will be a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form with the Blessing of Candles at 6pm. On Thursday 5th
at 10am St Wilfrid’s School will come to church to celebrate Candlemas with a Mass & Procession.
Parishioners, especially parents, are welcome to come and join them.
BLESSING OF SAINT BLAISE
Tuesday is the Feast of St Blaise. We will have the traditional blessing of throats (a bit late for many
of us!) after the 12.10pm Mass.
THEOLOGY ON TAP
The next meeting of Theology on Tap will take place in the Royal Oak in Goodramgate (not the
Lamb and Lion) on Tuesday, 3rd February at 7pm. The topic will be the justice - or not - of war.
Matthew Feldman will talk and lead the discussion.
APPEAL IN CHURCH
There will be a presentation and appeal after all Masses next weekend by Fr Richard Biggerstaff and
Alvin Blossom of the St Barnabas Society which supports those who find themselves in financial
difficulties as a result of becoming Catholics.
TALENTS’ FUNDRAISING
Those who accepted the Talents Challenge please return your envelopes to the Rectory, or one of
the priests. To enable us to check off the returned envelopes please print your name. Thanks to all
who have already returned their envelopes.
ANOTHER CAFÉ WITH CAKES
Chris and John Megone will be serving coffee and cakes for the Talents’ Fundraising after the
10.30am Mass on Sunday, 8th February.
TALENTS’ WINE TASTING
Marion Hall and Oonagh Donnelly are running a wine tasting evening at 7.30pm on Friday, 13th
February in the Upper Room. The date is significant. The bad luck is that you will find out what you
like just in time to give it up when Lent begins the following Wednesday!

next week but there is a list at the back of church for those willing to help with the Friday Lunches
