————————————————————————————-Sunday Mass Obligations:

With the ease of almost all the lockdown regulations, the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales have decided to reinstate the Sunday Obligations. This means that every Catholic is expected to attend Mass in Church on Sunday. However, those who, as a result of age, poor mobility, sickness or any other tenable reasons, are unable to be physically present are exempt. Full explanation of this plenary resolution on our website. Welcome Home!

————————————————————————————-BIBLE Study:  Monday 27th June 7.30pm

DVD and discussion: read Romans: 4-5

Come and join us for another session on the teaching of St Paul: “Entering into the Paschal Ministry.” While Christ’s death atones for sin; the goal of salvation is for us to share in the divine life.

All welcome for one or all of the sessions. Light refreshments available. Carshaltonparishbiblestudy@rcaos.org.uk

————————————————————————————-Synod 2023.

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! (Matt 11:15). Pope Francis has initiated a listening process for discussion in 2023. Holy Cross has already contributed to this. We need now to discuss the feedback the Diocese received from all the parishes. More importantly we should meet to help fulfil this listening process at ‘home’ in Holy Cross. Summaries of responses from the listening phase can be found on the website.
