Teenagers’ group? While we are blessed with the growing scout/guide groups in Bedford, and whereas we plan for more frequent altar training for boys, it does leave space for a different kind of get-together for children between 13 and 17. Register interest and share ideas with us as to age-range, activities, and location.
Next monthly trek for young adults to the Harlington and Sharpenhoe Clappers on Sat 22nd August July, with Fr McGonagle, FSSP. Meet at 11:00 at The Carpenters Arms pub on 14 Sundon Road, Harlington, LU5 6LS. If you are an unmarried Catholic 18-35, text Dominic 07960066743 to be added onto the WhatsApp group.

Congratulations to our catechumens Sam Kelleher and Claudine Sabet on their holy Baptism and Confirmation last Sunday at Chesham Bois.
Please pray for them as they prepare to be united in holy Matrimony on Sat 12th September, 1:00pm, at Chesham Bois.
Fr McGonagle has returned from the FSSP summer camp, First Mass up north, and visit home, while Fr de Malleray is going away in his family for vacation. Until further notice please contact Fr McGonagle directly for any urgent pastoral need.
Do schedule a visit to your home by Fr McGonagle, FSSP (conanmcgonagle@fssp.org), especially over this quieter summertime.
Thank you for your generosity toward sponsoring our Chaplaincy coach to the March for Life on Saturday 5th September. You allow us to invite any further pilgrims onboard for FREE if money is an issue. Chaplaincy clergy will be onboard. More spaces to fill!
Park for free at All Saints’ car park in Kempston (our usual Sunday church) and board our bus. The bus will take us all the way to the Emmanuel Centre, and back. Let us go together to this major pro-life event. A sensational announcement by the organisers: for the first time, 14 UK Catholic bishops will attend.
Please email Theresa (bedford@fssp.org).
Visit www.marchforlife.co.uk/2026-event-page for more info and how to get involved.
Scout/Guide leaders urgently WANTED: Want to help build God’s kingdom in Our Lady’s dowry, but not sure how or where to begin? Now is your chance, with us in Bedfordshire!
