DAILY HOLY MASSES

Pictures of the Confirmation of our 36 candidates last 27 July on our Flickr page.

Holy Masses on the ASSUMPTION of OUR LADY. Thursday 15^th August is a holy day of obligation, meaning that every able Catholic (from First Communion onward) must attend Holy Mass that day under penalty of grave sin. Please ask your priest in advance if you foresee an impediment and are not sure whether it dispenses you from the obligation.

Holy Mass will be offered

• at Our Lady of Ransom at 7:30am,
• and at Chesham Bois at 11:00am.

(Those times are selected as the ones more accessible for all, the “prime time” evening weekday slots being booked for English parish Masses in Bedford and Chesham.)

HOST COUNT at All Saints: BEFORE MASS please could each communicant put one host in the container by the church entrance door when walking into the church. Thank you.

Sunday All Saints: men wanted by 8:15am to set up benches and chairs, and after Mass to put them back where they were. Adults wanted to serve tea and coffee from 9:30am, and tidy up hall at 11:30am. Thank you!

Thank you for your prayers for the Juventutem annual Summer Weekend in Ampleforth 2-4 August, in which 72 took part. See pictures here : https://www.flickr.com/photos/138056205@N08/albums/72177720319441254/.

CHILDREN BEWARE: Safeguarding/Health & Safety awareness at All Saints Kempston. As stressed by our safeguarding officer William Currie last week: Because of no fence along the steep riverbank, children are strictly forbidden from being in the churchyard or hall yard unsupervised. The same applies of course for access during holy Mass to the lavatories situated in the parish hall.

Please direct all questions about this to the Safeguarding Representative William Currie telephone: 07825089336 or safeguardingfssp@pm.me
