PARISH PRAYER FOR THE WEEK:  We pray for all Christians: may we grow in love for God, and share that love with all our neighbours across the world.

Lord in your mercy…..

(CAFOD weekly prayers of intercession)

THE POPE’S INTENTION FOR  OCTOBER:  For Mental Health Ministry

Let us pray that the mental health ministry be established throughout the Church, helping to overcome the stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illnesses.

LIVE SIMPLY OCTOBER:  Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas,  reminds us that every person is a wonder, created in the image of God, let's put our phones down and make time for face-to-face conversations. Let's use AI responsibly, only when it is genuinely helpful and reduce our digital storage by deleting old emails, WhatsApps and unwanted photos. 

NOTICES:

MARY McCREADY RIP:

Aged 100 Mary has died in Woodlands Care Home. Her funeral Mass is  for 27th October at 12 noon in St Joseph's Church. We also pray for her daughter Ann-Marie at this time.

PARISH SUPPORT GROUP MEETING:

The next meeting of the Parish Support group is this Tuesday, 27th October at 7pm in the parish room.  All are welcome.

PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FOR T:

Please continue to pray for T,  an adult survivor of CSE/A living in Rotherham, who has been forced to leave her long-term home due to safety concerns. Rotherham Council has urgently approved her application to move, and she may need to relocate at very short notice. T has spoken to groups at St Joseph's in the past and is known to some parishioners. A fundraiser has been set up by Liam Harron to help with moving costs and has already raised over £1,200. T sends her heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Please read T’s story which you will find on an information leaflet at the back of church. If you would like to contribute, visit: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/justb2  or simply share this information with someone else you may know. Many thanks.

ANNUAL SAFEGUARDING MEETING:

Saturday 14th November 9.45-4pm at St Peter-in-Chains, Doncaster.  Bishop Marcus is attending along with a variety of interesting guest speakers. The event is open to Clergy, Safeguarding Reps, parishioners and volunteers. Free refreshements and lunch provided. Call Jo Pearson on 0114 2566453 to book your place.

CLOTHES COLLECTION:

There will be a collection of pre-loved good condition clothes for the Clothing Bank throughout October and November.  Please bring them to Church or drop them off at Chris Parrott's house (tel no 07917542303). The Clothing Bank is a charity that provides parcels of clothes for people who can't afford to buy them. Without decent clothes, people can't go for job interviews, children miss school, and older people stay at home and become isolated and lonely. Your donations will transform lives!

DONATE!:

If you have any unused spectacles and sunglasses  don’t leave them lying about in a drawer! Bring them to St Joseph’s and Blessed William Richardson where they will be sent off for redistribution or recycling. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what state.  Collection boxes are available in both churches. 

DO YOU HAVE ANY UNWANTED FURNITURE?

The St Vincent de Paul Furniture Store on Queens Road, Sheffield, collects and then redistributes unwanted furniture and household items without charge to people who are disadvantaged because of poverty, deprivation and other circumstances.  If you have any items to donate or wish to make a cash donation to support our work, please phone 0114 270 3990 between 9.00am and 3.00pm or visit www.svp.org.uk/sheffield-furniture-store.

Please see    the latest issue of the Hallam Bridge on our parish website. You can also subscribe to receive Hallam Bridge to your own in box using this link https://hallam-diocese.com/bridge/  and you will receive it as soon as it is released. 

DIGITAL GIVING:

Hopefully you have seen the credit card reader which has recently been installed at the back of St Joseph’s church. Sadly there was a small deficit last year in our parish funds and therefore it needs to be as easy as possible for parishioners to contribute to our parish.

There are now two new ways of cashless giving

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

          with the machine,  

OR

      2.    You can use the QR code in church and on the website, just scan the code and

           follow the simple instructions
