Dear Parishioners of St Joseph's & St Charles,

Mass for the Election of a Pope

As the Sacred College of Cardinals enter the Conclave on Wednesday, 7 May, there will be a Mass at 7.15am that morning For the Election of a Pope that can be found in the Roman Missal. Do please keep the cardinals in your prayers as they seek to discern the needs of the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

New Cleaners Rota

There is a new Cleaning Rota available at the back of the church. Thank you to all our cleaners! More volunteers are always welcome, especially if there is a group of you who want to form a new team. Please speak with Pauline Williams.

World Youth Day 2025 Rome

Two of our young parishioners, Ivane and Lenny, will be travelling to Rome with the diocese for the Jubilee of Youth & World Youth Day, July 28 to August 4.
Our UCM are leading fundraising efforts to help send them to Rome and they begin with a cake sale after school on Friday, 16 May. They welcome any donations on the day and will be selling cakes from 3.15 in the schoolyard. On Saturday, 7 June, they will host a 'Nearly new tabletop sale' on the lawn and churchyard.
We ask that people save any unwanted gifts or nearly new items or clothes - NOT JUMBLE - and donate them to the sale. We also would like any raffle prizes from businesses or individuals who wish to support our campaign. Our aim is to sell the raffle tickets in advance at the end of Masses 24 & 25 May and 31 May & 1 June for the draw on the 7 June. There will be a drop off time for donations on Friday, 6 June, after the 10am Mass and again between 2.30-3.30 the same day.
If you are interested in making a cash donation please speak with me, Deacon Simon, or Louise George. To give some idea of costs, the Pilgrim pack is £80, Pilgrim T-Shirts (hi-vis for when out with the group) £45, Flights £340, Accommodation £650 & coaches in Rome £85.

Here is this week's double-edition newsletter, and intercessions.

Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
St Joseph, pray for us.
St Charles Borromeo, pray for us.

With my prayers,
Rev. Mark McManus
Parish Priest
