| RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults | The RCIA programme is open to adults who are interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith, with a view to perhaps becoming Catholic. It is also open to baptised Catholics who may, for a variety of reasons, not have been fully received into the Church and may be seeking to make First Holy Communion or to be confirmed. Whatever your situation, we invite you to explore the RCIA further. The sessions are once a week and start at 8pm. The first informal and welcoming meeting will be on Tuesday, 31st August 2010 in the parish meeting rooms (presbytery, next door to the church). If you are interested, would like to know more or would just like an informal chat, please speak to Fr Sean. Application forms are available from the sacristy. |

| Eucharistic Ministers | During August when many parishioners are away on holiday, please would all Eucharistic Ministers go into the sacristy in good time before every weekend Mass they attend, to let the priest know that they are available to help to distribute Communion. A decision can then be made whether to have communion under both kinds at the Mass. |
| Altar Servers | During the holiday period there will not be a weekend serving rota. However we still need servers at both Sunday and weekday Masses – so please come to the sacristy whenever you are present. Altar serving is open to all who have received their first Holy Communion and we would like our young people and others to consider this ministry. If you would like to be considered for training as an altar server please contact Mr Andrew Lidstone on 020 8341 1388. |
