He was the second longest-serving Pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX who served for 31 years from 1846 to 1878. Born in Poland, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since the Dutch Pope Adrian VI who served from 1522 to 1523. John Paul II is recognised as helping to end Communist rule in his native Poland and eventually all of Europe and significantly improved the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. He upheld the Church's teachings against artificial contraception and the ordination of women, supported the Church's Second Vatican Council and its reform, and in general held firm to orthodox Catholic stances. He was one of the most travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, he beatified 1,340 people and canonised 483 saints, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five Our Catechetical programme for First Holy Communion will begin again with a Parents’ Meeting this coming Wednesday 22nd October to be held in the Parish Meeting Room at 7pm. The first session for the Candidates is Wednesday 5th November at 5pm. DON’T FORGET!

From The Fathers ………… Teacher We Know That You Are True They called him teacher and truly he was. Yet they were only pretending that he was a teacher one honoured and praised. They pretended that he would simply open to them the ministry of his heart as if they wanted to be his disciples. This is the first power of hypocrites to simulate praise. They praise those whom they want to destroy. Their art is to incline human hearts towards simplicity of a kind confession through the delight of praise. They take small steps, a little at a time. Please pray for those who are sick or housebound: 6.00 pm Reader 1 Reader 2 Welcomers Alex & Paddy Lagarejos The collection on Sunday 12th October was £827.09 Incomplete Work of Matthew MINISTRIES OF SERVICE — Sunday 26th October 8.30 am Collections and Mass Attendance CLEANING-Week Commencing 26th October Catherine Entwisle 27th October Paddy Lagarejos & Pat Harris 2nd November Ted Ball 3rd November Frank & Jean Prestwich If you wish to add or remove any names on this list please contact Patricia in the Parish Office.
