Canon Chris 30th Anniversary of Ordination – Mass of Thanksgiving on the 18th July at 6:00pm in St Joseph’s Church.

The priestly journey demands immense sacrifice and unwavering dedication to Gods work. Recognizing this is not only an opportunity to offer gratitude but also to highlight the indispensable quality of sacrifice and dedication required in our own spiritual lives. Our Mass of thanksgiving for the Priesthood of Canon Chris will be a wonderful opportunity for the entire parish to come together to celebrate and to give thanks.

For those who are able refreshments will be available afterwards in the Parish garden or hall (weather depending). If you are able to bring a small plate of savoury or sweet finger food for Canon Chris’s post Mass reception please drop it into the Parish Office during the day or the Parish Room before the Mass. Pre-packaged food would be welcome for those that are able, as it would be easier to take leftovers to the food bank. Please do make every effort to celebrate with us!

From the States Traffic & Highways from Saturday 19th July to Sunday 27th July (Inclusive), Cordier Hill road will be closed for re-surfacing, therefore no access to Ampthill House, the school or the small car park by the school playground.

Please park in our car park on La Couperderie, Queens Road Medical Practice car park (at weekends only) or use other car parks further afield e.g. Odeon Car Park.

If you would like more information then please do see the states website which is www.roadworks.gov.gg

Everyone is welcome.

Parish Schola Summer Concert & Soiré Peace … Joy … Love … Hope … Unity – Saturday 16th August at 7:00pm in St Joseph’s Church.

Join us for a light and joyful me of uplifting music featuring popular hymns reshaped especially for our Guernsey audience – designed for you to join in and sing along! The Parish Schola and guests will perform summer melodies and sacred songs, celebrating peace, joy, love, hope and unity.

After the concert, enjoy an evening of cheese, wine and warm fellowship in the presbytery garden under the summer sky.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Adoration will resume after the summer Holidays in September.

An appeal please for a few more volunteers to join the Notre Dame cleaning rota. Unfortunately due to ill health and advancing years some of us are finding it difficult to fulfil commitments. If anyone who regularly attends mass at Notre Dame (or indeed any of the Church masses) feels they may be able to help out (usually once every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on numbers of volunteers) please give me a call or email me. Your help would be very much appreciated. My phone number is 07781 155892 and email is megalfie@icloud.com.

We are pleased to tell you that Father Benedict Ndikum will join us at the end of September.

We keep him in our prayers.

Have you got something you would like to share with the parish community? If so let us share the good news on our weekly newsletter.

All entries to be in by Thursday Lunchtime. Pop into the Parish Office or e-mail us office@catholic.org.gg.
