Fr Behr’s Thoughts for the Week
Father Behr writes:
Dear Parishioners,
On Saturday 12 July at 2pm we have a service of thanksgiving for the ministry of Deacon Jolyon in our parish over the last 14 years.
After the service there will be refreshments followed by the presentation of a gift from the parish. A big thank to all those who contributed to the gift for Jolyon.
This Sunday we welcome Bishop Paul Hendricks, area bishop for Kent. He will be coming to celebrate a special Mass on Sunday in thanksgiving for Jolyon’s diaconal ministry in our parish over the last 14 years.
This weekend Jolyon will be preaching, and resources are available for men who are considering a vocation to the Permanent Diaconate.
On the Archdiocesan Diaconal Day, we pray for the Permanent Deacons serving in our Archdiocese as well as we pray for new vocations to this ministry.

Parish AGM
On Friday 5 September we have our parish Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is a great opportunity to come together. Our Finance Committee will present an overview of the spending and we can have plenty of time for reflecting on our parish.
David Green suggested we have fish and chips together from 6pm and then open the meeting for 7pm. There will be a sign up sheet for the fish and chips nearer the time.
Please put the date in your diary. More details and agenda for the AGM will be available nearer the time.
Fr Behr
