JUBILEE TALK
On February 19th at 7 pm in St Teresa’s Church, the first of a series of activities planned for the whole of the Jubilee Year will take place. Cannon Derek Turnham, parish priest of St Anne’s Wendover, will give a talk entitled ‘Origins and Reflections’, which will gently explore some of the history behind ‘Jubilee’ followed by prayerful consideration of the Jubilee Icon. We are hoping as many parishioners as possible from St Teresa’s and St Anne’s, as well as others in our area, will join us. Refreshments will follow the event. Please fill in your name on the Sign-up Sheet in the narthex if you'd like to hear more about how we can grow in our faith and serve the wider community this Jubilee Year!

NEXT WEEKEND 2ND COLLECTION
Racial Justice Sunday 15th/16th Feb 2025 The theme for Racial Justice Sunday is: “Pilgrims of Hope: Our Journey Together Towards Racial Justice”. “This year, the Catholic community is invited to reflect on the journey towards racial justice- past, present and future – by asking: ‘How far have we come, where are we now and what remains to be achieved?’ It is hoped that our Racial Justice Sunday 2025 collections will not only assist, but inspire the People of God to continue walking and praying together on the path to
racial justice.”
