Dear Brothers & Sisters, Sts. Achilleus & Nereus (Tues) were roman soldiers who became Christian, and refused to offer sacrifice to pagan Gods. For this they were executed c.300AD. St.Pancras was a teenager around the same time in Rome, who also proudly professed his Christian faith, and paid the ultimate price. The old St.Pancras church in London lent its name to the nearby railway station. Our Lady of Fatima (Wednesday) is an optional feast, but we keep it, as many people in our parish have been blessed by the Fatima tradition, and by Jacinta, Francisco & Lucia, the three children granted the apparitions. The Ascension (Thursday) marks the point at which the early disciples had to accept that they could no longer cling to the earthly Jesus as they had known him. From now on they would know a different kind of presence. We have three masses: 7.00, 10.15 & 7.00pm The Evening Mass is combined with the feast of St.Michael Garicoits, and Bishop David Evans will preside. Tea & coffee to follow in the Friary Lounge. Saint Michael was born in 1797 a few years after the French Revolution when atheism became a fashionable trend. With his little band of followers he set about building up the body of Christ with an accent on love of the Heart of Jesus. His humble Band of followers still try to do the same today. ****************** First communion mass is 11.00 Saturday: Because of the sheer numbers involved benches are reserved for children and families.But the celebration Mass at 9.00am next Sunday is open to all
