“I am the bread of life; those who come to me shall not hunger. Those who believe in me shall not thirst” (Jn6). Jesus offers true spiritual food that endures when earthly food is gone: may you hunger no more
Staying Safe – Covid Roadmap Step 4
On 19 July social distancing and contact limits end. Our Archdiocese decrees face coverings must continue to be worn in services, so please continue wearing face masks in church and the parish centre. Contact-tracing rules remain in place, so still book places for Sunday Masses and give a contact number, and respect others’ need for social distancing.
Parishioners wearing a mask during Mass may sing if they wish (hymn books not available yet), but if you are not wearing a mask you must not sing. The choir may be able to sing together in church from September🙏. Communion to your outstretched hand will continue after the Dismissal.
Please graciously continue observing the stewards’ instructions, which are for everyone’s safety. Your co-operation has been wonderful throughout the fast-changing and sometimes confusing regulations, thank you!
In faith and safekeeping, your Parish Vision Team: Steve Bousfield, Andrew Curtis, Monica Gannon, Chris Hawkhead, Anne Pickup, Valerie Stroud.

Mary’s Magnificat Prayer of Praise
My soul glorifies the Lord.
My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in my lowliness;
Henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me, Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age, on those who revere him.
God puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly.
God fills the starving with good things, sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his offspring for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

Lord, I thank you for the wonder of my being, and for all the goodness in my life.
I thank you that you have called me that I might make a difference in the world in which you have placed me.
