Notices
After Sunday Mass - there is tea and coffee in the hall, please stay if you can, especially if you are new to the church. We would love to say hello to you.
Sick & departed list - On the kneeler, under the Venerable Bede window. The list is on the Lady Chapel altar during the week; feel free to add names to it at any time.
May Devotion - A very first May Devotion day at St. Paul’s in honour of Our Lady on Saturday 31 May. 9.30am: High Mass; 10.30am: Holy Rosary followed by drinks and bring-and-share picnic in the gardens. The day ends with a Procession with the Statue of Our Lady, the Litanies of Loretto and a short Benediction. Everyone is invited — those who think the day might be too long for them, they are most welcome to participate only in some of the programs!
Summer Fete - The stall list is now up on the noticeboard. If you can run a stall or would like to help on one, please put your name on the sheet. Bottle tombola: we are collecting bottles for this stall. Please gave to Shelagh/Tony Hansford or a fundraising member. Grand draw: we are collecting prizes for this draw. Do you know anyone who runs a business/café/restaurant who would be willing to donate a voucher? With any queries/suggestions please see Angela.
Summer Evening Services at Fleet Old Church - On the 4th Sunday of every summer month (22 June, 27 July, 24 August) there will be a simple Evening Service at 3pm in the old parish church of Fleet followed by refreshments. All are welcome! Free parking on the field adjacent to the old church. On these Sundays, there will be no Evensong at St. Paul’s.
Friday - After the 12pm Mass there will be the laying on of hands and anointing of the sick. The laying on of hands is a prayer of intercession and can be received by anyone for themselves or on behalf of another person. There is no need to specify who or what the prayer is for—God knows and that is sufficient. If you need some prayer, or you know about someone who does, do come and receive this ministry of the Church. The Anointing is a Sacrament and should be received well prepared (after Confession, if necessary). It is reserved for those who suffer from any illness in body, mind or spirit or are particularly frail due to age.
