All parishioners are welcome to come to the Mitcham Annual Outdoor Mass, which will be held on the Cricket Green, Mitcham, on Sunday, 2nd July at 3.30pm. The tradition has been established for many years and is a wonderful way for us to publicly proclaim our faith. It would be useful to bring a fold-up chair with you to use on the green.
Please remember in your prayers Alexander James Douglas who died recently. His cremation is on Tuesday, 11th July at the North East Surrey Crematorium at 12.40pm. May he rest in peace.
Will host a Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress in the Echo Arena, Liverpool, 7 – 9 September 2018. This is a national pastoral initiative based on the centrality of the Eucharist. The ‘pilgrimage’ aspect denotes the faith journey of the individual person.
Who is invited? Parish representatives, catechists, extraordinary ministers, RE leaders, clergy, religious orders, seminarians, hospital and prison chaplains, who are all pastorally involved and on the front line of evangelisation. There are some 10,000 people expected to attend the celebrations from across the country. The Southwark Diocese can send 570 delegates. Each parish can select, finance and send two representatives. What is a Eucharistic Congress? This is an ecclesial gathering of lay and ordained people from each diocese in England & Wales. Participants will take part in a series of Catechism sessions, focusing on different dimensions of the Eucharist. This is a very positive opportunity for prayer, theological reflection and discernment. The following young people confirmed this weekend: Sudheha Amerasinghe, Bhashana Amerasinghe, Xander Averion, Clayson Barber, Antonia Bignoux, Molly Browne, Holly Brown, Darrel Crisostomo, Daniel Crisostomo, Sonny Carlin, Maria Dalton, Ellie-Mae Deevey, Abby Delves, Gabriella Devincenzi, Matteo Devincenzi, Johnjoe Dolan, Cameron Fitzgerald, Rhodie Ferrer, Claudia Freitas, Isobel Gaedke, Imogene Garthwaite, Chantelle Gutierrez, Shawn Janathkumar, Deancy Jeyakumar, Dion Joseph, Alisha Kasobya, Jedd Lazaro, Karl Martins, Kate Miller, Kacper Oleksiak, Joy Okezie, Aimee Plicio-Keattch, Jacko Pulickal, Priyanka Punithalenard, Josh Serrano, Daniel Vergara, Ella Vieira, Casey Wadman, Joseph Brennan, Racheal Largie-Poleon, Lavina Robinson. Please remember them in your prayers. This weekend we say goodbye to our two Jesuit Scholastics – Deacon Swami and Deacon Sandeep who have been with us at St. Teresa’s since last year. They soon return to their province in India and will be ordained priests later this year. We thank them for their time, commitment and service to our community here and we wish them every blessing in their future ministry among the people of God. Ad multos annos.
