CONVERSION OF ST PAUL LUNCH: booking closes today!
On Sunday 25 January, we have a booking at The Maldron Hotel, 31 Cannon Place.
The menu is included on the booking form – click link or find hard copies available from the narthex.
Victor will need your completed form and money (£35 per person for three courses) by Sunday 11 January.
PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
We meet at 6pm on Monday 19 January at St Bart’s to pray together the Luminous Mysteries. All are welcome.
MASS INTENTIONS
For those of you who attend Mass on a weekday, you will know that we have a specific intention that we offer at the altar. Sometimes, a priest will be asked to offer Mass for a person’s own private intention, perhaps someone close to them who is unwell or who is departed, including on the anniversary of death. If ever you would like a Mass to be offered for a personal intention, do speak to Fr Thomas.
PLAQUE IN HONOUR OF PAMELA JAMES
Some of you may have seen the plaque that has recently been put in the Narthex to give thanks for all that Pamela gave to this church family, not least the substantial legacy left as part of her estate. May she rest in peace and may her example inspire us in turn to be generous with our time, talents and money.
FUNERAL PLANS
Fr Thomas has lately met with several parishioners to discuss their funeral plans and to be given a record for safe keeping for when the time comes. Having something in writing not only gives us peace of mind but can also help those who will make such arrangements happen, especially if they are not familiar with what a Christian funeral comprises. If, then, you would appreciate the chance to meet with him, please do be in touch.
CHURCH WATCHING
We are incredibly blessed here at St Paul’s to be able to have our church building open for several hours each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This is only possible thanks to the selflessness of our team of church watchers, two of whom are always on duty when the building is open to the public. It would be good to expand this team, and so if you might be able to give some of your time to the very worthwhile cause of enabling more people to experience the beauty of holiness here, please have a word with Fr Thomas. Even if you feel you can only give time on an irregular basis, perhaps to cover one of our existing team being on holiday, your contribution would be much appreciated.
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/.
