CAFOD SPONSORED WALK
Saturday 28th June
We will meet in the church car park at 1.30pm, drive to Whiteleaf car park at the top of Peters Lane (car sharing). We will do a circular walk through the picturesque Chilterns around the Chequers estate, which will be approx 10K. The terrain is mainly flat with a few inclines. The footpaths are dry and well walked. Then we will return to the clubroom for Tea and cake following the ramble. We would be delighted if parishioners could join the Cafod group, and there will be an option for a shorter walk if required. The walk will be at a leisurely pace and take about 2-3 hours. If parishioners are not keen to walk, all are welcome to join us for tea and cake at about 4.00pm
LITURGY COMMISSION – Holy Hour
The annual Holy Hour to celebrate Eucharistic Ministry will be live-streamed from Northampton Cathedral at 3:00pm on Sunday, 29 June, the Sunday following Corpus Christi. All ministers of the Eucharist are invited to attend in person or join via livestream and to renew their commitment as lay ministers. https://northamptondiocese.org/
DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
The Legion of Mary invites all parishioners to join in a Perpetual Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, beginning after all Friday Masses in June and continuing on every First Friday from July onwards Through this prayer, we seek to deepen our love for Christ and invite more hearts to experience His boundless mercy and compassion. May this devotion draw us closer to His Sacred Heart and inspire us to share His love with others. We welcome all to come together in faith, prayer, and devotion!
