To celebrate the gift of Priesthood during this Jubilee Year, Archbishop Mark, has invited all the priests of the Archdiocese to gather with him for three days, from Tuesday to Thursday this week. The clergy will celebrate the gift of the Priesthood together and reflect on how they can live out this gift even more fully. Due to this event, there will be no Mass or Adoration at St. Teilo’s on Tuesday this week, and no Mass and Coffee at Our Lady of Lourdes on Wednesday. Those whom Canon John would normally visit with Holy Communion this week will be visited on the following Tuesday.

From Monday we return to the liturgy of ‘Ordinary Time’ in the Church’s year. For those with their own weekday missals you will need to find the prayers and readings for Week 10 of Ordinary Time. The weekday readings are from Year 1 of the two-year weekly cycle. It will be week two of the four-week cycle of psalms at Morning Prayer.

Today 8th June we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, the day on which the Holy Spirit inspired the Apostles to go out and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is still with the Church and He inspires each one of us anew today to proclaim the message of Jesus to a world that needs His presence and His love.

During Lent, the Parish Lenten sessions focussed on the theme of the Jubilee Year - “We Dare to Hope”. For those who weren’t able to take part in these sessions, the ‘We Dare To Hope’ booklets, developed by the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and with a forward by Archbishop Mark, are available for all parishioners to take home and keep as a prayer and reflection aid. The booklet is on the theme of Christian Hope. The relationship between the virtue of hope, our lives and the source of all hope, Jesus, is explored. Wisdom from the saints is offered for the spiritual growth of readers. Quoting St. Claude de la Colombière the book reflects: “My God, I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You, and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things”. The booklets are provided to the parish for free.
