Fr. Agustin writes: : We have reached the second half of the Easter Season, on this fifth Sunday we listen to the beginning of Jesus’ “last discourse” from the Gospel of John. For us hearing Jesus’ words at the last supper from the vantage point of our experience so far of the Easter season, is an opportunity to reflect back and come to a deeper understanding of our faith in Christ, the one who came so that the world would have life. The way, the truth and the
life is a person, Christ himself, in him the invisible God has taken human form. He guides us to the fullness of truth and of life; he takes us to the Father’s house, the heavenly sanctuary where we shall dwell with him for all eternity.

Annual WEEF Collection
Could I give my thanks to everyone who contributed to the Westminster Ecclesiastical Education Fund last weekend. We raised £ 2816.00 and all of this money will be used to both support those who are now preparing for the priesthood and to ensure that we maintain our seminary for future generations. If you have not yet made a donation, please give as much as you can. You will find envelopes at the back of the Church.
Altar Servers
In order to ensure that our records are up to date and that each server is only rostered when they are available, will all servers please collect a new Altar Server Record Form and return it as soon as possible to the box in the sacristy. Any server who does not return a form by 4th May will be considered to have resigned from serving and will be omitted from future rosters. If you no longer wish to serve please return your cassock and cotta to the sacristy as soon as possible

London Mayoral and London Assembly Elections
As you know we are all asked to vote on 1st May in the London Mayoral and London Assembly Elections. As Christians it is important we have a voice. The Christian Peoples Alliance and the Christian Party have joined forces to ensure a clear Christian voice in City Hall. The forerunners are Alan Craig; Paula Warren and Rev. George Hargreaves. The Christian party candidate for Hillingdon and Ealing is Mary Boyle. Before voting, do log on to www.theChristianChoice.org.uk so that as Christians we are informed as to the choices we have.
Folk Group
After Easter a few members gave up being part of our folk group. I am using the opportunity to invite new singers and musicians to join thereby expanding the folk group. I know that many young people at school learn various instruments or sing in choirs, so I would like to invite you to come and join us. Whatever the age if you can play an instrument or sing please contact me, Fr. Michael or see Sarah O’Donnell after a Folk Mass on the first or third Sunday of the month. Four new members have already joined so you will not be alone and this will hopefully be a fun experience while at the same time offering your talents to the Church.
