PARISH NOTICES
Note of appreciation.
Thank you very much for your commitment to our parish. The Finance Committee and I have been hugely encouraged by the wonderful response to the ‘Planned Giving’ appeal, and I am writing to personally thank you for your continuous support. As Catholic stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord. It is through parishioners like you that the message of Christ will be spread throughout the community. Your support enables our parish to remain a living church at the centre of this community, welcoming to all and reaching out to those in need, and enables us to provide ministry to the whole parish. It also allows us to plan ahead with confidence to the future. It is important that we pass this parish onto the next generation in good spiritual and financial health. If you are not doing so already, I also encourage you to consider becoming more involved in parish life. Please contact myself on the parish number 020 8303 2189 or email bostallpark@rcaos.org.uk if you wish to find out more. Thank you again for taking this opportunity to grow in stewardship and thank you for returning to God some of the gifts He has given you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Innocent Ezeonyeasi, PhD
STELLA MARIS & SEA SUNDAY.
Stella Maris (formerly called Apostleship of the Sea) is seeking one volunteer from our parish to help with Sea Sunday (which falls on 12/13 July this year) in this parish. This is the day when the Church comes together to pray for seafarers, fishers and their families, and takes a second collection to support the work of Stella Maris. The volunteer will read out the appeal (which Stella Maris will provide) at the end of Masses that weekend. If you can kindly do this, please contact roland.hayes@stellamarismail.org or call 07887 893 763.
Related to that, all parishioners are warmly invited to an online webinar being run by Stella Maris on Thursday 19th June from 7:30pm to 9pm. You will hear about the work that Stella Maris has been doing with seafarers and fishers over the past year or so, including the use of the funds kindly donated on Sea Sunday last year. To attend this webinar, please sign up at: www.stellamaris.org.uk/thankyouwebinar
