WELCOME FR BONIFACE Fr Boniface has arrived please welcome him to the Parish, we wish him a pleasant stay at St Matthias. THIS WEEK SECOND COLLECTION FOR PETER’S PENCE Peter’s Pence: by reason of the bond of unity and charity, the bishops of the Church, with their people, join together  to produce those means which the Holy Father and the Apostolic See need to exercise works of mercy and charity and its service of the Universal Church. The faithful’s offerings to the Holy Father are destined to church needs, humanitarian initiatives and social promotion projects, as well as to the support of the Holy See. The Pope, being pastor of the whole Church, is attentive to the material needs of poor dioceses, religious institutes and faithful in grave difficulties: the poor, children, the elderly, those marginalized and the victims of war and natural disasters. Concrete aid is thus made available to bishops or dioceses in need, to Catholic education, assistance, to refugees, and immigrants, etc. RICHARD CHALLONER Summer Serenade 3rd July (from 6.30pm) Join us for a relaxed evening of live al fresco entertainment!

They provide practical and pastoral care to all seafarers, regardless of nationality or belief. Port chaplains and volunteer ship visitors welcome seafarers, offer welfare service and advice, practical help, care and friendship. Stella Maris in Great Britain is part of an international network working in more than 250 ports around the world. 90% ofworld trade is transported by ship, however the life of a modern seafarer can be dangerous and lonely. They may spend up to a year at a time away from home, separated from their family and loved ones and often working in harsh conditions. Stella Maris relies wholly on voluntary contributions, and can only continue its work through the generous donations of its supporters, particularly this collection.
