Parish News: Fourth Sunday and Week of Easter

May 6, 2022 by Guy Willis

 

This week is Good Shepherd Sunday on which Jesus describes himself as the Good Shepherd. It is a wonderful image of God as our shepherd and guardian, but there is also a challenge for us: “The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice.” We must ask ourselves, do I listen for the voice of the Lord my shepherd?

You can read the scripture readings for this Sunday here. 

Please pray for:
The sick and those in need
amongst them: Conor, Chinye, Adelida, Jason, Rod, Edny & John.

The Faithful departed
All who have worshipped and served here; those whose year’s mind falls about this time.

National May Devotion to Our Lady is this Saturday 14th May, 12 noon at St Silas, Kentish Town. Street procession with brass band and lunch available for £10 on the door.

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting will be held on Sunday 22nd May at 12.30pm.

Patronal Festival of Saint Benet
Sunday 10th July – 11am
Sung Mass of Saint Benedict, Our Patron. Followed by a bring and share parish lunch and party with bouncy castle.

Monday 11th July – 7pm
Solemn Mass of Saint Benedict, Our Patron and Procession of the Relic.
Guest Preacher: Father Graeme Rowlands SSC, Vicar, Saint Silas Kentish Town. Followed by drinks.

Restoration of the Shrine of Saint Benet and Lectern 
The large candlesticks at the shrine of our patron were once beautiful but they have taken some knocks over the years; the same goes for our brass lectern from which the Word of God is proclaimed. I’ve already received a donation which gets us nearly half way towards the £1300 needed to restore them both. Would you like to contribute?

The cover art this week is a fresco of The Good Shepherd painted around 200 in the Catacombs of Priscilla, Rome.

Yours in Christ Jesus Our Lord,

Father Guy
