Today’s Mass Theme Thought
Today’s Gospel is a Gospel of Mercy par excellence. As Jesus’
feet are being washed by the woman’s tears, kissed and then
anointed with the ointment, Simon the Pharisee muses, “If this
man were a prophet, he would know who this woman is that is
touching him and what a bad name she has.” The woman herself knows only too well what sort of person she has been: a
woman of the city, a sinner. But in the presence of the Christ,
the Messiah for whom the Jews longed, all that changes. In the
presence of Christ she refuses to be bound by the past: the
feelings, the failings, the stares, the thoughts, the reputation,
the voices; and those terrible judgements. New life flows and
pours forth from this woman. This is what mercy is all about:
new life and new hope.

PARISH MATTERS
REPOSITORY ROTA
Is there any one in the parish who attends, or could attend, the 9.30am Mass
on Sundays who could stay in the Repository to assist customers for about half-anhour after Mass?
We are planning to set up a rota of volunteers to help with running the Repository.
Depending on how many are wiling to
help it should not be necessary to call on
volunteers more than once a month, and
perhaps even less.
Please speak with either Fr. Philip or Angela Ainsley for more information.
SUMMER FAYRE
11.00am—3.00pm
Saturday 9 July 2016
Further details about our Summer
Fayre will follow during the period between now and 9 July, but perhaps it is
time for people to think about donating
alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks,
cakes, flourishing plants, bric-a-brac of
good quality and nearly-new clothing.
We cannot accept electrical goods to
sell as this is not permitted by the
law.
Feeding the Hungry in Thanet
Many people in Thanet go without food on a
daily basis. In the church porch there is a box for
tins of food. This is taken to St. Austin’s, Margate
where the tins are given to those in need.
BOOKING THE CHURCH HALL
If you want to book the hall please telephone Brenda Fallon on 01843 604955, or email:
