MAKING COMING TO MASS EASIER
From next Sunday at St Anne’s the Parish Pastoral Council has decided we shall no longer book in beforehand. Just turn up! We recommend everyone sanitises before and after, wears a mask, and chooses for themselves where to sit. There will be cards available at the entrance for those wishing to keep a vacant space beside themselves on the bench. Stewards/Welcomers will be present to welcome us and direct us at Holy Communion. Mass Cards and Hymn Books will be available and we shall no longer use the screen. We can review procedures when circumstances change. Fr Gerry has invited Chapel parishioners to consider what, if anything, they would like to change.
KEEP THE LIFELINE!
Caritas and Church Leaders have urged us to write to our MPs to protest at the £20 cut to Universal Credit. They say that literally millions of poor people in the UK will be dangerously hit by the cut. Contact Robert Largan, our MP, on 01663 769779 or write to 18 Market Street, Whaley Bridge, SK23 7LP or email at mail@robertlargan.co.uk

SEASON OF CREATION 2021 – September 1st-October 4th
A home for all? An invitation from Pope Francis to celebrate and safeguard the gift and treasure of “our common home”. We shall be highlighting DERBYSHIRE STONE this week.

Do you know how many reservoirs there are in the High Peak or why the water at the St Anne’s Well is warm?

URGENT APPEAL FOR MANCHESTER AFGHAN REFUGEES
More than 1,000 Afghan refugees have already arrived in Manchester. Churches Together in Manchester and the High Peak are supporting the Co-ordinating Charity – CARE4CALAIS in gathering donations of clothes and shoes for men, women, children and babies. Also toiletries, notebooks, pens, playing cards, mobile phones and charges. Please bring them to Chapel or Buxton Church this weekend. Thanks to those who have already brought gifts and donations. We’ll make Next Weekend the final weekend for this appeal.
THANK YOU FROM ROSE GOULD for sharing my 80th Birthday. Fr Gerry stunned me with the Papal Blessing and flowers from all of you. In 1910, over 100 years ago, my Mum started at St Anne’s School, my Great Grandchildren, a 5th generation attend now, so you can see just how much this Parish means to me. Thank you so very much, everyone.
PLEASE PRAY FOR Fr John Cairns, ex Parish Priest of Marple Bridge, New Mills and Chapel, who died peacefully at home on Monday. His funeral was on Thursday in Derry.
Also for Paul Carvill who died suddenly on Wednesday.
CAN YOU HELP HIGH PEAK FOODBANK? They are struggling to supply certain items at present to their clients: donations of UHT whole or semi-skimmed milk, rice, packet meals, tinned meat, shower gel and shampoo are the items they need most. Every donation helps, no matter how small; Please leave donations at the back of church or the Foodbank. Morrisons and Waitrose have places to drop off donations too.
THANK YOU Father Anthony for celebrating our weekend Masses with us in Fr Gerry’s absence. We look forward to welcoming Fr Gerry back after his holiday.
LIVESTREAMING AFTER JULY 19TH Our Parish Pastoral Councils also unanimously decided we should continue live streaming weekend Mass at both our churches for the foreseeable future. Any comments from the live streaming community are welcome.
We have taken delivery of two memorial benches for the garden in Chapel. They are designed and built by Ben Brindley of Tideswell. They are of a modern design and simply marvellous. When you next visit the garden why not take the opportunity to view, sit and enjoy them. Perhaps you might like to say a prayer for the people to whose memory they are dedicated.
CHAPEL NEWS After Mass last Saturday evening, almost all the congregation stayed for cream teas on the lawn. They were joined by many others, some we hadn’t seen for months. It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves and to hear the babble of friendly voices! The garden looked beautiful after all the hard work. Our thanks go to all those who baked or donated gifts to the tea or gave prizes for the raffle. We raised £210.00. It is still our intention to hold a large garden party towards the end of August.
A DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY
The first-ever, at the request of Pope Francis. He says “they remind us that old age is a GIFT and that grandparents are the link between generations, passing on the experience of life to the young”.
PAT FEENEY’S FAMILY WRITE
“We send our sincere thanks for the many messages, cards and Mass Cards you have sent us and of course for the prayers of the Parish. Thank you too for the donations which will be given to Blythe Hospicecare. We thank all those who gathered outside the church for the funeral and also those who watched the Livestream. Mam was very close to the Church and gained great strength and comfort from her worship and from the friends she formed over almost 60 years in Chapel. (Pat’s ashes will be buried beside Leo, her husband, at Rosses Point in Ireland.)”

Flower Festival
Flower Festival Auction of Promises
Grand Total raised for the Flower Festival £1,812.37Many thanks to everyone who helped, particularly to Mike who acted as Auctioneer with great humour and skill and some wonderful individual bids undoubtedly came as a result of his gentle cajoling. Thanks also to Bruce who dealt with the bids, to Angela and Aileen for doing the refreshments, to Rob for all the printing and to Fr Dennis for all the advance publicity. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who kindly donated an item to auction or who bid for one or more of the lots.
We shall have a truly wonderful Flower Festival. We shall display a full list of the lots, donors & money raised at the back of the church from this evening.
Best wishes, Margaret Robinson
