Thank You
This Sunday our Seminarian Mark Walker will finish his first year pastoral training with us. We would like to thank Mark for being with us each Sunday; for playing in the folk group; singing in the choir and for helping before and after Masses and attending Sunday groups and First Communion classes. I hope that it has been a good experience for Mark and as we promise to remember him in his training for the priesthood, we hope he will remember us in Ruislip with affection and prayer.

Are you thinking about Becoming a Catholic?
Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic? The weekly sessions of the R.C.I.A. begin in October and carry on until post Easter. This group consists of others exploring the idea of becoming a Roman Catholic; of a theme each week exploring the understanding of faith in the Roman Catholic Church and of a priest and one or two parishioners to help you. No one will put pressure on you and you are free to leave at any stage if you feel it is not for you. If you would like to know more, then pick up a leaflet from the table in the porch or speak to Fr. Michael.

Celebration Mass
The Cardinal is to celebrate a Mass in Westminster Cathedral on Monday 16th June at 5.30pm to pray for peace in Iraq. All are welcome to attend.
