    OUR VALUES >

    The Parish values which we as parishioners uphold should be based on the Word of God, the teachings of the Church and our Ampleforth Benedictine heritage. Specifically, we should be a community :

  • in which prayer and worship are at the centre of our lives,
  • which is welcoming and open to all,
  • which is forgiving and is not judgemental
  • which is open to change, led by the Holy Spirit,
  • in which we all share responsibility for the mission of the church,
  • in which we each use our gifts for the benefit of everyone,
  • in which the spirit and joy of the Good News is visibly present in all our actions,
  • in which we respect and value each individual,
  • in which we foster the unity of the Christian churches and the building of good relations with people of other faiths.

    LITURGIES AND EVENTS OF THE PAPAL VISIT:

    Liturgies and Events of the Papal Visit There are beautiful booklets available for parishioners, one per family, of all that will be the official ceremonies during the Papal Visit. These are free. However the Archdiocese was given a sum to pay to the central organisation to help cover the Pope’s visit, and it paid in full. The money received from the official Archdiocesan collection was lamentably small so there is a big shortfall that the Archdiocese has covered. Therefore it is suggested that for these beautiful booklets we should make a voluntary contribution of £2 at least. This money will go to the Archdiocese to help cover the enormous expense the Church has to meet when a Pope comes to our country in 2010. There will be a retiring collection for this purpose. 

    PILGRIMS TO THE PAPAL VISIT:

    Pilgrims to the Papal events. You should have received a letter giving many details of the trips to Birmingham and London. Please return the slips to us as soon as possible. The Birmingham Bus is full, while the London bus has vacancies. Please collect a liturgy booklet from Church today as above.
