NOTICES
WE WELCOME BISHOP RALPH TO CELEBRATE OUR MASS THIS SUNDAY.
THE POPE’S INTENTIONS FOR JANUARY: For true human fraternity
We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution; may their own rights and dignity be recognized, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family.
FR ANDY WRITES: Many thanks for all the wonderful gifts, cards and well wishes received and also to all those who have helped make our Christmas celebrations so special. To the cleaning team who keep our church looking so beautiful, the flowers, music, readers, bidding prayers and ministers of communion and to all who attended our services over the Christmas period. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day and I wish you all a very happy New Year.
DONATIONS: A big thank you to all who donated to the Carmel of the Holy Spirit Convent at Kirkedge, £325 was raised. A big thank you also for donations to the Street children, £350 was raised. Given the difficulties of the last year these are amazing totals.
CAFOD AFGHANISTAN APPEAL: CAFOD is combining efforts with the DEC to launch the Afghanistan Crisis Appeal. In Afghanistan, 8 million people are on the brink of famine because of drought, collapsing economy, food shortages, conflict, and COVID. CAFOD is supporting sister Caritas agencies to reach communities most in need with food, clean water, and fuel. During Advent, when we open ourselves to the needs of others, let’s do all that we can to save lives. You can donate on the CAFOD website: cafod.org.uk/AfghanistanAppeal and please pray for the people of Afghanistan.
SYNOD 2021 – 2023: An Invitation to respond to Pope Francis
“I dream of a ‘missionary option’, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation” Pope Francis (Evangelii Guadium n.27).
What do we need to transform in our parish community? We are approaching the final phases of the synod process within the Diocese with only 9 weeks to submit our responses after the Christmas Holiday. Make sure that your voice is heard by either joining the discussion in our parish or going along to one of the open meetings in either Wickersley on 22 January or Sheffield on 5 February 2022 10:00-12:30. Book on Eventbrite. Additionally, make sure you submit your response in the questionnaire included with the Christmas issue of the Hallam News or via the Synod pages of the Diocesan Website www.hallam-diocese/synod. The deadline for responses is 7 March 2022
