Syston 11.00am Mass (Tony Ryan’s Intentions)
Theme of today’s Mass: We celebrate the ancient feast of the martyrdom of Saints Peter and Paul in Rome. They are often referred to as “princes” of the apostles, from whom we derive our Christian faith. The Lord stood by them and gave them power, so that through them the message of the gospel might be proclaimed for all the world to hear. They kept the faith and received the crown of righteousness.
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.
Father John: we remember Fr John in our prayers.
First Holy Communion: If you took some photographs of the occasion and have not yet forwarded them to Peter, please do so as soon as possible (email address at the bottom of this newsletter).
Finances: Collection 23rd June: £92.66. Mass Offerings: £30.00. Many thanks. (Cheques to “St Gregory’s RC Parish”).
Second Collection: There will be a second collection todayin support of “Peter’s Pence”. “Peter’s Pence” is the name given to the financial support offered by the faithful to the Holy Father as a sign of their sharing in the concern of the Successor of Peter for the many different needs of the Universal Church and for the relief of those most in need. There are ten mandatory second collections each year and this is the sixth. Thank you in advance for your unfailing generosity.
Confirmation preparation: The next meeting is today after Mass. Thereafter on 7th July, 1st September and 8th September. There are eight candidates. These will be presented to the parish at Mass on a Sunday at the beginning of September. The Bishop will be coming to St Gregory’s on Friday 20th September. The service will start at 7.00pm. There will be a shared table in the Social Centre afterwards. There will be more details published nearer the time. All parishioners are invited to both the service and the refreshments afterwards.

They are keen to find volunteers to help with this valuable initiative. The club offers 11 lunchtime sessions (11:45-14:15) between 15th July and 19th August. 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.
