Refurbishment of the Scout/Guide Hut
As you saw attached to the newsletter a couple of weeks ago we are having a parish-based fundraising campaign for the refurbishment of the scout / guide hut. So far I have received £1308 towards this work. Any further cheques made payable to “Most Sacred Heart Church” would be most welcome, or ideas for fundraising welcome by the fundraising committee.

Fr.Michael writes:Palm Sunday begins Holy Week. On this day the Church celebrates Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem to accomplish the Paschal mystery. Of all the weeks in the year Holy Week is the one most revered by Christians. The Church, in celebrating the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, sanctifies and renews herself. The ceremonies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are, in fact, one ceremony divided into three parts. May I encourage everyone in our parish to come along to the three
main ceremonies and to participate as fully as possible in the passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Congratulations

Pilgrimage 2007 (Tuesday 18th September – Tuesday 25th September)
This year I have arranged a parish pilgrimage to Turkey in the steps of St. Paul. We will depart from Heathrow to Istanbul for a 4 star hotel in Istanbul for three nights. In Istanbul we will visit the Blue Mosque; the monuments of the Hippodrome; the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit; the Topkapi Palace; the 19th century church of St. Anthony of Padua; and the Greek Patriarchate and its Church. On the 4th day we fly to Izmir on the coast, our base to tour Ephesus where St. Paul caused a riot and the ruined basilica of St. Mary where the Church Council of Ephesus was held in 425 granting Mary the title, Mother of God. We will take a trip to the Holy House of Mary visited by both Paul VI and John Paul II and Miletus, a city visited by St. Paul. The cost of this trip for two 4 star hotels inclusive of breakfast and evening meal is £ 729.00 for 30 people; £699.00 for 35 people and £689.00 for 40 people. At the meeting last Tuesday 33 people came along who are interested in going. Anyone else interested there are brochures on the porch table and application forms from Fr. Michael. We have only 4 places left for a full compliment. Please join us.
