CALLED TO BEAR FRUIT CONSULTATION:

Thank you to all who took part
and for sharing so openly your hopes
for the life of the Church.

The response, with 15 actions points
for renewal, is available at rcaos.org.uk/calledtobearfruit
 or in hardcopy form from Fr Sean.

It revealed a burning desire within
parishes to be missionary and
evangelising disciples of the
Lord Jesus Christ, who work together
to help people encounter His love.

So, as we move forward on the next steps together, let's build up the Body of Christ
with faith and confidence, becoming ever
more a community of missionary disciples
 filled with joy and hope for the future.

We will continue the process of renewal
and further updates will be provided
 in due course.



CHRISTMAS VOLUNTEERS

This Christmas, there will be a number of people coming to Mass for the first time this year and perhaps for the very first time.

Each member of the community has an important part in fostering a sense of joy
and welcome at the advent of a visitor.

Please sign up at Saint Joseph's Altar.
 if you are available to help with welcoming, collecting, stewarding, tidying up
on the sheet at Saint Joseph's Altar.



FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

 FIRST HOLY COMMUNIONThe programme of preparation for First Confession and First Holy Communion will begin
 in the New Year.

Children who are in Year 3 or above
in their Junior School will be eligible.

A team of Catechists will run the programme.

It is essential that the child and family attends Mass here in St Matthias regularly and that the child and a parent/guardian take part in the programme of scheduled classes.

Application forms are now available
in the Sacristy, please see Fr Sean.

Deadline for submission of applications
is Sunday 28th December.



CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

 FIRST HOLY COMMUNION The Christmas Envelopes are used for collection at Masses at Christmas.

This is the traditional Thank You collection
by parishioners to the Priest of their Parish
 for their work and service.

The Christmas Offering together with the Easter Offering forms the Priest's main
source of income for the year.

Priests depend on generosity of parishioners for their personal income.
