BOOK YOUR HOLY MASSES
--------------------------
This weekend we celebrate Day for Life. This day, inaugurated by Saint John Paul II, presents an opportunity to pray for the gift of life from conception to natural death, to raise awareness of the precious gift of ife, and to support the work of protecting life in its most vulnerable stages through the annual collection. This assists pro-life organisations who raise awareness, engage in parliamentary work and pastoral otreach
Congratulations to the families of Connor Doherty and Aurelia Tindley who will be welcomed at the 8.45am Mass before their baptisms next weekend,
Also to Katarina Lees and Simon Byrnes who were married at St Teresa’s on Saturday.
From July we will be introducing car stickers which will make it easier for the Bekanscot car park attendants to identify cars belonging to parishioners who are attending church related functions. The stickers do not guarantee a car parking space nor do they allow parking for any other purpose. The stickers are not compulsory but are designed to alleviate any dispute about parking at busy times.They will cost £5 and will be available from the parish office from this week. Names of purchasers and car registration numbers will also be taken.
Please note…. Wednesday - 9.30am - Service of Word and Communion followed by exposition until 10,30am at St Teresa’s led by Deacon Brent. On Thursday there will be Mass at 7.30pm
Money matters,,, last week’s collection for St Teresa’s came to £717.88 and for St Dunstan’s £264.90. This weekend there is a retiring collection for Day for Life. Next week for Peter’s Pence.

Ther London and Slough run…. Thank you for all your invaluable contributions during the pandemic.
