Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations are
free email reflections sent every day of the year. Each meditation
features a reflection on a yearly theme, with each week building
on previous topics—though you can join at any time! The
theme this year is A Time of
Unveiling. Despite the uncertainty and disorder, our present
moment is a great opportunity to awaken to deeper transformation,
love, and hope. Sign-up
here to receive the Meditations.
There is a weekly Saturday morning Zoom-based
discussion group to explore the meditations.

June is the month of the

Parish Mission Statement

Always happy in the Lord.
I repeat what I want
is your happiness.
PH 4:4-5
Today is the feast day of St Aloysius. At the
age of 16, though destined to be a soldier as far as his father
was concerned, he started his training to be a Jesuit priest in
Rome.
An outbreak of the plague caused the Jesuits
to open a hospital in the city to care for the sick in which the
very young Aloysius served the needs of the patients.
He caught the plague and never recovered and
died.
How can we account for such determination in
someone so young? Certainly it was his natural inclination to
want to be like this but it was also by God’s grace that
he could see that this life of service to the needy was the best
way for him to live.
St. Aloysius did what he was meant to do. We
must live our lives as we are meant to. Regardless of our personal
inclinations we are called to live the life of a Christian through
the love of Jesus in us for others.

CAFOD – Climate
Change Petition:
This
year, the UK will host the largest gathering of world leaders
ever to take place on British soil: the ‘COP26’ climate
talks in Glasgow in November. As Prime Minister, Boris Johnson
must push world leaders to show the ambition we need to keep temperature
rises below the disastrous 1.5-degree threshold. This means that
all countries must play their part. With the eyes of the world
on the UK, we must urge the Prime Minister to make sure communities
hardest hit by the climate emergency are listened to at COP26.
Please sign our petition at //cafod.org.uk/reclaim
For those without internet access, petition cards can be ordered
from the CAFOD Shop: 0300 011 5680. Thank you.
If you are NEW to the parish
or your family details have changed, please complete this
registration form.
