NEWSLETTER 22.10.23

20/10/2023 by John

Dear Friends,

‘Hearts on fire; feet on the move’ (Pope Francis)

Today, World Mission Sunday, is the day set aside by the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to its universal mission, its calling to bring the Good news of Christ to the ends of the earth. Pope Francis has recently reminded us that service to the mission entrusted to it by Christ is the goal of the synodal journey on which the Church is currently embarked.  ‘This journey is certainly not a turning of the Church in upon herself; nor is it a referendum about what we ought to believe and practice, nor a matter of human preferences. Rather, it is a process of setting out on the way and, like the disciples of Emmaus, listening to the risen Lord. For he always comes among us to explain the meaning of the Scriptures and to break bread for us, so that we can, by the power of the Holy Spirit, carry out his mission in the world’. And this mission is the responsibility not just of priests and religious, but of the entire people of God. Every Christian is called to be a missionary and witness to Christ.

Father Peter

Pope’s intention for the Month of October:  For the Synod. We pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a lifestyle at every level and allow herself to be guided by the Holy Spirit towards the peripheries of the world.

This Sunday, 22 October, is World Mission Day; next weekend (28/29 October) there will be a second collection in support of Missio (APF).  Please bring your red boxes in to be emptied.  Thank you. If you do not have a box and would like one, there are some spares in the Narthex  at the Sacred Heart church.

After Masses this weekend there will be a donation appeal for cash to fund Christmas food & gift boxes for the families, children and single people sheltered in the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVP) Temporary Emergency Accommodation homes at Cromer & Sheringham.  Please give generously.

Wednesday 1 November is the feast of All Saints and a Holyday of Obligation.  Masses will be: 
9.30am at St Helen’s, Hoveton
11.00am at The Sacred Heart, North Walsham
6.00pm at St John of the Cross, Aylsham

Thursday, 2 November is the feast of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day)  Masses will be:
9.30am at St John of the Cross, Aylsham
11.00am at The Sacred Heart, North Walsham
6.00pm at St Helen’s, Hoveton

It is planned to start the Confirmation programme mid November.  Anyone who would like to join the programme should contact either Ginny Keane at St John of the Cross, or Fr Peter. 

Faithful flames will no longer be happening weekly on Sunday mornings due to the changes in weather and lack of facilities, however please join Kerry after mass in the church for bitesize half an hour sessions in preparation for our Christmas Eve Mass this year starting from 5 November.

Come and Sing Fauré Requiem with Norfolk Camerata on Saturday 4 November at St Nicholas Church, North Walsham 10.00am—5.30pm; £10, with a free concert at 5.00pm.  Please see poster in Narthex, Sacred Heart Church, for details.

We pray for our sick parishioners: Matt Butler, Frances Palman, Mary Bell, Mary Carr, Paul Watson, Cyril Shenton,  Patricia Newton, Celia Cooper, Michael Haughton, Marie Barton, Robert Buhagiar, Margaret Larkins, Daphne Necchi, Bert Pooler,  Maria Halsey, Shirley Teague, Joan Macnamara and Richard Skelton.

We pray for those whose anniversaries occur this week: Adrian Joseph Beresford Frye (Ted), Frank Taylor, Irene Gladys Przybyla, Henry Honey, Joan Gwendlen Weston, Anthony Frederick Crouch (Tony), Sheila Hall, Charles Thacker. 

May they rest in peace.
