Syston 11.00am Mass (Brankovic Family)
Theme of today’s Mass: “Christ who welcomes sinners”: The Christ we celebrate in this Eucharist comes for sinners; he welcomes them with love and mercy, offering them salvation and reconciliation with the Father in heaven.
Sick list: Please pray for the following members of our parish: Beryl Ford, Bernard Moyers, Patrick Hodgson, Ida De Melo, Maurice Nixon, Irene Pallot, Eva Shirreffs, Stefania Stasior, Angela Doyle.
Home Mission Sunday: Today is designated “Home Mission Sunday” and there will be a second collection.
Finances: Collections: 01/09 £185.15; 08/09 £124.25. Many thanks. (Cheques payable to St Gregory’s RC Parish).
Confirmation: Friday of this week is a very special day in the life of the parish when seven of our young people will be confirmed by Bishop Patrick. Please keep all of them – Isaac, Lucy, Kian, Sophiea, Jack, Hope, Gareth and Matthew – in your prayers as they approach this important milestone in the faith journeys. The service will start at 7.00pm. There will be a shared table in the hall afterwards. This promises to be a real celebration of fellowship in the Parish, and of hope for the future. It would be wonderful display of parish solidarity, not to mention a strong message to the Bishop, if we were able to have a “full house” at Mass on Friday, whether or not you are related to one of the candidates.
Altar Servers:A special request to the altar servers who will be assisting at Friday’s Confirmation service: please report to Wilf by 6.15pm – there are frequently some last-minute adjustments to be made to the order of service and these need to be anticipated. In addition, please could you wear your school shoes and not trainers?
Macmillan Coffee Morning: This will take place on Saturday 28th September in the hall from 10.00am to noon. Donations of cakes or a prize for the raffle would be most welcome. This year the Confirmation group will be helping the Friends which is wonderful. Donations can be given to Bron Coleman, Veronica Powell or Roberta Giacchino.
Faith in Families: “Faith in Families”, previously known as “The Catholic Children’s Society” has written to us regarding their work. A copy of their letter is posted at the back of church along with a poster. Both of these can also be viewed on the parish website; just click on the image of the poster on the Home Page to access the letter.
Divine Infant of Prague BBQ: This will take place on September 29th to which parishioners from St. Gregory's are most welcome. It will take place after 11 am Mass.
Mass Intentions: If you wish to have a Mass said for a special occasion or an anniversary, it would be helpful if you could make the request a couple of months in advance. Masses on Wednesdays and Fridays are less “in demand” and it is usually easier to make a request for one of these days at shorter notice.
Postage stamps: please remember to bring your used postage stamps to church and place them in the box at the back of church. These go to support a charity which trains dogs to warn their owners of life-threatening conditions.
Guild of St Stephen: Congratulations to Hugh, who is serving his first Mass as a fully enrolled member of the Guild of St Stephen. Thanks also to Wilf who has trained him to his usual high standards.
PPC Meeting: The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 25thSeptember. Please give some thought to any item that you would like to be raised.
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 cup of tea/coffee/soft drink and a chat. If you are a newcomer or a visitor you are particularly welcome.
