There will be a ‘soft launch’ on 9th September at 10:30am to meet and greet all the new inquirers. If you are interested to find out more or know anyone who wants to know about the RCIA and the programme, please contact the Parish Office or the RCIA Co-ordinator. We are also looking out for prospective catechists to join the team. If you want to join the St Teresa’s RCIA catechists’ team, we will love to meet with you on 15th July at 10:30am at the church.
On Tuesday 25th July there will be a coach trip leaving St Teresa’s to Eastbourne for senior parishioners. There is a £5 returnable deposit in order to save a space. PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE SHEET IN THE NARTHEX. The coach will leave the church at 9am and will leave Eastbourne at 4pm.
What a wonderful day was had by parents, children and godparents. So many helped to celebrate this special occasion in blessing all those who have been baptised in the past few years and are starting their journey of faith within the Catholic family. May God bless them, their families, their friends, their teachers and all who will guide and instruct them throughout their lives. Amen.
Seafarers and fishers play a vital role in all of our lives, but they often work in difficult, hazardous conditions. In the last year, more crews have been abandoned by their employers than ever before. Many are still being denied the right to leave their ships for even a short break away from the relentless noise and pressure onboard. Many are reporting more stress and poorer mental health. Sea Sunday is Sunday 9th July. It is when the Church prays for all those who live and work at sea. Your support will make a big difference to seafarers and fishers in need. You can donate in church, by visiting www.stellamaris.org.uk/donate, or by texting ‘SEA’ to 70460 to donate £5. This collection is vital to enable Stella Maris (formerly called Apostleship of the Sea) to continue its important work - so please give generously. Thank you.
Peter’s Pence is the name given to the financial support offered by the faithful to the Holy Father as a sign of their sharing in the concern of the Successor of Peter for the many different needs of the Universal Church and for the relief of those most in need.
