Parish News: Second Sunday and Week of Advent

December 2, 2022 by Guy Willis

 

Saint John the Baptist goes out to the wilderness and calls the people to repentance to prepare them for the coming of Jesus Christ. So we too each Advent are called to the same examination of ourselves so that we can be ready for the coming of the Lord.

You can read the scriptures for this week here.

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

The Faithful departed
The recently departed, all who have worshipped in and served at Saint Benet’s and those whose year’s mind falls this week.

On Thursday 8th at 7.30pm come to Saint Silas for a Solemn Mass to celebrate the Immaculate Conception. Followed by refreshments.

The Advent appeal is to support the local Saint Vincent de Paul charity who will help very needy families in our area with food vouchers for Christmas. We have already collected £334 as a share of the surplus generated by the wine tasting. Let’s see if we can get to £500!
You can use any method to donate; just let Father Guy or Ernest know that it is for the Advent Appeal.

The cover art is Saint John the Baptist Preaching to the Masses in the Wilderness by Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564 – 1638) held at the Arbroath Art Gallery.
