If you are between the ages of 13–18 (Yr 8–13) and would like to take part in the Youth Mass, come along this Sunday and join us.

THANK-YOU
Francis Manton and David Shetcliffe who many sponsored for their 15km run in aid of their school trip to Bolivia to help build an orphanage, have left envelopes on the porch table for you to put your contribution which can then be placed into the offertory basket. They are most grateful for all our support and we wish them well on their trip.

CCRS – What is CCRS?
The Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies is one of the best choices for those wishing to get a good overview of the main themes and topics in Catholic Theology. The certificate is awarded by the Bishops’ Conference Board of Studies. The course is flexible and is taken on a part-time basis. Those who take part on the course range from those who simply wish to try and get a better understanding of Catholic theology to catechists, school governors, teachers and parish pastoral council members. For more information about the CCRS please come along to one of our information evenings for a full explanation of how CCRS runs in Westminster Diocese –
14th June 11.00-12.30 at Vaughan House, Victoria.
16th June 8.00-9.30pm at Westminster House, Hendon. 18th June 7.30-9.00pm at Vaughan House, Victoria and 21st June 2.00-3.30pm St. Vincent’s Parish, Potters Bar. Please call in advance to book a place. Tel: 020 7798 9150 or e-mail catdmin@rcdow.org.uk

Catechists
I would like to invite all catechists to a session given by our Diocesan Catechist Katie McMasters on Monday 23rd June from 7.30-9.00pm at Hesdin Hall (Coffee Lounge). The aim of this session is:-        

• To discover ways to recruit catechists to take part in the various parish programmes

• To consider what skills are needed and to offer practical advice for preparing the learning environment

• To explore ways in which catechists can maintain their enthusiasm
• To help catechists understand the role of discipline
• To think about what tools they need to evaluate all catechistical programmes

I do hope some representatives from all groups of catechists can be present.

Note to Users of Car Park
We are lucky to have a thriving parish community with large numbers attending mass evidenced by our very busy car park. However, during the last two meetings of the parish council, concerns were expressed about the use of the car park before and after mass The following recent examples were given:- a driver reversing a car onto Pembroke road, a driver driving the wrong way down the one-way system in West Way to enter the car park via the exit and double parking on both sides of Pembroke Road. Of course these drivers may be parishioners and/or may not be aware of the one way systems we have in place. However it was felt that it would be appropriate to highlight the concerns about safety and to make all parishioners aware.
