Bishop Barron presents the Catholic vision of death, judgment, heaven, hell, and purgatory as he journeys to Florence, Ireland, and Rome. The vision of the Church sees  beyond this world and invites us to consider a world without end. Bishop Barron shows how this vision is supported by the mystery and truth of the Resurrection of Jesus.

THIS WEEK'S YOUTUBE VIDEO:  WHAT DOES CATHOLIC MEAN? Fr Dermott O'Gorman explains the meaning of the word Catholic and what it means to belong to the Catholic Church,  which is the Church jesus founded. The Worksheet for this Youtube video is on the back of this weeks Newsletter THANKYOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR PARISH We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our parishioners, and are not asking for any more donations. We are only looking to organise things more efficiently to maximise income! This is aimed at those that: 1. Currently give cash for donations and could change to bank standing order 2. Taxpayers who do not currently gift aid your donation If you fit either category or both, then please let us help you. Volunteers will be available to assist in the Parish Hall after all Masses this weekend. Both options involve the same form. Forms will be available in the hall, or at the back of the church. Forms can also be posted through the front door of the presbytery. 1. Standing Order - The Easiest Way to Give Instead of putting money into the weekly offertory at church, a set amount can be paid automatically from your bank, either weekly or monthly. You will need to provide your account number and sort code and the amount you wish to give, on the form. We will send this form to your bank to activate. Your details will remain confidential. You remain in full control — you can amend or cancel at any time through your bank. 2. Gift Aid - Increase Your Donation by 25% at No Extra Cost If you are a UK taxpayer, you can make your donation worth 25% more simply by completing a Gift Aid declaration. For every £1 you give, the parish can claim an extra 25p from HMRC - at no cost to you. If you do not currently pay by Gift Aid and you are a UK taxpayer, please complete the Gift Aid section of the form which will count for all future donations. Please Join Us in Supporting Our Parish Let us continue to build a strong, faith-filled parish community together. If you are able, please visit the Church Hall after Mass on one of the March weekends. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our parish.
