Notices
PLEASE REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS:
All those who are sick, housebound or isolating at home. Whilst the pandemic seems to be easing in our country we will all have been shocked by the terrible scenes in India over this last week. I am conscious that many of you will have relatives in India and will be very worried about them. Please be assured of our thoughts and prayers.
All those whose anniversaries occur at this time especially Merl Orton, Sr Mary Conception, Austin Chapman, Gerald Corrigan, Elsie Hennessey, Lucy O’Brien, Kath Buckley, Margaret Mary Sheridan, Pat Edgecombe, John Philbin, May they rest in peace and may the Lord bring comfort to their families and friends.
COLUMBAN FATHERS’ MISSION APPEAL: Fr Bernard McDonagh from Sale is a missionary priest ordained in 1974 as a member of the Missionary Society of St Columban (Columban Fathers). He will be visiting our parish next weekend to make an appeal on behalf of the Columban Fathers. He ministered in the Philippines for many years on the island of Mindanao and 4 years on the island of Taiwan among the Chinese people. He also served here at home and Australia as a member of the Columban Mission Education and Vocations Teams. In recent years he has been assigned here in the UK and has supplied in many parishes in the Diocese when needed. We look forward to welcoming Fr Barnard to our parish next weekend.
ASCENSION OF THE LORD: This Thursday (13th) is the Feast of the Ascension and is a Holy Day. There will be a Vigil Mass on Wednesday evening at 7pm and Mass on Thursday at 12 Noon. We welcome Fr John back to St Vincent’s as celebrant at these Masses and I am very grateful to him for his help.
MANY THANKS for a donation of £100 which we have received from the Knutsford Catenian Circle.
MAY ROSARY: Pope Francis is encouraging people throughout the world to pray the Rosary during the month of May imploring Our Blessed Lady to intercede for an end to the pandemic. We will pray the Rosary at 11am each Friday (except 14 May) and you are welcome to join me on the livestream or in Church.
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is offered after Weekday Masses in the sacristy or by appointment.
MASS BOOKINGS: Hopefully it will not be too long before we can open our church normally without the need to book. Recently I have noticed that although all places have been booked on our booking platform for all our Sunday Masses there have been several spare spaces which would suggest that people are reserving places and then not turning up. If you book a place and are then unable to attend please let us know so that others can take the places..THANK YOU For your Offertory gifts Please place any offertory envelopes or offerings in the baskets at the church door or post through the presbytery letterbox; thank you for your continued support of the parish in such difficult circumstances.
