Martin Stebbings, on behalf of Group 17 writes:- May I/we thank all those very kind and generous parishioners who have donated to the Just Giving page over the past few weeks. The response has been amazing, and I thank you whole-heartedly. Again, I would be very happy to take prayer petitions or intentions from parishioners. If you would like me to carry an intention to the Grotto on your behalf, please feel free to pass it on before the Easter Tridium Weekend. As previously mentioned, please keep all our pilgrims in your prayers, and be assured of mine for you when I travel to Lourdes at Easter. Thank you. Martin Stebbings
If you haven’t already done so, but would still like to commit to praying a decade of the Rosary each day during February, then please do put your initial or a tick in one of the boxes on the ‘Rosary Circle’ chart in the church porch. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of February, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time.
