LET ME SERVE YOU, A JUBILEE FOR VOLUNTEERS:
Bishop Ralph will celebrate our final Jubilee Mass this holy year for those who serve others across the diocese. All are invited to gather at Immaculate Conception Church, Rotherham, S65 3BA on Saturday 15th November at 11am. This is an invitation to everyone who volunteer their time in service to others, be it cleaning; taking communion to the housebound; flower arranging; running groups/events for the youth and elderly; work for our charities and lay organisations; or just popping in to help a neighbour, to name but a few. The liturgy is a chance to bless and give thanks for their work, as signs of hope in our world today. Cake will be served afterwards, and there is a chance to view the national Jubilee Icon, that is visiting our diocese at this time.

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF COMMUNION – Youth Training Opportunity:
This weekend, the diocesan youth will gather for their usual meeting where Sue will introduce the role of Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion—This stems from the interest and requests of young people themselves and the times in Padley when we have not had anyone except Sue to step in. In response, Sue is offering a training session for young people aged 16–25, in collaboration with the diocesan formation team. This will take place on Friday 14th November, 6–9pm, and is designed especially for those new to the ministry. It will not include a commissioning service.
As well as Catechesis on the Blessed Sacrament, the training will include practical guidance on:
• Distributing communion reverently—on the tongue or in the hand
• Offering blessings appropriately
• Purifying the sacred vessels
Young people who feel called to this ministry will be asked to approach their parish priest to seek permission to participate. If it is your usual practice to train ministers locally, please feel free to do so. Alternatively, they are welcome to join the diocesan training specifically directed to the young.
We hope that these newly trained ministers will also be able to serve within their school communities when needed.
Thank you, as always, for your generous support and accompaniment of our young people.

1. It’s very easy to use the card reader at the back of church, clear instructions are with the machine,
