NEWS AND NOTES
If you are a visitor to Saint Vincent’s this weekend, please feel welcome! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Here is some information to help you feel at home:
HARD OF HEARING? There is an Induction Loop System installed in this Church: if you wear a hearing aid, please turn it to the ‘T’ setting.
Refreshments after Mass: Everyone is very welcome to stay behind after Sunday morning Masses and share a cuppa! Tea and Coffee are served in the Parish Centre on the opposite side of the carpark after 9.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. Sunday Masses.
Toilets: The toilet is located near the side entrance: children should not go out of Church unaccompanied. Please use the disinfectant wipes to clean all surfaces after every use—dispose of them in the bin but do not flush them down the toilet. Thank you.
Saint Vincent’s Parish Centre: The Parish Centre is available for parish use and outside bookings. Please contact Robert Allen on 0758 320 7810 for all enquiries.
Please pray for each other, and especially those who are ill or afraid. If you require help
Please do not hesitate to telephone Father James on 01706 645361
Baptisms are by appointment: please collect one of the Information forms from the porch for details of what is required
and the next steps in the process. Anointing of the Sick Please call the Presbytery to ask for this Sacrament.
It should not be left until the last minute, but the sick should celebrate this sacrament to receive God’s help, healing and comfort.
Marriage is also by appointment. Please take an information leaflet and return the tear off portion to arrange a pre-Nuptial interview.
Please do not make bookings before this interview and note that six months’ notice is required.
Initiation of Children First Holy Communion is celebrated in Year 3 — registration for 2023 will begin in July this year.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is offered in Year 8 (though we are currently also “catching up” with Year 9 pupils):
young people attending Catholic High Schools will be contacted directly: if your child is at a non-Catholic School,
please speak to Father James for an Application Form.
Initiation of Adults It is my hope to begin a course for Adult Baptism/Reception into the Church soon.
Please watch this space!
