Peter’s Pence: 25th/26th June
This is the practice of the laity to provide financial support to the Holy See to allow the Holy Father the means to respond to those suffering as a result of war, oppression, natural disaster, and disease. Catholics around the world contribute roughly £70M annually through this collection. In 2017 this collection raised £15,191 which is fully remitted to the Apostolic Nunciature. Feast of St Josemaria Escriva We welcome to St John's the Personal Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei as they celebrate the Feast of their founder St Josemaria Escriva next Saturday the 25th June. Mass will be at 11am with Confessions at 10:30am. No 10am Morning Mass. A Series of Talks on the Divine Praises for Young Adults The next talk of the series Blessed be Jesus Christ: True Man by Father Bernard Mournian will take place on Wednesday 22nd June at 7pm in St. Mirin’s Cathedral and will be followed by Benediction and an opportunity to socialise over drinks.
