Children’s Liturgy Nativity Play: The children’s liturgy nativity and party went very well with children from both parishes attending

Staffordshire Women’s Aid is a registered charity that exists to support and empower women and children suffering from domestic
and/or sexual abuse. We will be collecting gifts for the Staffordshire Women’s Aid again this year. If parishioners could buy a small extra
gift for a girl, boy or a mum and bring them all to masses over Christmas we will ensure that they get to the refuge to be used throughout the
year to help those who are in need.

Children’s Liturgy
“God never gives someone a gift they are not capable
of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is
because we all have the ability to understand and
receive it.”
- Pope Francis
Going into Hospital: Please do let the parish priest know if you are going into hospital. Furthermore, it is ESSENTIAL that you ask for
the Catholic chaplain when in hospital. Chaplains are often no longer automatically given the names of Catholic patients. Many health care
providers (e.g. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Mental Health Units) apportion resources in line with how many requests are made so you are
actually doing the Church a favour by requesting the chaplaincy and sacraments whilst in hospital.
Peter’s Pence: The Holy Father is grateful to the people of the Archdiocese for their generous donation and particularly for the devoted
sentiments which inspired it. He knows how much effort was involved. The Archdiocese contributed £43,139.49 to Peter’s Pence in 2014.
Church Bazaar: Thank you all for helping to make this year’s bazaar a success. The Grand draw raised £1,534 and the stalls raised £966
giving us a total of £2,500.
Parish 150 Club: The next draw will take place this weekend.
