CROW Berkshire’s annual sponsored Cycle, Run or Walk event organised by the Royal County of Berkshire Churches Trust, a charity which makes grants for repairs to churches of all denominations. Participants are sponsored, either by a donation or by an amount per church visited between 10am and 6pm on Saturday 13th September. Many churches will have stewards to welcome participants, while others will have signing-in forms on display outside. Those who are stewarding at a participating church may also be sponsored either for the amount of time they are on duty, or for the number of participants they sign in. Half the money raised goes to the Trust, and half to your own church. See the poster and sign up as soon as possible if you’re interested, so that we can give out sponsor forms.

Next WEEK
WELLSPRINGS – LECTIO DIVINA  Wednesday 17th September 45 Hemsdale. All welcome.

St Vincent de Paul Society September is SVP Awareness Month and the theme this year is “Who is my neighbour?” – please look at the posters in the entrance porch. Finding, supporting and serving God in our neighbour is fundamental to the Society's work and we are always in need of new members to help carry out this work. If you are interested, please contact Ruth Dean on 01628 671358. The St Edmund Campion Conference, in conjunction with the school, will be holding a fundraising draw over the next two weekends (13th/14th and 20th/21st September) and your support will be gratefully received.

Liturgy Anyone who would like to become involved and make a contribution to any aspect of liturgy (reading, music, bidding prayers, servers, children’s liturgy etc), especially those who are currently involved, should drop a message expressing their interest to the Parish Centre for the attention of Phil Melling or email philmelling@yahoo.co.uk. We will be organising a meeting in September when most people will be back off holiday.


New evangelisation website for children www.yfaith.co.uk is a new Catholic website which aims to provide a home-based support to parents and others responsible for the faith formation of children and young people. Its target age group is 10-13 year olds who have questions to ask and want to learn more about their journey of faith. As such it features more than 20 interactive pages covering music and film, ‘Girls Only’ and ‘Boys Only’ sections, book reviews, the Bible and a questions area. It is designed to enable “tweenagers” to engage with, explore and express their Catholic Faith. It has been created by the Catholic Agency To Support Evangelisation (CASE) which is an agency of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. Please do tell people about it and play your part in supporting our future Catholic evangelists.

If the fire alarm sounds, leave the Church as quickly and safely as possible.
Leave behind personal possessions such as coats and Hymn books etc.
DO NOT leave bulky items such as buggies in places where they can obstruct exit routes.
