CONFESSIONS TIMES
For the sake of confidentiality please whisper rather than speak. Our Lady of Ransom (for anyone): 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.
What a lovely day we spent at Buckden Towers the other Saturday! Over one hundred children and adults from our two congregations attended, plus many visitors. Thank you to all for supporting the event, to the adults who led children’s activities, the altar servers, and for doing well at the family quiz despite tricky questions. Send us more feedback if you have further ideas after our morning session about growing as a community. See the lovely pictures on our Flickr page: flickr.com/photos/138056205@N08/albums/.
EXPAND: Please email us if you become aware of a redundant church building, a school, a warehouse, a garage, or other with parking for sale…
Bishop David Oakley will confer the sacrament of Confirmation again to our Chaplaincy candidates next Spring or Summer. Please email us this week the names of candidates, and also for First Holy Communion.
Join the chaplaincy children (scouts and guides) and Fr de Malleray at the ROSARY CRUSADE in LONDON on Sat 12th Oct (starts 1:45pm, outside Westminster Cathedral.) This is the largest Marian event in London every year. Come and pray the holy Rosary in public, walking leisurely from Westminster Cathedral to the Brompton Oratory for the reparation of sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The roads are shut to allow the procession through and we walk behind a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima whilst praying the rosary and singing hymns. It is a great opportunity for public witness to the faith and is a joyful event.
The evening before, if you are 18-35, come on Friday 11th Oct to the monthly Juventutem 7pm sung holy Mass with homily by chaplain Fr de Malleray, FSSP (6pm confessions; 8pm social) at St Mary Magdalene, 96 North Side Wandsworth Common SW18 2QU London (12 mins walk from Clapham Junction). Meet the about 70 young adults coming from far and wide for that event.
Share with friends the beautiful pictures of our sung Mass on the feast of St Michael: https://www.flickr.com/photos/138056205@N08/albums/72177720320881239.
Thank you to our little choir who envisages now singing the Mass every Sunday.
Servers’ training on Saturday morning 26/10/24 at Our Lady of Ransom.
Contact Francis Ibabu or Rita Carroll to take part.
Monthly talk for all in Chesham Bois: Sat 5th Oct, 7:00pm by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP, at parishioners’ house near church, on the theme: “Interpreting the axiom No salvation outside the Church”. Bring wine & cheese.
Finance Update: £1,401.00/week (based on £5,604.00/month). Such is the ongoing cost to be met by the Bedford & Chesham Bois FSSP Chaplaincy, consisting chiefly of the rents for four buildings (St Alban House and the three churches where we serve weekly). Since Sunday 28th July 2024 when we started in the new Bedford location at All Saints, absolutely every penny you put in the Offertory collection basket goes to us, the FSSP Chaplaincy.
Thank you in advance for your generosity. Sort code: 30-80-27 Account number: 44025960.
The Osborn family will host the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham this Sunday and the Harvey-Craig family next week. We thank them for praying the litany of Loreto in front of the statue to the intentions of their household and of our two congregations.

Sunday Bedford practicalities:
NO MORE PARKING in car park in front of the parish hall. That space is needed by the village inhabitants and by the worshippers coming to the service after our Mass. Please park in the church car park on the road before the church (go through yellow gate), or on the smaller car park to the right of the parish hall if you have a van too high to pass under the yellow barrier of the main car park.
Use every space in all pews along the central aisle to allow best sight of the sanctuary during Sunday Mass at All Saints Church. You will see even better on weekday Masses at Our Lady’s Church.
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.
Thank you to volunteers for setting up chairs in church by 8:15am before Sunday Mass, and for setting up and cleaning the hall after Mass.
Children safety: 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.
Collection of food items for the Bedford Food Bank on Sunday 13th Oct. You may bring dried food or tinned items if you wish to donate.
Monday 7th Oct, feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, monthly Mass at Regina Caeli Academy by chaplain. Pray for the essential work of Catholic education achieved by the trustees, staff and parents for over 80 young children.
All Saints & All Souls Masses will take place both in Bedford & Chesham Bois. Schedule to be announced next week. All Saints children party at All Saints parish hall in Kempston on 1st Nov.
Pray for the sick in our congregations: four-year-old Eliah Isaac, Baby Vincent Jones, Tom and Inma Jones, Patsy Crocker, Baby Joseph Osborn. R.I.P. Carl Roberts. Please email to sick list.
