This was on 9th December. A card was sent from our community. Ad Multos Annos Father!

REFRESHMENTS LAST SUNDAY
Our use of the Faraday Community Centre last Sunday was a great success, with about 50 people there and a
children’s playground to enjoy. Watch this space for future visits!

CHRISTMAS COLLECTION FOR THE BEDFORD APOSTOLATE
By Fr Nicholas’s kind agreement, the collection money from the Latin Masses at midnight and at 8.30 am on
Christmas Day will go to support the work of the FSSP Bedford Apostolate.  If you want to make a personal gift
to the FSSP priests, then please do so outside of the collections, making it clear that it is for their personal use.
 Thank you.

ACCESS TO THE SACRAMENTS
If there is the need for sacraments — baptism, confirmation, sick calls etc — please contact Fr Goddard on
telephone number 0118 966 5284 or by email.
