NOTICES
RETIRING COLLECTIONS:
There will be retiring collections after Mass the weekend of 16/17th November for the Sick and Retired Clergy Fund and 23/24th November (Christ the King) for The Koby Foundation and food bank donations in Advent for The Salvation Army.
ANNUAL APPEAL 1st DECEMBER:
Caritas Hallam – provides a loving service to those within our communities for instance 10,000 hours of counselling was delivered last year which included supporting children and their families in 24 of our schools, 100 referrals for domestic abuse, 15 wellbeing courses, relationship counselling and family therapy across the whole of the Diocese. Caritas is self funded and has to fundraise in order to generate all its own income, which is why this Parish Annual Appeal is so important. Pope Benedict also wrote: As a community, the Church must practise love. Love thus needs to be organized if it is to be an ordered service to the community.
ASSISTED DYING BILL:
As you will know a bill is being put through Parliament to introduce assisted suicide. The disability campaign group ‘Not Dead Yet’ has provided us with postcards that we can send to our MP to express our disagreement with the bill and to ask him to vote against it. Please take a card and send it off to Jake Richards MP for Rother Valley (or your relevent MP) before 29th November as that is when the bill is being heard
MASS FOR THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING:
A “signed” Mass has been arranged by Caritas at St Marie’s Cathedral Sheffield for Sunday Dec 15th at 3pm.
This will be fully signed by Jennifer Harris (BSL interpreter) along with one of the priests of the parish.
Prior to Covid, there was a well attended Mass for this group of people and we are hoping to schedule a number of such Masses throughout the Diocese.
All are invited.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
ADVENT AT ST BERNARD’S: St Bernard's Catholic High School will once again be holding early morning Masses in school each Wednesday during Advent starting at 8am. They would love to see you there if you can make it to any of them. The dates are:
