Organ recital
Stephen Mann will be giving an Organ recital here in St Patrick’s on 5th July. He will perform a host of well loved classical pieces, I am sure you will recognise them all. The acoustics in our church are made for this kind of organ recital, so put the date in your diary! Entry is free, but there will be a retiring collection to help raise money to have our organ overhauled. See the poster at the back of church for more information on what Stephen will be playing.

Early Notice
Change of Mass times
On the weekend of 15th &16th June, the Deaf community are celebrating 90 years of the founding of St Joseph’s Mission to Deaf People. The Bishop is coming to celebrate Mass with them; he has also indicated he will use that weekend as his parish pastoral visit, and so will say all the masses that weekend.
Because the mass with the deaf is on the Saturday evening I am having to re-arrange the mass times for that weekend. They will be as follows:
Saturday 5pm St Patrick’s - Mass celebrating 90 years of SJMDP
Sunday 9:30am Mass at St Malachy’s with the Bishop
Sunday 11.00am Hearing and Deaf combined mass at St Patrick’s with the Bishop

I appreciate there is always difficulty when mass times are changed, but this is the only way to fit in the masses with the Bishop. Also, this is why I am giving you this extended notice, so that you will be able to make best provisions for that weekend. I feel it is very important for the whole community that we show good numbers to the Bishop, please make every effort to be there. May thanks.

Now we Pray for the sick of the Parish
O God, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realise that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world. Amen.
