My Dear Friends,
Many of you will be away on your holidays this week and I hope it will be a happy and holy time for you all.
As Catholics we know that we are 'obliged' and privileged to be at Mass every Sunday, but when we are away this can add a whole new dimension, for wherever we go there will be a Catholic church we can attend! Certainly what we find may be very different to what we are used to, but such variety reminds us of the universal nature of the Mass and what it means to be a member of the Catholic church.
Sadly, there may be a great temptation for us to forget about going to Mass whilst we're away - but remember; God never forgets us, so let us not forget Him!
Finally we now have only a few weeks to go before we begin to use the Revised Mass texts. A most important booklet is on sale in the porch for just £1 and I would encourage every family to purchase a copy. They will also be needed for the special study sessions being arranged for our Special Ministers and Catechists, get yours today, more copies can be obtained very easily.
God Bless.
