28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C) Ps4 13th Oct 2019 This Sunday, October 13, Blessed John Henry Newman will be canonised. Theologian, scholar,

educationalist, poet, novelist, convert, cardinal and blessed are some of the outstanding titles of John Henry

Newman we can celebrate on the occasion of his canonisation in Rome next Sunday (October 13th). Blessed

John Henry Newman was one of the most prominent converts to Catholicism from Anglicanism of the 19th

century. He was already an esteemed Anglican theologian when he founded the Oxford Movement to return

the Church of England to its Catholic roots, before himself converting to the Catholic faith. He was renowned

as a brilliant thinker and was made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. He died in Birmingham in 1890, aged 89,

after founding the Birmingham Oratory. Cardinal John Henry Newman might well be the patron saint of

ecumenism.

Renovation Work on The Parish Centre: The bulk of the works are now

complete & I’m sure you will agree when I say that the hall looks

wonderful! The Grand Opening party that was held on Friday 4th October

was a big success & it was great to show all the people that have worked

so hard on the renovation our gratitude.

We have to say an enormous thank you to Mark Burrell, Sean Moore &

Darren Borman who have worked so hard to get teams together & have

made the renovation possible.

The hall is such a wonderful addition to our community & it will serve us

for many years to come.

Thank you again to everyone for your generosity in helping in our

fundraising efforts. We still have a ‘building fund box’ at the back of the

church should you wish to donate - all monies collected mean we are a

step closer to raising the full amount that has been spent on the Parish

Centre - thank you very much to those who have donated to the box so

far! We will also continue to have a second collection on the last Sunday

of the month to help reach our target!

Please be advised that all activities within the Parish Centre will now

resume.

Any donation is to be made payable to St Saviour’s & should clearly indicate

that it is destined for the building project - if you have a gift aid number please

remember to note it.

Next week there will be a second collection for

Mission Sunday – Prayers & donations made to

Missio on World Mission Sunday make a huge

contribution to the growth of our church all

RCIA 2020: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process

developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to

Catholicism who are above the age of infant Baptism. Candidates

are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs & practices.

Adults that wish to join the Roman Catholic Church should complete

the ‘initial enquiry’ forms that we have at the back of the Church.

These need to be handed back to Fr Richard by the 31st Oct & he will

then meet with you on an individual basis to discuss further! (Please

note, all are welcome & it does not affect the process if you have

been Baptised or not).
