THIS WEEK'S YOUTUBE VIDEO:
WHY DO CATHOLICS BELIEVE IN APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION?
What is the apostolic succession and is
there really an unbroken chain in the
Catholic Church between bishops and
the apostles of Jesus Christ?
Fr Joe Owusu-Ansah explains that
the Catholic Church is built on the foundation of the apostles and held together by the cornerstone, Jesus Christ, through the life-giving action of the Holy Spirit.

REQUESTING MASS FOR
A PARTICULAR INTENTION
It is a long-established and laudable
Catholic custom to ask that Mass
be offered for a particular intention.
Every Mass is offered for the glory of God a
nd the salvation of the world;
nevertheless, the priest may also offer
the Mass for a specific intention.
In this parish, Mass intentions are
usually published in the newsletter.
Anyone may request that Mass be
offered for a particular intention.
Masses are commonly offered for the
welfare of an individual or family, in thanksgiving, for a special need, or for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.
When requesting a Mass, it is customary to make an offering as a sign of one's particular participation in the offering of the Mass
and in support of the Church's ministry.
This offering is not a payment for the Mass, and no one is obliged to make one.
Please never feel that a Mass
cannot be offered for your intention
because of financial difficulty.
The grace of the Mass is never
bought or sold.
Its true price has already been
paid for us in the saving death
and resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
Mass intention envelopes are available
at the entrances to the church.

ENCYCLICAL LETTER MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS OF HIS HOLINESS
POPE LEO XIV ON SAFEGUARDING
THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME
OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A Church journeying through human history
19. The Church is present in the world as a sign of unity for the entire human family.
She recognizes today's questions and challenges as the current setting in which to carry out her particular vocation of listening, dialogue and service, and of being responsive to everything concerning the lives of contemporary men and women.
This involvement in people's lives helps
the Church understand ever more
clearly that her mission has a historical
scope and entails a responsibility for
the way in which social relations are built.
For this reason, she cannot consider
herself a stranger to the forces shaping society. On the contrary, the Church
actively participates in the processes
by which society grows and is organized,
and she offers her own contribution to the creation of a more just and fraternal society.
Pope Francis emphasized this historical dimension of the Church's mission:
"No one can demand that religion
should be relegated to the inner
sanctum of personal life, without influence
on societal and national life, without
concern for the soundness of civil institutions, without a right to offer an opinion
on events affecting society."

DISCOVERING CATHOLIC FAITH -
JOIN OUR JOURNEY
Are you curious about the Catholic faith?
Do you feel drawn to explore a deeper relationship with God?
We warmly invite you to join the
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA)
- a beautiful journey of faith,
prayer, and community, open to:
-
Adults seeking to become Catholic
-
Older children who wish to join the Church
-
Baptised Christians who want to complete their initiation into
the Catholic Church
What is RCIA?
RCIA is not just a "course"
but a spiritual journey.
Guided by the parish community, participants gradually discover the Catholic way of life through prayer, reflection, and fellowship.
Along the way, there are special liturgical rites that affirm and support you, leading up to the most joyful moment of all - receiving the Sacraments at the Easter Vigil and becoming
a full member of the Catholic Church.
Please see Father Sean after Mass or Email
