IF YOU DIDN’T FILL A GREEN CENSUS CARD LAST WEEK please do so before going home today. The Census is linked with the month’s National Mass Count (which is required by the Diocese for statistical returns to Rome). It is important to register with the parish in which you reside, or where you habitually attend Mass. This can be a matter of life-or-death, as we have enquiries about next-of-kin or emergency contact. School applications rely on whether or not your family is registered in a Catholic parish, as do sacramental applications for Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation and Marriage. All information is strictly confidential under the Data Protection Act. Please complete a green card today. Don’t think: “It doesn’t apply to me”.

THANK YOU to everyone who has completed a Census Card. The first Sunday’s Mass Count was 485 (for our 4 English Masses). 210 household cards were completed, listing 420 individuals. 14 new requests were made for direct debit / standing orders, and 55 new requests for weekly envelopes. 51 Holy Hours of Eucharistic Adoration were offered, and nearly 100 people offered to participate in parish life in various ways. The next few weeks will see letters going out to all those who responded in these positive and encouraging ways, and there’ll be specific (and much-needed) financial follow-up on the forthcoming ‘Stewardship Sunday’ (see below).

COURAGE: Speaking the Truth in Love: Welcoming and Accompanying our Brothers and Sisters Experiencing Same-Sex Attraction. Hosted at Holy Family Catholic Church, Redbridge Hill, Southampton SO16 4PL at 8pm on Monday 23rd October. Speak to one of the Fathers or Brothers if you’d like to accompany one of us to this talk. There is no cost for the evening, which is sponsored by Portsmouth Catholic Diocese.

Father Philip Bochanski (Executive Director of ‘Courage International’, an apostolate that works with persons with same-sex attraction) is making a short visit to the UK. His talk addresses ways of welcoming and accompanying our brothers and sisters experiencing same-sex attraction, in a manner that is consonant with the Catholic Church’s teaching, and moral and natural law.

Fr Bochanski writes: “Our pastoral priority toward people who experience same-sex attraction, and towards their parents and loved ones, must be to welcome them in the name of Christ, and help them to understand and accept God’s plan for their lives. This talk will consider how ‘speaking the truth in love’ to someone about his or her identity, vocation, and relationships can lead him, or her, to a greater self-understanding and fulfilment in Christ”.

OUR CATHOLIC CHURCH SHOP is open every Sunday 11:30am to 12:30pm, after the 10:30am Solemn Mass.

To go to our Church Shop, leave the church by the main entrance, down the disabled ramp, and left onto Richmond Hill. Then turn left down the stone steps into the ‘Catholic Institute’ (clearly etched into the arch over the entrance). The shop is located at the rear of the small hall, where coffee and cake are also served after the 10:30am Mass.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE, continues (until 5th November). We are one of nearly 400 cities around the world, engaged in peaceful prayer vigils

Some may not feel called to pray outside these facilities, or are unable to do so. But we ask that you please pray, every day, wherever you are – especially at Sacred Heart’s extended periods of Eucharistic Adoration, every Saturday 11am-12 noon, every Wednesday 8am until 12 noon.

Please contact the Day Captain for your chosen day(s), of praying at the abortion centre, or register your choice(s) on our local roster (as part of the international campaign) at: www.40daysforlifebournemouth@gmail.com.

STEWARDSHIP SUNDAY (in a fortnight’s time) is one of the very few occasions in the year when the Parish Priest will talk to us about money – particularly about the Biblical teaching on Tithing (i.e. giving back one tenth of everything which God gives to us), and about giving regularly, responsibly and realistically. The Parish has urgent need to reverse the deficit trend indicated in the (now weekly) ‘finance box’ below.
