My dear friends,
There is a lot of bold typeface in this months Kalendar!
The first, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, always falls on the Friday after Corpus Christi: there will be two Masses on that day to enable as many as possible to celebrate the Feast. Later comes the Feast of one of the Parish patrons, S Alban followed two days later with that of the English martyrs John Fisher and Thomas Moore. The Nativity of S John the Baptist opens the last week before the final Sunday is the transferred Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul: Holy Days of Obligation falling on a Saturday or Monday in Ordinary Time being kept on the Sunday. In the middle of the month we have this year the opportunity of celebrating our Diocesan Patron, S Richard, whose relics were transferred to the Shrine in 1276.
June also sees S Barnabas’ Day . There will be the usual 12.30 celebration here, however we are all invited to join Fr. John and his friends at Hove that evening at 7pm and I hope as many of you who can will support this part of the Wagner Community.
While the Parish Office will be as busy as usual, space will be becoming limited as we prepare for the Summer Fayre, one of our major Fund raising events. If you are able to help in any way Friday afternoon or on Saturday (June 21st and 22nd ) please speak to a member of the Fund Raising Committee and everyone make an effort to come and support us.
With my love and prayers,
Fr, Trevor
