NEWS & VIEWS

WELCOME ETHAN! A warm welcome to Ethan Jones, who this morning is to be received into the church of God by Holy Baptism, to his parents Glena and John (in Fr Ken’s family) and to his Godparents and friends and family.

FINANCIAL GIVING The Parish Giving Scheme is our new online and phone-based system for financial giving to the church. If you use it, it will save us hours of work (for example, by automatically handling donations and Gift Aid) - a really big help to us. You will have full control of your giving - and there’s no need to deal with your bank. There are flyers at the back of church giving simple instructions - or go online to tinyurl.com/parish-giving for further information.

DISHWASHER Owing to a kind joint donation we have a new dishwasher in our kitchen. A big 'thank you' to the doners who have asked to remain anonymous, but whose names and generosity are known to God!

OBAAPAYI OHEMAA ASO, RIP At 5pm on Saturday 20 August there will be a Requiem Mass for Fr Jacob’s mother. Jesu Mercy, Mary pray.

PATRONAL FESTIVAL At 10am on Sunday 11 September we will celebrate the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a Festival Mass followed by a buffet lunch. This is an important occasion in the life of our church each year and we look forward to seeing all the church family together. Nearer the time we will be looking for some help with catering and preparations.

EDWARD ARTHUR FELLOWES PRYNNE on Saturday 1 October in St Peter’s Church Ealing, an art expert (and Director of the DeMorgan Foundation) is to give a talk on this late-Pre-Raphaelite artist. Commissioned in 1916 by his brother-in-law the Revd Hubert Valentine Eardley-Wilmot, then our Vicar, he painted our beautiful Stations of the Cross, and St Peter’s has a similar painting - Christ Before Pilate.
