2nd Sunday after Epiphany
2021 in the Light of the Fatima Message and Right Reason By Roberto de Mattei (With Acknowledgements to Rorate Caeli)
First Confession & First Holy Communion had to be deferred in 2020, on account of the impossibility of adequately preparing candidates. We will now try to arrange for these to be received as early as is feasible in 2021. Those parents who wish their children to receive preparation for their First Confession and First Holy Communion are asked to contact the by email as soon as possible.
St John Henry’s bookstore has re-opened after 8 am & 10.30 am Sunday Mass. Daily Latin-English Missals are available for purchase.
Planned giving envelopes/pledges: sets of planned giving envelopes for 2021 are now available for collection after the Sunday Masses, or from the Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Pledge forms are also available, for those wishing to contribute regularly by electronic transfer or credit card payments. For ease of administration, we encourage those who can to make their contributions by electronic transfer.
Hospitality after Sunday morning Masses: Volunteers are requested to assist with the post-Mass hospitality roster. Duties involve overseeing the provision of tea and coffee after Sunday morning Masses, and assisting with book room enquiries and sales. The time commitment is about an hour after Mass roughly once every month. Enquiries: Peter Janssen, tel 0414963282.
Coming soon: details on children’s Sunday school for 2021, adult catechesis, a proposed Parish soccer club, and fundraising for a Parish pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
