Thank you: Thanks to the small group who turned up on Saturday to take part in the “tidy-up”.
Confirmation: Friday was a very special day in the life of the parish when seven of our young people were confirmed by Bishop Patrick. Please keep all of them – Isaac, Lucy, Kian, Sophiea, Jack, Hope, Gareth and Matthew – in your prayers. Sincere thanks to all those who supported them throughout their preparation period: parents, parish community and catechist.
Macmillan Coffee Morning: This will take place next 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.

Parish Website: Recent additions to the website include some lovely pictures taken by young parishioner, Isaac, on a school trip to Rome and further articles about our two WWII evacuees.
St. Vincent de Paul: (born April 24, 1581, Pouy, now Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, France - died September 27, 1660, Paris; canonized 1737; feast day September 27). The patron saint of charitable societies, St. Vincent de Paul is primarily recognized for his charity and compassion for the poor, though he is also known for his reform of the clergy and for his early role in opposing Jansenism. Educated by the Franciscans at Dax, France, he was ordained in 1600 and graduated from the University of Toulouse in 1604. He was allegedly captured at sea by Barbary pirates and sold as a slave but eventually escaped. He spent a year in Rome to continue his studies and then went to Paris, where he remained permanently. He placed himself under the spiritual guidance of the celebrated cardinal Pierre de Bérulle, who entrusted him with the parish of Clichy. After founding the Congregation of the Mission in 1625, Vincent de Paul established in and around Paris the Confraternities of Charity - associations of laywomen who visited, fed, and nursed the sick poor. The wealth of these women, many of noble family, aided him in establishing orphanages and hospitals. With St. Louise de Marillac he cofounded the Daughters of Charity (Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul) in 1633. The association was patterned after the Confraternities of Charity and was the first non-cloistered religious institute of women devoted to active charitable works. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic charitable organization dedicated to the service of the poor, was founded by Blessed Antoine Frédéric Ozanam in 1833.
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.
