printed form at the back of church – please note on it
whether you want to sponsor a set of Year B books. If you
have not sponsored previously, there is a blank sheet to

all three years for £18. Please see Craig or Nicki Aburn for
more information or to sign up.
TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
Today the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a
special collection for Missio, his official charity for overseas
mission. Your prayers and donations today will support the
work of missionaries and young churches as they share
faith, build churches and provide healthcare and education,
often in difficult and dangerous circumstances overseas.
The World Mission Sunday collection will go in it’s entirety to
support mission projects worldwide that bring God’s love
and message of dignity for all. Please give what you can
and if possible, please use the Gift Aid envelopes if you are
a taxpayer. Every gift makes a real difference to people
living in poverty who are yearning to hear the Good News of
God’s love for them.
DIOCESAN YOUTH RETREAT: BELIEVE @ BOURNEMOUTH
Young people aged 16 to 30 are warmly invited to this
year’s diocesan youth retreat which takes place from Friday
31 Oct, 5pm, to Sunday 2 Nov, 2pm, at St Peter’s School,

as Pope Francis said: “The best instrument to evangelise
young people is other young people.” The retreat is ideal for
post-Confirmation teenagers & will include engaging talks
on the essentials of Catholic faith, Mass and opportunities
for Confession, workshops and discussion groups, and time
for participants to meet & socialise with other young
Catholics. Last year over 100 youngsters from around the
diocese participated. Bishop Philip will celebrate Mass over
the weekend. To book, e-mail: info@youth2000.org or visit
www.portsmouthdiocese.org.uk/youth.
The
suggested
donation is £60 for those who are working, and £45 for
those who are students. More details from Will Hince, retreat
coordinator, on 07780 221686.
