PLEASE REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS:
All those who are sick, housebound or isolating at home especially David Nichols who will be having an operation.
All those whose anniversaries occur at this time especially Vincent Floyd, John Sheridan, Bridget Yates, Harold Myerscough, Edith Berrell. May they rest in peace and may the Lord bring comfort to their families and friends.
EASING OF RESTRICTIONS: Very gradually some of the restrictions on places of worship are being eased. Once again Bidding Prayers will be said at Mass and we will be able to have an offertory procession. I will now say “The Body of Christ” individually to those receiving Holy Communion and you should reply “Amen”. We will be able to keep the church open for private prayer. You should still book in for Mass as social distancing is still important and we need a record for track and trace. We are increasing our total number to 30 households. It is still important that you wear face coverings in church and sanitise your hands as you enter and leave.
COLUMBAN MISSION APPEAL: Fr Bernard McDermott has written to thank you for your very generous response to his recent Mission Appeal which raised £794.50
BAPTISMS are now possible with a maximum of 30 people attending. Please contact Fr David to make any bookings.
HOLY COMMUNION FOR THE SICK AND HOUSEBOUND: We are now allowed to visit people in their homes so I would like to start taking Holy Communion to those who are sick or housebound. Please email or phone the presbytery if you or a member of your family would like me to call. I would be grateful if Eucharistic Ministers could give me a list of those who they take Holy Communion to at home so that I can visit. Any Eucharistic Ministers are welcome to start visiting again if you feel comfortable doing so.
MAINTAINING THE GARDENS AROUND THE CHURCH: Some of you will have noticed that the gardens and hedges around the church need some attention. My thanks to Tom Hughes and his daughter for cutting the grass last week. Knutsford Catenians have offered to help out and would welcome help from other parishioners. If you would like to get involved in an occasional bit of mowing and tidying up please let the Catenians know via gardening@knutsfordcatenians.org.uk
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is offered after Weekday Masses in the sacristy or by appointment.
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.

COLUMBAN FATHERS’ MISSION APPEAL:We welcome today Fr Bernard McDermot from Sale, a missionary priest ordained in 1974 as a member of the Missionary Society of St Columban (Columban Fathers). He will 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.
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 this Friday, 21 May at 4pm. You are welcome to join me on the livestream or in Church.

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..

THE CARE OF CREATION: At a time of growing concern for the care of creation, the Church brings to the environmental concerns of our time the perspectives of God’s creation and the place of humanity within creation. The Church across the country is taking practical steps with IFM (Inter-Diocesan Fuel Management Ltd), based in our Shrewsbury Diocese and supplying all 22 dioceses and over 100 schools with 71% green energy and with a 29% carbon offset. The offset schemes include renewable boreholes in Eritrea and Bangladesh using household waste (including landfill) to reduce methane being produced and provide renewable power. IFM is also using its buying power to drive the demand for “green gas” in the UK.
