The picture at the top of this web page is one of the official logos used by the St Francis Xavier Mission Society; the religious order which the Diocese of Westminster is supporting this year.
Next Sunday it will be our privilege to welcome Fr Emilio Paloschi to the parish to speak to us all about the wonderful and exciting work that they do. He will preach at all Masses and share with us something of his day-to-day experiences of missionary work, and also make us aware of the different ways there are of living the Gospel in other Continents.
I know we will make him most welcome and feel sure that what he has to say will inspire us to reach out and support the vital work of his order. There will be a retiring collection after all Masses next weekend.
God Bless.
