NOTICES
10 November 2024


REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
Today, 10 November, we mark Remembrance Sunday. Please note that the Mass here begins a little earlier than normal (at 10.55am) to allow for the customary Act of Remembrance.


ST MARTIN’S PATRONAL FESTIVAL
We are invited to celebrate the Patronal Festival of our sister church tomorrow evening, Monday 11 November, with Solemn Mass beginning at 7pm. Refreshments will follow the Mass.


YOUNG ADULTS’ BOOK GROUP
On Monday 18 November, meeting at the Battle of Trafalgar pub at 6pm, our young adults continue to explore the Sacraments.


PRAYING THE HOLY ROSARY
We gather here at 6pm on Monday 25 November to pray together the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. Do come along, even if you are not familiar with this devotion.


DEANERY SYNOD
On Wednesday 27 November, we are hosting here our Deanery Synod, which will begin with a Low Mass at 7pm, followed by some refreshments and then the Synod meeting itself. If you are able to assist with the serving of refreshments, please have a word with Victor or Fr Thomas.


ADVENT 2024
In our Diocese (and across the Universal Church), the start of Advent on Sunday 1 December marks the beginning of the Year of Faith. As a result, our Advent Course this year is designed to help us grow in our faith, focusing on the example of the first Christians. We will meet here at St Paul’s at 12 noon after the Mass on Wednesdays 27 November, 4, 11 and 18 December and then at St Bartholomew’s at 11am before the Mass on Thursdays 28 November, 5, 12 and 19 December.
In addition, each Saturday, beginning on 30 November, there will be an opportunity to pray before the Blessed Sacrament at 11am here at St Paul’s before Mass.


CHRISTMAS LUNCH AND GRAND DRAW
We hold our annual Christmas Lunch in church after Mass on Sunday 15 December.
The price for the three-course lunch is £15 per person. Booking forms are now available. Do return these to the Parish Office through Fr Thomas or one of the churchwardens. Draw books continue to be available. If you would like more, please speak to Susan. If you would like to contribute a raffle prize, we prefer gift cards and vouchers. Please give these to Susan.


FR SIMON HOBBS
Fr Simon, known to many of us here, has let us know that he is be inducted as Rector of Waldron in East Sussex on Monday 2 December at 7.30pm by Bishop Will. We assure him, Alvin and the people whom Fr Simon will serve of our continued love and prayers.


CHURCH WATCHING
We are very blessed to have St Paul’s open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, enabling many people to visit our beautiful church who would not do so otherwise. It would be really good if we could extend this to Fridays. Do let Fr Thomas know if you might be able to offer some of your time, even if it is just once a month for a few hours. Also, if you could support the existing team by covering a Wednesday or a Saturday now and then, do also let him know. This is a rewarding ministry and one that is 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/.
