Twenty Seventh Sunday Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This week we have celebrated St Teresa of Lisieux, the little flower, a Saint noted for her humility and simplicity, a virtue that our busy lives does not always. She became a Carmelite Nun and entered at a very young age after applying to Rome to allow Her early entry. We also had the Feast of the Guardian Angels, a reminder that Christ taught us that each of us has a little angel appointed to look after us. What a beautiful and simple thought support by the life of St Teresa. "Unless we become like little children, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

A speaker will be at all Masses this weekend to tell us about the work of CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. Family Fast Day took place during the week and reminds us of the needs of those in need.

Please note that this newsletter is a double week due to staff holidays as well as retreat time. The office will be manned but if you have something required then full service will be resumed next week. For emergencies, please phone a neighbouring parish.

Look after yourselves in the care of Christ!

God bless,

Father Anton s.c.j.
