FR GRAEME SOON RETURNS TO WALSINGHAM!
Today is Fr Graeme’s last Sunday with us for a few months as he returns to Walsingham to minister in both the Benefice and the Shrine there. He goes with our love and the assurance of prayers. In view of last Sunday’s announcement, we very much look forward to him returning to us in the autumn when he will be licensed as the Priest in Charge here and at St Bart’s.

ORGAN RECITALS AT ST BART’S
As part of the Brighton Fringe festival this year, recitals are taking place every Tuesday of May at St Bart’s between 1.10pm and 2pm, continuing this week. Entrance is free.
SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
We gather on Thursday 29 May at 7pm for Solemn Mass at St Michael’s, Victoria Road. Low Mass will be celebrated at St Bart’s as normal on this day at 12 noon.
PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
We gather at 6pm on Monday 2 June at St Bart’s to pray together the Luminous Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. Everyone is invited to join us, whether or not you have prayed this devotion before.
PENTECOST SUNDAY PARISH LUNCH
After Mass on Sunday 8 June, we will be holding another Bring and Share lunch. Please speak to Susan about a contribution if you are able to make one and do note that only those items that go on her list ahead of time will feature at the lunch to avoid the unnecessary waste of food.
DEANERY CONFIRMATION SERVICE
At 7.30pm on Wednesday 18 June our sister church of St Bart’s is hosting the Deanery Confirmations. Bishop Will is to preside at the Mass and administer the sacraments of Christian initiation, including to some who belong to our sister parish. Please do come along if you can to support all who will be strengthened in their life in Christ.
CHURCH WATCHING
At the recent meeting of the PCC, Fr Thomas drew attention to the significant increase in income that we saw last year from donations left in the box in the narthex and in the votive candle stands. The respective increases from 2023 were just under £1,300 and £1,100. It is a great testimony to those of you who so generously give of your time to keep our church open that not only do people have the chance to experience the beauty of holiness in our building, but we as the community of faith here benefit from those who visit and leave us a donation.
APPEAL FROM OUR FOOD BANK
Our city’s food bank is in considerable need of more donations. We have been asked to flag the particular need for tinned meat, fish, tomato and vegetables as well as pasta, rice, tinned fruit, tinned desserts and instant coffee. Supporting the needy is an integral part of our Christian discipleship, so if you can offer some help, please take your donations to the food bank, which is located at the Calvary Church, BN1 4NJ. Alternatively, if you wish to donate a sum of money for the food bank to then spend on what they need, you can do so using the link: http://www.brightonfoodbank.org.uk/how-can-you-help/.
