Theme of today’s Mass: “The Revelation of Christ to the world”: From the rising of the sun to its setting we join all the people of the world in worshipping the infant King of the Jews.
Sick List: Please pray for the following members of our parish: Bernard Moyers, Patrick Hodgson, Tod Smith, Angela Doyle, Ida De Melo, Maurice Nixon, Eva Shirreffs, Stefania Stasior, Irene Pallot.
Can you help?: We are indeed fortunate that so many people do so much for our little parish, but there is always room for more volunteers. Could you join any of the following groups: Church cleaning; children’s liturgy; offertory rota; reading at Mass. New lists will be prepared shortly, so if you think that you might be able to help, please have a word with Fr John after Mass and he will point you in the direction of the person who looks after the different lists. No previous experience needed! Full training given! Job satisfaction guaranteed!
White Flower Appeal 2020:The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) will be holding its annual appeal next Sunday. On October 21st 2019 the most extreme abortion regime in Europe was imposed on the people of Northern Ireland by the government at Westminster. Abortion will now be permitted for any reason up until at least 24 weeks, and even beyond that. The abortion lobby now wants to introduce this in England and Wales. Please be as generous as you can to help SPUC defend unborn babies and their mothers from this new attack.
SPUC 2020 Youth Conference: This will take place from Friday 28th February – Sunday 1st March in Bedfordshire. Details of the programme can be found at the back of church and on the parish website.The Melton branch of SPUC has kindly offered to pay the full cost of the conference (and arrange transport) for two young people to attend. If you are interested, please see Wilf as soon as possible.
Date for your diary: The Parish Retreat will be on Saturday 21st March at the Rosmini Centre. This day of spiritual renewal was much appreciated by all those who attended last year. Details later.
First Holy Communion: If there are any children who would like to make their First Holy Communion, please see Fr John or Rebecca. They should be in School Year 3 or above to be eligible.
Parish Charity: The young people have chosen to support “Loughborough Town of Sanctuary” as our parish charity by collecting donations of money (basket next to Our Lady’s statue) for food vouchers; hats, scarves and gloves; toiletries, including toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap and shower gels, shampoo, deodorant; games, colouring books and activity packs for children. Loughborough Town of Sanctuary welcomes the up to 200 people who are required to report at the Home Office Immigration Reporting Centre in Loughborough each day.  A few thousand people travel from across the East Midlands to Loughborough to report, perhaps weekly, fortnightly or less frequently. In order to make them feel welcome when they visit Loughborough, volunteers meet and greet people outside the Reporting Centre, offer information about sources of help in Leicester, Derby and Nottingham and offer vouchers for food and drink. 
Home blessing: Have you thought about having your home blessed? Please see Fr John if you would like to arrange this.
Hearing Loop: For those with hearing aids, please switch your aid to the T setting to hear direct from the microphones.
Catholic Diaries 2020: These are available at the back of church. As well as being a “normal” diary, they also contain the Order of the Mass. As these will soon be “out of date”, please take one and leave an offering in the white box. 
Finances: Collection: 29th December: £69.90.  Candles: £4.60. Diaries: £5.00. Mass Offerings: £10.00. Many thanks. (Cheques to be made payable to: St Gregory’s RC Church)
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.
