Pilgrimage to the Grave of St. David Lewis

There will be no Mass or post-Mass Coffee at Our Lady of Lourdes on Wednesday due to Ivor’s funeral.

The funeral Mass for Ivor Evenden will take place at 10.00am on Wednesday 28th May at St. Teilo’s. Ivor was a long standing and committed member of the Parish Community, so please consider coming along to the funeral Mass to pray for the repose of his soul.

Canon John would like to encourage anyone who is willing and able to volunteer to act as welcomers and stewards at the Funeral Masses and Funeral Services that take place at St. Teilo’s to let him know. We have recently lost a number of key volunteers, so would welcome anyone who is willing and able to do so to email Canon at whitchurch@rcadc.org

Each Tuesday evening, the parish has an hour of silent Adoration at St. Teilo’s from 7pm to 8pm. The primary intention for the period of Adoration is vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Feel free to come for all or part of the hour to pray for the Church in its need for faithful ministers to continue the Mission of Jesus.

Heddiw bydd y gymuned Gymraeg yn dathlu Offeren yn Gymraeg am 4.30pm.  Today, we welcome the Welsh language community who will be celebrating Mass in Welsh at 4.30pm. Croeso!

Our Parish Loss and Bereavement Café is open to anyone dealing with loss and you will find a cuppa and warm welcome waiting for you. Remember your loss does not have to mean bereavement. It can be any kind of loss you are feeling and perhaps with which you are struggling. The Café takes place on Wednesday from 1.30pm to 3pm in St. Teilo’s Parish Hall. Weekly attendance is not required. Come as and when you are able. At a Loss Café – Assistance needed The At a Loss Café provides a key support for parishioners and non-parishioners who feel any kind of loss. The team which supports those with a loss, need assistance in the practical aspects of this service – i.e. people who are willing and able to make tea and coffee for the attendees. The role will involve arriving at 1pm on the Wednesdays the Café operates and setting things up in the kitchen and remaining until the end of the session. If you are able to help in this way, please email: whitchurch@rcadc.org or drop a note into the Presbytery.
