My Dear Friends,
The time of Holy Communion, when we come forward to receive the Body and Blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ, is one of the most important moments in the whole of the Sacrifice of the Mass. It MUST be a time of prayer and stillness, an opportunity for all of us to meditate on what it is that we receive, and give thanks to Almighty God for his goodness to us.
Sadly this is not always the case here at St Gregory the Great and recently I have been particularly distressed to see people even chatting to one another in the queue for communion! This is quite unacceptable I'm afraid. Please let us work together to make this a prayerful moment during which we may all appreciate the solemnity of God's gracious gift.
Many thanks to those of you who have already returned your Red Mission Boxes to the presbytery or church. If you have a Red Box at home please bring it along as soon as possible: please do not be tempted to leave them in the porch!
On Monday week, the Bank Holiday, we shall be having a parish 'working party' around the church, so that everything may be just so for our festival weekend. There is also a meeting in the church hall this Monday evening at 8 pm for anyone who can help on the day itself.
Don't forget that the morning Mass on Sunday 2nd September will be at 11 am!!
God Bless.
OUR PATRONAL FESTIVAL
2nd September 2007. Help is required in organising this special day. There will be a meeting in the hall at 8 pm on Monday 20th August for all who can help out. Do consider coming along. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK!!
THE MONDAY CLUB
Unfortunately we are having to look for a new co-ordinator for the Monday Club. If you are able to take on this important role speak to Fr Dennis or Gillian as soon as possible. If no-one comes forward it may be very difficult for the club to open, so please do consider this matter very seriously.
