 Today, the Most Holy Trinity is our Parish Feast of Title.

First Communion for our Parish Children takes place at the 10.00 am and 11.30am Mass this Sunday. Please pray for the children, their parents and families, and their catechists.

There are a number of symbols of the Blessed Trinity in our Church. See if you can find these, (and perhaps others!) Sculpted above the outside of the main door: the shield of the Holy Trinity. Painted above the inside door of the side porch: The Throne of Mercy. Depicted in the stained glass window above the west gallery: the three Persons of the Holy Trinity.

Mass this Thursday 19th June will be at 9.30, not 9.00 am. This is because St Mary's School will be attending. The Mass will be on the theme of Corpus Christi, although the actual feast is now celebrated next Sunday. Followed by Rosary at 10.30am.

Next Sunday 22nd June is the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

Our First Communion children of this year are taking part in the 11.30 am Solemn Mass, wearing their First Communion clothes. At the end of Mass they will be leading our Procession of the Blessed Sacrament into the grounds of Larmenier and Sacred Heart School, in which all are invited to join, where Benediction will be given. The celebration will be complete by soon after 1.00 pm. If you are attending a different Mass, you can still take part in the Procession by coming into church at 12.30 pm.

Thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund, we have received a grant to help refurbish the parish centre. We provide a weekly night shelter for homeless women from November to Easter and the money we have received has enabled us to make the hall more comfortable. The West London Scouts also had their storage area made safe and easier to use. Other community projects will now be able to resume thanks to the lottery fund. This is what your money pays for when you play the lottery (if you don’t win, that is :) )
