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.

EPIPHANY HOUSE BLESSINGS
Due to the increased size of our community and other commitments, our priests will not be able to offer house
blessings in 2023. Blessed Epiphany water and chalk will be available for your own use.

ACCESS TO THE SACRAMENTS
If there is the need for sacraments — baptism, confirmation, sick calls etc — please contact Fr Goddard on
