News sheet – Epiphany of the Lord

6th January 2019

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MASS
Please note that in this form of the Mass, the Church asks us to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and – if physically able – kneeling. Confessions are available before and after Mass. Refreshments are available in the church hall after Mass – please come and join us, especially if this is your first visit to Christ the King.

STANDING ORDERS
All but £50 of our Latin Mass collection money goes to support Christ the King Parish. If you would like to help to ensure the continuing presence of the FSSP at Bedford, please consider setting up a standing order to them. These need to be set up by you through your bank: account name: FSSP England (Reading); sort code 30-93-04; account number 02027330. Gift Aid forms are also available by request. Thank you.

BABY CONGRATULATIONS
Chris and Lucy Norfolk’s first child, Marc Anthony, was born on 26th December. We look forward to meeting the newest member of our congregation.

GRAND EPIPHANY SALE!
Come to the hall and see what unwanted Christmas presents people have brought to the Sales Table today! All proceeds support the work of the FSSP apostolate here in Bedford.

EPIPHANY HOUSE BLESSINGS
Epiphanytide house blessings for the Bedford Latin Mass faithful will be bestowed next weekend, 12th/13th January (an alternative date can be arranged if necessary). The blessings involve going through each room with Epiphany water and blessed incense, as well as marking the initials of the 3 Magi above the front door of the home. Please sign the sheet available today if you would like your home blessed.
