Monday 14th July 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 20 July…
is the 5th Sunday after Trinity. We gather to sing the praises of God and marvel afresh at his mighty work as we break bread to celebrate God’s victory over death in Jesus Christ.
Our gospel reading this Sunday describes how Jesus visited the home of Martha. Her sister Mary sat at our Lord’s feet to listen attentively to him, whilst Martha got distracted by her many tasks. Of course, the beauty of our sung Mass punctuates the busyness of our lives, providing us with an “oasis of peace” void of everyday distractions. May our sacred time together enable us to listen to the compassionate promises of Jesus Christ so that his peace fills every aspect of our busy lives. Our Lord is kind, let us rejoice as we attend to him.
Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.
Fr Lincoln
BELL APPEAL: THANK YOU!
Thank you to everyone who donated money towards the repair of our bell. We are delighted to share that we have reached our target and have now raised the needed funds. This means our bell will soon be ringing once again once the repair work is complete. People have been ever so generous, and we are all grateful. Particular thanks must also go to Katica, Nipha, Tereza, Julie, and Vladka for all their hard work on Sunday at the bake sale. Thank you!
FRIDAY 18 JULY: HAMPDEN GURNEY SCHOOL MASS
We have our end of term School Mass in church this Friday. The weekly school Mass is always a special occasion, but this one is extra special. It is a chance to say our farewells to Year 6 as they set off to their secondary schools, giving thanks for each one of them and for all they have contributed to our school. Do please pray for the children of Hampden Gurney this week, and especially for our leavers as they embark of the next step of their educational adventures.

Thursday 10th July 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 13 July…
is the 4th Sunday after Trinity. Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.
The weeks certainly fly by, with the end of the school year just around the corner. It’s hard to believe it’s already the middle of July. Time races along.
We tend to imagine time as a straight line. Moving forward from beginning to end. Yet one theologian described it instead as a helix – and what it spirals around is the resurrected Christ.
It’s good to remember the resurrected Christ is present amidst all the hectic movements of this world. Available to us at each moment of our lives, calling us forward into the way of peace. Let us gather this Sunday to sing his praise and to celebrate that our lives are enveloped by his mercy.
Fr Lincoln
