NEWSLETTER 23.03.25

21/03/2025 by John

“The Christian who has stopped repenting has stopped growing.”

The 3rd Sunday of Lent Year C helps us reflect on God’s call, repentance and growth. The readings from Exodus, Corinthians and Luke guide us to understand our faith journey better.
In Exodus, God calls Moses from the burning bush. This shows that God reaches out to guide and lead His people.
In Corinthians, Paul warns against idol worship and turning away from God. This teaches us to stay faithful and avoid things that take us away from God.
Jesus in Luke speaks about the need to repent. He warns that without repentance, we will perish, showing the importance of turning back to God.

Fr. Peter.

This weekend there is a Second Collection for the Shrine at Walsingham; this is not only in our Diocese but throughout the UK.

‘Faithful Flames’ is making a few changes. It now has an email address on which to make contact with Kerry or pertaining to any church related communication: this, in addition to its Facebook page. faithful.flames2025@gmail.com
It is felt that children of 11years and above should, instead of being with Faithful Flames, more appropriately be attending Mass, preparing for confirmation etc.The changes will begin from Sunday 4th May.
Important new procedure. There will be a new admissions form for you to fill out for your children, keeping a record of the number of children in the group and also importantly ensuring correct contact information.

Ecumenical Lent lunches are being held in Aylsham: please see poster at the back of the church.

Adoration will be held in our three churches over a period of three days during the last week of March: on 26th at St Helen’s, 27th at the Sacred Heart and 28th at St John of the Cross. Please sign your name to a half hour (or longer) when you can be present within the hours for your church. (This is so that the Blessed Sacrament is never left unattended.) We need the return of these lists as soon as possible.

Jubilee of the Sick & Health Care Workers: Mass with anointing at the Cathedral. Bishop Peter warmly invites all those who are sick and those who are involved in health care in any capacity to a special Jubilee Mass at the Cathedral on Saturday 5th April at 11.30am. In place of the annual Mass held around the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, this Mass will give opportunity for the sacrament of the anointing of the sick, and in the Jubilee Year will be enriched by a celebration of the contributions made by the many doctors, nurses, pharmacists, orderlies and others across the Diocese who live out their Christian vocation in care of others.

Music at St John of the Cross. Owing to lack of numbers, very regretfully, a decision has been made to disband the choir. Singing at Sunday Mass will now be ‘congregational’, supported by its cantors. However, every few weeks an experimental ‘pop-up’ group of singers will lead a Sung Liturgy, strictly on a ‘one-off’ basis (ie. no forward commitment) the only requirement being to attend a rehearsal at 10am the day before the Mass. The first of these will be on Sunday 30th March (rehearsal 29th) and it is open to anyone in the community, regardless of experience
Anyone wishing to sing should sign the sheet at SJX before 23rd March. If successful, we will do this again for Easter Sunday.

Stations of the Cross will take place in each or our churches during Lent. Times will be on the back page.

We pray for our sick parishioners: Matt Butler, Frances Palman, Mary Bell, Celia Cooper, Marie Barton, Margaret Larkins, Maria Halsey, Joan Macnamara, Richard Skelton, Teresa Fitzmaurice, Joan Gale, Bernadette Saunders, Doreen Rockey & daughter Sandra, Pam Thornton, Inge O’ Toole, Mary Long, Mary Cockburn, Malcolm Akers, Frances Mack, Tony & Amy Heywood and Peter.

We pray for those whose anniversaries occur this week: Denis Condon, James (Jim) McCartan, Ivy Cafferky, Lawrence Carroll, Herbert Coates, Mamie Sweetman, Henry Newton and Anthony (Tony) Dickerson.
May they rest in peace.
