A MESSAGE FROM FR ANDY: MASSES ON ZOOM
“It has been suggested that while we are having zoom Masses that we might be able to join in with the Mass on line more fully. The idea is to have ready at Mass time some bread and wine in your own home and when it is time for Holy Communion, we can all share in the Eucharistic celebration in a much richer way. So when I, as the priest, consecrate the bread and wine, those on zoom having the bread and wine in their presence are able to all eat and drink and share the same Eucharistic meal together. Hopefully this will help us to feel that we are still a faith community and close to the Lord and close to one another.”
For those unable to partake as above and who wish to receive Spiritual Communion the Catholic Bishops Conference offers the following prayer for recitation:
Oh my Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things, and I passionately desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally come spiritually into my soul.
so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen

A SPECIAL REQUEST FROM POPE FRANCIS: Throughout the month of May Pope Francis has invited Catholics and Marian Shrines to dedicate the month of May to a marathon prayer for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic. Pope Francis will open the Marian month of prayer on 1 May with a Rosary broadcast across Vatican Media’s platforms and each day Vatican News will broadcast the recitation of the Rosary at 6 PM Rome time from the various Shrines taking part in the initiative, (currently 30)
The Pope will close the initiative on 31 May with another specially-broadcast Rosary.
The initiative takes takes place under the theme “The whole Church was fervently praying to God,” which recalls a verse in the Book of Acts (12:5).
A LETTER FROM BISHOP RALPH REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT OF Foundation Directors FOR THE Diocese of Hallam Catholic Multi Academy Trusts
“For some time now, the Diocese of Hallam has been working on a strategic vision for the future of our schools. This vision centres on protecting and developing further the Catholic identity and mission of our schools by ensuring that each one is part of a large Catholic Multi Academy Trust.
This is an exciting initiative for the Diocese and our Schools. It will lead to a transformation in the support that schools receive, increase development opportunities for school staff, support the development of future catholic school leaders and have a positive impact on the future of Catholic Education in the Diocese.
Within the Trusts our schools will retain a local governing body, the Academy Committee, which will continue to be charged with overseeing the Catholic Life of the school and standards.
However, each Trust will also require a strong board of directors made up of people with skills in a wide range of areas who are willing to represent me in ensuring that the Trust complies with its legal and canonical duties to preserve and develop its Catholic character.
Our two new Catholic Multi Academy Trusts will be opened in early 2022 and will be named shortly. I am seeking to recruit foundation directors both now and in the lead up to 2022 into this important new role so that they are able to begin to support the Diocese in the many areas of work which must be completed prior to the opening of the Trusts.
The role of the Directors of the new CMAT Boards in overseeing the development of the CMATs will be hugely important. The role will be challenging but the rewards in terms of seeing the CMATs being successful will be great. We are looking for people who are committed to making a difference. The role of Director is wide ranging but rest assured the Diocese will ensure that training and support is provided.
Information on the role of a director within the Catholic Multi Academy Trusts will be available from 22nd April 2021 on the MAT Development page of the Diocese of Hallam website together with an application form.
Please do read that information and if, after doing so, you wish to be considered for the role of foundation director, please complete the application form and return it to the Diocese of Hallam Schools’ Department at the address stated on the form and by Wednesday 12th May.
Should you wish to know more about the role or have some specific questions to ask, please contact Clare Thorpe at the Schools’ Department whose contact details can be found on the application form.
Right Rev. Ralph Heskett, Bishop of Hallam.”
THY KINGDOM COME: A message from Greg Ryan, Director of Adult Formation, Doicese of Hallam. “You may have already heard about the UK churches initiative called "Thy Kingdom Come", praying for all aspects of spreading the Gospel, which takes place between Ascension and Pentecost. I know that some Hallam parishioners have taken part in previous years.
A number of resources which may be useful to individuals and parish groups have been made available by Teresa Carvalho. You can find downloads of the Catholic Resources via https://www.thykingdomcome.global/resources/resources-catholic-church and copies can be ordered via https://www.cpo.org.uk/static.aspx?key=product&q=113 (individual copies) or free larger orders https://www.cpo.org.uk/static.aspx?key=product&q=114 while stocks last. “
A suggestion is also made regarding identifying Parish Champions. If you are interested in being a "Parish Champion" for this initiative, Greg asks that you discuss this first with Fr Andy and then let him know so that people can be connected at the diocesan level.
FUND RAISING FOR KIVETON: Work on the church in KIveton continues. Please visit the Kiveton Project item on the website to find out more information on the restoration project for Blessed William Richardson, Kiveton and also to find how you can make a donation on line to help with this vital project. Please note that we will also accept cash or cheque donations marked clearly ‘BWR’ which can be passed to Fr Andy or any members of the Reflection Group. The target amount we need to achieve is £14,000. This is to meet the costs of roof repairs, essential electrical work, interior renovation, and redecoration. To comply with all health and safety requirements this work must be completed before the Diocese will allow the chapel to reopen. Some funding has already come from the Diocese and the parish is passionately committed to financially supporting the reopening of the chapel and the amount raised to date is £4100.
