The last Sunday of January! After last Sunday – the Word of God Sunday – this one is Racial Justice Sunday with its own theme and relevance for the present day, following on yesterday’s Holocaust Memorial Day and the news that enfolds us. Amidst these issues, external Charities are gearing up for their fundraising for the weeks ahead. Remember first things first. You will find in our website information for reading and reflection.

The Presentation of The Lord
February 2nd is also called Candlemas recalling Mary and Joseph bringing Jesus to the Temple in thanksgiving for his birth. The procession marks the journey to the Temple, the light of the candles the sense of revelation of Jesus, and at the Gospel his coming in his Words and in the Eucharistic Prayer is coming for us in Holy Communion. St Bernadette’s School has an Assembly to celebrate the Feast at 9.15am. Our Celebration will be at 10.30am and I hope you may be able to be present.

Missio Red Boxes
Will you take one home for your coppers to assist the Missionary Endeavour?
At last, all-powerful Master
You give leave to your servant to go in peace,
According to your promise.
For my eyes have seen your salvation
Which you have prepared for all nations,
The light to enlighten the Gentiles.
And give glory to Israel, your people.
