My Dear Friends,

Please pray for the children of our parish who are making their first Holy Communion over the next few weeks.

I would ask you also to remember in your prayers our team of Catechists. They work tirelessly to communicate the Faith to the next generation, and although there is always room for more people to volunteer for this task, the ones we have are tremendous - thank you!

I would also like to draw to your attention a course for parish catechists, that is being offered by the Maryvale Institute, in partnership with our Diocese. This part time course, which leads to a certificate in parish catechesis, is being held on 26th May, at Ealing Abbey from 10am-4pm. For more information please contact: 0121 3608118 or go to: www.maryvale.ac.uk for more information.

And finally, a training day for those whose wish to support people with learning difficulties, is to be held on 24th May 10.00am-3.00pm at St Joseph's Pastoral Centre, Hendon, Please contact Sue at St Joseph's on 020 8202 3999 to register.

God Bless.
