This Week’s Mass Intentions:

Ask St Joseph! Ahead of his feast, let us all pray a novena to St Joseph. We will pray the Litanies of St Joseph after Mass daily. We start today, Sunday 11, and will end on Monday 19 included.

Communal intention: funding for a Shrine pastoral Centre. As our activities grow in number and diversity, the need for dedicated spaces also increases. Let us pray for benefactors and for a smooth administrative process to acquire or build St Mary’s pastoral centre.

Please join in the novena even from home or work if you cannot attend Mass here daily.

Young Adults Group Sat. 17 March, 1-4pm: Talk by Fr Loewenstein on “What is truth?”

Young Adults & Professionals 18-35 Group
All welcome: bring your friends along

Saturday 17 March 2018
Usual Schedule:
1pm-3pm/4pm: pizza lunch followed by talk and discussion on:

“What is truth?” 

Such was the question asked by Pontius Pilate to the Lord Jesus, after He had affirmed: “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” (John 18:38) 

Is there such a thing as truth? How does it differ from opinion, and from error? Can one be sincerely mistaken? If truth exists, how can one find it? How to share it while respecting the freedom of others? 
Come and reflect on this important topic, led by Fr Loewenstein, FSSP.

Please respect any safety notices and instructions that may be given. Thank you.

New Website: www.fssp.co.uk

 Holy Communion Reminder:

To receive Holy Communion, one must be 1) a Roman Catholic 2) in state of grace (no grave sin unabsolved on one’s conscience) and 3) have fasted for at least one hour.

In the traditional Latin rite used at St Mary’s, Holy Communion is received kneeling (if one can), and in any case on the tongue: thank you very much in advance.

Please hold Communion plate against your throat if no server is available.

Please use the entire width of the Communion rail, from one wall of the church all the way to the opposite wall, avoiding any gaps. This will make distribution quicker. Thank you.

Watch Holy Mass at St Mary’s daily on www.livemass.org. The Mass of the day can be watched for 24hrs and that of the Sunday for the entire week.
