The Renew programme of Masses
Ss Alban and Stephen Catholic Church have agreed to a series of charismatic
family masses, one a month for the next few months, starting in June 2008
at 4:30pm at Maryland Convent, Townsend Drive, St Albans, Herts.

Due to the holiday season we will not be having a charismatic
mass in August, the next one will be in September, date to be confirmed later
this week.
On Sunday 15th June, we had over 100 people come to our first Charismatic
Mass and everyone enjoyed the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in such a
great location.
Following
mass, the Convent Sisters of Mercy have permitted the use of the hall for
teas, coffees and a cold family meal. Attendees should bring their own packed
meals. We will finish
after food by 7pm.
Attendees are politely asked not forget their obligations to their usual
masses. We would not want to leave any parish without any of its ministries
due to their attendance.
Ss Alban and Stephen parish weekly donation envelopes will be gathered
during the collection and passed to the presbytery as usual.
The small church hall can only take 200 people so we would ask that
you email us at renew@albanstephen.com if
you wish to attend giving details of numbers in your family. Should you wish
to volunteer to assist please make offers through the same email account.
Parish Priest Fr Charles
Sweeney asks local parishioners to continue to consider their own individual
calling during these masses. In particular, there are vacancies for catechists
in our parish first communion, baptism and confirmation programmes. If you
have a child passing through any of the programmes; have a gift of teaching;
or simply a heart for this vital work then the parish would like to hear
from you. You will be provided with training and support. Volunteers should
contact the presbytery. |
