Easter Services: Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to the beautiful services over Easter: the readers; the ladies who cleaned the church and arranged the beautiful flowers for Easter Sunday; our music makers and, of course, our incomparable altar servers.
Terry Cantle:parishioners will note that there are three Masses this week for the repose of the soul of Terry Cantle whose requiem mass took place last Friday. For many years Terry served the parish as a Reader, a Eucharistic Minister and organiser of the annual pilgrimage to Our Lady’s shrine in Walsingham, which he carried out with a military precision of which his former employers would have been proud.
Confirmation preparation: It is hoped to hold the first meeting of the confirmation group after Mass on Sunday 12th May. Further dates to be confirmed, but in the first instance: 12th May, 2nd June, 16th June, 23rd June, 30th June, 7th July, 1st September and 8th September. Confirmation is on 20th September.

Register of Deaths:During the Bidding Prayers on the first Sunday of every month, we are reminded of those members of our parish who died during that particular month. Details of these parishioners are recorded in a Register of Deaths. These details are now duplicated in digital format and a printed version can be consulted in the file which can be found at the back of church. If you are aware of any errors or omissions, please let Father John or Peter Fryer know and the necessary steps will be taken to rectify the situation.
SPUC 2019 Campaign Tour: “Defeating Abortion Decriminalisation” is the priority pro-life campaign in 2019. Everyone is invited to a meeting to be held this Wednesday 1st May from 7.30-9.00pm at Rothley Baptist Church, 2 Woodgate, Rothley. LRE7 7LJ.

Prayers for fellow parishioners: When you are away from St Gregory’s and you call in to a church for Mass or for private prayer, please remember to pray for our parish community. It would be lovely if you could take a photo of the church you visit and pass it on to Peter for inclusion on the parish website. We shall be able to build a picture gallery of churches throughout the world where we have prayed for each other. We have already made a start which can be viewed on the website in the “Gallery”.
After Mass: Please come and join us in the Social Centre for a cup of tea/coffee/soft drink and a chat. If you are a newcomer or a visitor you are particularly welcome.
