POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR MARCH 2019: Evangelization: Recognition of the Right of Christian Communities. That Christian communities, especially those who are persecuted, feel that they are close to Christ and have their rights respected.

LATIN IN LENT
During the season of Lent the music at Mass needs to be more sombre in tone to reflect the season. We will therefore sing the Mass setting to the simplex Latin tone at the 6pm Vigil Mass and 11am Mass. Music and text can be found in the hymn book (number 505 for the Sanctus and 509 for the Angus Dei). There is of course no Gloria sung or said during Lent and the word Alleluia is not used until Easter.

WHERE IS ST PATRICK?
As St Patrick’s day falls on a Sunday this year the Sunday Solemnity has to take precedence and so St Patrick’s day is not observed liturgically in England and Wales. We do of course ask for his intercession and remember in our prayers the Church and people of Ireland. St Patrick, ora pro nobis!

SECOND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND:
CAFOD “Family Fast Day”. Drought, floods and storms are having a devastating impact on our global family. Through CAFOD’s global Church network your support can reach to the ends of the earth. At the 11am Mass at All Saints, CAFOD partner Rawan who will be sharing with us her work – equipping and empowering Palestinian and Jewish young people to bring change to their communities so as to build a more peaceful and egalitarian society. We welcome her to our community

PRAYER OF HEALING FOR THE
VICTIMS OF ABUSE IN THE CHURCH

God of endless love,
ever caring, ever strong,
always present, always just:
You gave your only Son
to save us by the blood of his cross.

Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace,
join to your own suffering
the pain of all who have been hurt
in body, mind, and spirit
by those who betrayed the trust placed in them.

Hear our cries as we agonize
over the harm done to our brothers and sisters.
Breathe wisdom into our prayers,
soothe restless hearts with hope,
steady shaken spirits with faith:
Show us the way to justice and wholeness,
enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy.

Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts,
heal your people’s wounds
and transform our brokenness.
Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace,
so that we may act with justice
and find peace in you.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

MASS STIPENDS FOR AFRICA
Fr Francis, the Parish Priest of St Agatha’s Church in Mongu, Zambia, has kindly offered to say a Mass for your intentions. St Thomas Aquinas and All Saints have been supporting St Agatha’s Parish over a number of years through our Parish charity Sepo. There is very little income to support the priests in the Parish and Mass Stipends for your Intentions would go a long way to help.
If you would like a Mass said by Fr Francis please:
Write your name on an envelope. Write what / who your intention is for and enclose an offering. We suggest a donation £10 per Mass. Please mark the Envelope “SEPO”. The envelope can be placed in the collection basket, handed in at the Parish Office or given to Fr Christopher or Fr Benedetto.

ARE YOU AN EXPERIENCED SELLER ON Ebay?
Help is needed to sell items online to raise funds for our Parish Charity SEPO. If you can help please contact Angela White on 01908 648994.

FR CHRISTOPHER
Over the coming week Fr Christopher will be in Rome as part of the preparations for the Extraordinary Month of Mission in October called for by Pope Francis. The task of organising this and providing resources has been given to Missio. Please hold the planning group in your prayers. Do be assured that Fr Christopher will hold the parishes in prayer each day and most especially at the Mass in St Peter’s Basilica. In his absence please refer all clergy matters to Fr Benedetto.

With every blessing for the week ahead

PARISH PATRONAL SOLEMNITY
As a Parish family, we will be celebrating this Sunday the Solemnity of St Thomas Aquinas, priest and Doctor of the Church, who is the patron saint
of our Parish community. The readings and propers at Mass are therefore those proscribed for the Feast Day rather than the Sunday. Last year Ms Nina Delisser kindly presented the parish with the gift of a Holy Relic (first class) of St Thomas Aquinas complete with documents of authentication. The veneration of Holy Relics is a rich part of Catholic tradition and piety and helps us to make a real and tangible connection with the Saints who have gone before us. The relic of our Holy Patron will be processed into Church and placed in the sanctuary during the 6pm Vigil Mass, 9am Mass & 11am Mass with the opportunity to personally venerate the relic at the end of Mass. St Thomas Aquinas, ora pro nobis.

POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR JANUARY
Evangelization – Young People
That young people, especially in Latin America, follow the example of Mary and respond to the call of the Lord to communicate the joy of the Gospel to the world.

DEMENTIA Friendly MASS
3 pm Tuesday 29th January:
St Thomas Aquinas Church
An opportunity for those with Dementia and their carers to come together to celebrate Mass and spend some time together in a friendly and supportive environment.

THE DOWRY TOUR OF OUR LADY OF WALSINGHAM
During the course of 2018 to 2020 the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham from the Slipper Chapel at the Catholic National Shrine and Basilica will be taken to each Cathedral for a three-day triduum of prayer, as part of the preparation for the re-dedication of England as the Dowry of Mary in 2020. The statue will be visiting Northampton Cathedral between 7th and 9th February. This Tour is groundbreaking and is coming at a very important time in our nation’s history. Each visit has Mass – Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament – silence – devotions – powerful intercession – the invocation of the Saints and Martyrs of England and Wales. This is our opportunity to show our own devotion to Our Lady of Walsingham. Please keep the tour in your prayers. “When England returns to Walsingham, Our Lady will return to England” Pope Leo XIII

PARISH PATRONAL SOLEMNITY – Next Sunday
On the Weekend 26th-27th January we, as a Parish family, will be celebrating the Solemnity of
St Thomas Aquinas, priest and Doctor of the Church,
who is the patron saint
of our Parish community.
Readers, please contact the parish office for the readings of that Sunday.

WEDDINGS 2019 – If you are planning to get married during 2019, please contact the Parish Office to make the necessary arrangements. There will be a meeting for all couples getting married this year on Tuesday 29th February at St Thomas Aquinas Church Meeting Room (MK2 2JE) at 8:00pm.

CELEBRATION 2019
Celebration provides religious formation to young people from year 6 up to 6th form. It is a residential weekend being held at Thornton School from Friday 23rd August to Monday 26th August. Application forms will be available in late January.

THANK YOU FROM CAFOD – the gift of water – In the arid area of Sebeya (Ethiopia) bringing clean water has been a fantastic achievement. In 2017/18 you helped the people of Sebeya irrigate their farmland by: Drilling a deep well; installing two water pumps with solar generators and providing training to maintain them; Building two irrigation reservoirs with pipelines. 1262 families now have an improved water source under 1.5km away (less than a 30 minute walk). Thank you so much for standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Sebeya.
