Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration – Summer Hours
The Oratory has now closed for the summer on and will re-open on Monday 15 August. There will be Adoration in the Church from 10:30am-1:00pm each weekday, Monday-Friday (excluding Thursdays). Adorers are asked to complete a sign-up for these hours using the forms in the porch at the back of the Church. Some slots still free, particularly Tuesdays 11am-12 Noon.
 
St Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio)
We will celebrate a Votive Mass of St Pio of Pietrelcina this Wednesday 6th July at 7pm. An individual Blessing of his Mitten will also take place. He last wore this mitten on 10th August 1947, the Anniversary of his Ordination. He used the mitten to cover the stigmata that he received while praying before the Crucifix in the choir loft of the Old Church in the Monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo on 20th September 1918. There will be
No Morning Mass on 6th July in St John's/St Thomas'.

Collection Envelopes
Could we kindly ask you to use the Envelopes for the 22/23 Tax Year and not the previous years as your envelope number will not correspond to this year. Secondly, please do not score out numbers, dates or whatever is printed on the envelopes, it causes numerous problems. Could you also please note that the legacy collection ceased over a year ago. If you need up to date envelopes for this Tax Year 22/23, please ask.
 
Anniversaries/Deaths
Could you please print in capitals the names of the deceased as this helps enormously in knowing who the Mass intention is for.
