PATRICK’S PRIMARY SCHOOL INCOME Source St. Anne’s Offertory St. Patrick’s Offertory Non- Gift Aid Standing Order £303.00 £198.92 £167.77 £669.69 209 £116.62 £103.43 £136.00 £356.05 122 A Huge Thank You! I would like to express my deep appreciation by thanking everyone for the cards, gifts and Christmas offerings that you have so generously given to me. It would be impossible for me to write individual cards to you all, so I humbly ask you to accept this note of thanks. I am sure that all parishioners and visitors to St Anne’s and St Patrick’s this Christmas would wish me to thank on their behalf all those people who helped me put up all the Christmas decorations, the crib, and flower arrangements in our churches; all the altar servers, the readers and the Eucharistic ministers; all the members of the choir, all the ladies who regularly clean our churches; all the parish staff; and all those who work so hard but opted to remain anonymous. May God bless you all! Christmas Crib: Please continue to visit the crib and pray for the members of your family, living and dead. Any donations will be sent to Ebola Crisis Appeal. Requiescat in Pace: Of your charity, please pray for the eternal repose of the soul of MARY CHATTERLEY who died recently. May she rest in peace. Please also pray for all her loved ones who now mourn for her. Her Funeral Service will be held on Thursday 8th January at 11am at Stafford Crematorium. As we begin this new year, may Mary’s memory never leave us; may her image inspire us; and may her prayers bring us peace. Pastoral Letter: Please find enclosed your copy of the Pastoral Letter of The Most Reverend Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham, for the Feast of the Holy Family 27/28 December 2014. Going into Hospital: Please do let the parish priest know if you are going into hospital. Furthermore, it is ESSENTIAL that you ask for the Catholic chaplain when in hospital. Chaplains are often no longer automatically given the names of Catholic patients. Many health care providers (e.g. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Mental Health Units) apportion resources in line with how many requests are made so you are actually doing the Church a favour by requesting the chaplaincy and sacraments whilst in hospital. Monastic Experience Weekend, 13-15 March 2015, Quarr Abbey: The Monastic Experience Weekend for single Catholic men aged 18-35 offers an opportunity to experience the Benedictine way of life in the Solesmes tradition, participating in monastic work, attending the worship and sharing the silence, with talks from monks and a chance to ask questions. It will take place at Quarr Abbey, Isle of Wight PO33 4ES from the evening of Friday 13th March to the afternoon of Sunday 15th March 2015. For more information please contact Brother Duncan Smith – novicemaster@quarr.org. Employment Opportunities in the Archdiocese of Birmingham: Are you interested in working for your Diocese?
