17th SUNDAY OF THE YEAR 25th July 2010
POPE BENEDICT'S VISIT 16-19 SEPTEMBER 2010
TICKETS for the two big events with Pope Benedict need to be applied for. Please take a form from the back of tbe church, complete it, and return it by this THURSDAY 29 JULY at the latest. There is a ballot on Sunday 1 August at 7.15 in tbe Parish Room. THE NUMBERS ARE FINALISED AT THIS POINT: THERAFTER NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS CAN BE ACCEPTED. This is the stipulation of the Bishop's Conference: the very tight deadlines arc interpreted in the light of the very tight security surrounding the visit.
The two events arc HYDE PARK VIGIL OF PRAYER (not a Mass) on Saturday 18 September (evening)
COFTON PARK, BIRMINGHAM on Sunday 19 September (morning) at which Pope Benedict will beatify John Henry Cardinal Newman.
There is NO BULLETIN now until early September. There are NO 12.30 Masses on Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout August. August is holiday time, and I wish you all happy and fruitful holidays. When you arrive at your holiday destination, always find out where the nearest church is, and make your holiday more holy by going to Mass - as often as possible!

A PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART By John Henry Newman
My God, my Saviour, I adore your Sacred Heart, for that heart is the seat and source of all your tenderest human affections for us sinners, all your Divine Charity towards us. When you condescend to suffer me to receive you, make my heart beat with your Heart. Purify it of all that is earthly, all that is proud and sensual, all that is hard and cruel. So fill it with you, that in your love and your fear it may have peace.
