JOINT PARISH PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM: 20th– 22nd MAY 2025: thanks to the 23 people who have already expressed an interest in going. Are there any more?  We hope to stay the Catholic Pilgrim centre, Elmham House, in the middle of Walsingham town. It's recently been renovated with en-suite facilities and all mod cons! The daily rate for bed, breakfast and evening meal is approx. £95.00 depending on bedroom size. There are no more en-suite doubles available but there are plenty of twin en-suites. At this stage, it is just an expression of interest, and no money is required. We hope to hire a coach that will depart both Chapel and Buxton. If you’re interested, please let Anne Parker (07866 867409) or Deacon Don (07581 786753) know this weekend.

THIS SUNDAY IS THE 4TH WORLD DAY OF GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY.
The theme chosen for this year by Pope Francis is “Do not abandon me in old age” (cf. Ps 71:9). It seeks to underline how loneliness can sometimes be the companion of the life of many elderly people.See www.laityfamilylife.va

NEXT WEEKEND: Fr Hugh Davoren will be leading Mass. Fr. Hugh was parish priest of Bakewell and Hassop for 15 years until last summer when he retired to Chester. He belongs to the religious order, The Holy Ghost Fathers, now the Spiritans. He previously ministered in Nigeria and Geneva.

SAFEGUARDING UPDATE:
All Eucharistic Ministers are now required to have an up to date DBS in place whether you are a Parish Visitor or not. Please see Margaret Swift if you do not have one or if it requires renewal. 
There is also now a requirement for all volunteers in a DBS checked role to complete Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA) training. This is available online to access individually; alternatively, we will be holding some group training sessions in September/October. Margaret will contact all DBS checked volunteers with details over the next 2 weeks. 

If you would like to include anything in the newsletter, please ensure that we receive it by Wednesday of the week before to allow sufficient time for printing.
