Safeguarding: If you have concerns about children or vulnerable adults, please contact the FSSP Northampton Safeguarding officer William Currie: Tel: 07825 089 336. Email: safeguardingfssp@pm.me. Reminder: NO child must be left unsupervised at any time.

DAILY HOLY MASSES

CONFESSIONS TIMES

Our Lady of Ransom (adults only): Sat 10:00am-11:15am, and 20mins before every weekday Mass. At All Saints: during Sunday Mass in the room behind the organ. Chesham Bois: after the Sunday 12noon Mass if not before.

Please note that the current configuration at Our Lady of Ransom does not meet safeguarding criteria for minors. For the time being, children’s confessions are to be heard only on Sundays at All Saints.

If at Our Lady’s, then in the confessional at the back of the chapel, but for the sake of confidentiality one would need to whisper. If trying that option in the coming weeks, would parishioners please not sit in the 6 pews closer to the confessional?

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.

Congratulations to Chaplaincy Secretary Mrs Rita Carroll whose son Declan will marry Hattie Allen on 22^nd August in the Clifton Diocese.

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

Congratulations to Francis and Celia Ibabu on the birth of their baby boy Maximiliano last 10^th August.

Marriage Banns:

Marriage is scheduled on Saturday 21^st September 2024 between two members of the FSSP Chaplaincy congregation in Bedford, Mr Alex Windo, and Miss Alejandra Lopez. If anyone knows of a grave reason why these persons should not be joined together in Holy Matrimony, let they contact the chaplain. Let us pray for the young couple in these last six weeks until they become husband and wife.
