renew their promises. They are kindly reminded to bring their scapulars with them to Mass next week.
Finances: Collection 2nd June: £101.20 and £65.60 for World Communication Day. Collection 9th June: £222.06 Many thanks. (Cheques to “St Gregory’s RC Parish”).
Second Collection: There will be a second collection todayin support of “The Day for Life”. Thank you, as ever, for your unfailing generosity. 
Confirmation preparation: Eight candidates from the Parish have embarked on their journey to confirmation. They will be meeting after Mass today, and on 23rd June, 30th June, 7th July, 1st September and 8th September. They will be confirmed on Friday 20th September.
Parish Pastoral Council: The next meeting of the PPC is on Wednesday 19thJune at 7.30pm in Barrow. If you would like anything discussed at the meeting, please ask one of the council: Terry Breed, Veronica Brown, Bron Coleman, Marlene Bartlett, Peter Fryer, Stephen Giacchino (jnr), Cath Jackson, Rebecca Jinks, Pam Looi or Kathryn Timmons.
Refugee Week: Tomorrow is the start of Refugee Week. This year we are invited to explore the lives of both refugees and those offering refuge, now and in the past. People fleeing war and persecution have found welcome in Britain for centuries: from Huguenots in the 17thCentury, through Belgians, Jewish, Vietnamese and Kosovans in the 20thCentury, and those seeking refuge today, their stories and contributions surround us and form part of who we are. Refugee stories may seem remote, but in fact they are everywhere, inflecting the culture we inhabit, the books we read, the music we listen to and the food we enjoy. They also live in many of the people around us. Let’s challenge ourselves this week to meet at least one person with a story of refuge – recent or historic –, listen to them, glimpse the world through their eyes and feel the connections that bind us all in the land we share.
St Mary’s Grub Club: Our friends at St Mary’s in Loughborough run a club that aims to provide a cooked meal and activities for disadvantaged children during the holidays when the free school meals these children depend on are not available. They are keen to find volunteers to help with this valuable initiative. The club offers 11 lunchtime sessions (11:45-14:15) between 15thJuly and 19thAugust. They would be immensely grateful for help with any or all of these 11 sessions. If you’d like to be involved, please talk to Rebecca Jinks.
Parish Prayer Cards: If you did not get one or would like to take one for somebody else, please help yourself from the box at the back of church. If you are a visitor to our church, please take one and remember us in your prayers when you go back home. 
Hearing Loop: For those with hearing aids, please switch your aid to the T setting to hear direct from the microphones.
After Mass: Please come and join us in the Social Centre for a drink and a chat. Visitors or newcomers are especially welcome.
