Sacrament of Confirmation We finished the preparation for this Sacrament this week. The date we have been given by Canon Paul is Thursday October 12th at 7pm. Please remember our younger parishioners who are preparing to take this important step in their lives of faith. 

Devotion for August Traditionally August is devoted to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The physical heart of Mary is venerated and not adored as is the Sacred Heart of Jesus, because it is united to her person and is the seat of her love, especially for her Divine Son, virtue, and inner life. 

Altar Servers and All Youngsters I was reminded via a Facebook Memory of a very happy afternoon spent at Codsall one of my former parishes with the parish youth group as it was there playing rounders! It was great fun. I wondered if the servers or indeed any of our younger parishioners (or the not so young we aren’t ageist!) fancied a game of rounders on the Rec one Sunday during the summer?! There’s a sign up sheet in the porch if you think you’d be around and interested. Perhaps next Sunday 6th August?! 3pm?! Or 12.30 as in straight after mass etc?! Let me know!
