Hall Bookings at Holy Angels and Holy Family
All bookings must be made through the Parish Office and all payments to cover the expenses of the use of the Halls must be made through the Parish Office.
To fulfil the Diocesan and Insurance requirements anyone booking the Hall will be asked to nominate a person who will be responsible for making decisions in the event of a fire or First Aid requirements. This enables us to make the Halls available to parishioners at a “breakeven cost” without having to fund a caretaker to be present.
Harvest Thanksgiving
This year at Holy Family and Holy Angels we will be celebrating Harvest Thanksgiving on Sunday, 6th October. We would like to thanks those who prepare the Bidding Prayers and decorate the Church for Harvest Thanksgiving.
The Donations to CAFOD for Harvest can be placed in the box at the back of Church on Harvest Sunday 6th October or the Sunday before. CAFOD Harvest envelopes are available at the back of both Churches from this Sunday onwards.
Booklets with reflections for the Blessed Sacrament (Holy Communion): Have been donated to Holy Angels Church. A few are available in the book rests which you are welcome to borrow. As people are finding these helpful, we are hoping to get more of these. We would like to thank the person who kindly donated these to the Church.
An extract from the booklet:
“And just as He appeared before the holy Apostles in true flesh, so now He has us see Him in the Sacred Bread. Looking at Him with the eyes of their flesh, they saw only His Flesh, but regarding Him with the eyes of the spirit, they believed that He was God. In like manner, as we see bread and wine with our bodily eyes, let us see and believe firmly that it is His Most Holy Body and Blood, True and Living. For in this way our Lord is ever present among those who believe in him, according to what He said: “Behold, I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.” (Mt.28, 20) St. Francis of Assisi.
Next year is the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. Keep your eyes on the newsletter for future information. You can also look at www.dabnet.org/Festival50. Meanwhile the preparations continue.
The autumn/Advent there will be a further study programme on Church (communion). This will use the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium as its study platform. If you wish to lead a small group or need further information please contact Deacon John email: d.johnedwards@googlemail.com.

Anonymous Donations:
From the Bank Statement for Holy Family it seems that a number of people are making anonymous donations and we thank you for your help and support. It may be helpful to Pat King, our Treasurer, if you would kindly write on the paying in slip “CREDIT AS ANONYMOUS DONATION ON BANK STATEMENT” and once again thank you for supporting Holy Family Church.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. – This practice is one of the important ways in which we can commune with Our Lord, Jesus Christ. An hour before the Blessed Sacrament in silent contemplation is a well worth exercise. After the summer break this is to return to the Holy Family on a new day and at a new time. It will be on Thursdays from 6:15 – 7:15 pm this will then be followed at 7:30pm by Mass, if there is a priest available, or a Liturgy of the Word and Holy Communion after which there will be some light refreshments.
Prayer Requests for the sick
Deacon David Morgan, Newton Abrew, Linda Weston Michael Brandon, Patrick Quinn, Maureen Cosgrove and Sean Flynn. We pray for all those in our two Parishes who are sick and need our prayers.
The Scottish Referendum
The Scottish Referendum regardless of the ‘NO’ result, will have an effect in everyone of us in the U.K. It has highlighted that a large proportion of people in our country are unhappy with the way politics currently effect their lives and were willing to risk an uncertain future in the hope of a better solution.
The referendum may have been a wakeup call to those who govern us that they cannot just presume that everyone is happy with the way they do things. This weekend perhaps our prayers might be that we as a Nation – the U.K. might be better able to represent all views of people of goodwill
