2nd Collection: Peter’s Pence
We extend a warm welcome to visitors and new parishioners
Called to be witnesses of charity Pope Francis has repeatedly
called each of us to "open our eyes and see the misery of the
world, the wounds of our brothers and sisters who are denied their
dignity, and let us recognise that we are compelled to heed their
cry for help!"
Peter’s Pence The Peter's Pence Collection we take today unites
us in solidarity to the Holy See and its works of charity to those
in need, providing the pope with the financial means to respond to
those who are suffering as a result of war, oppression, natural
disaster and disease.
Urgent Appeal: Sleeping Bags/Blankets The Faversham Refugee
Solidarity Group is urgently appealing for these two specific
items. Due to ad hoc and unsuitable alternatives, migrants are
returning to the bull-dozed ‘jungle’ site in Calais, and to the
local lorry-parks or industrial areas. Local police and CRS riot
units routinely water or pepper spray any bedding found temporarily
vacated by migrants either shopping, meeting others or going to the
toilet.
If you have unneeded, good-condition sleeping bags or blankets
stored away, please help. See the accompanying notice or the poster
in the church.
Mary’s Meals - Liberia Thanks to the generosity of individual
members of the parish, last week we sent £630 for their specific
project providing meals to children in Liberia.
Please pray for the sick and housebound members of our parish:
Audrey Bampton, Aida Berens, Shelagh Bradley, Millie Castelino,
Freda Costa, Thyra Coulson, Bridie Fordham, Carol Gostling, Barbara
Harris, Jeanne Harvey, Mauney Isaac, Leo Kane, James Kilcoyne, Ruth
Mackay, Barnaby Marchant, John McGill, Denis Lloyd, Joan
O'Sullivan, Julian Philips, Emma Taggart, Brian Taylor, Elizabeth
Toolan, Joshua Wilkinson and Fr Wilfrid, also for Tracy
Harmsworth.
Please remember in your prayers all those who have died
recently, especially Kathleen O’Leary, Errol Montrose, Grace Walker
and Lotty Hilden, and those whose anniversaries are about this time
including: Martin Liddle, Theresa Schmeill, Arthur
Mitchelmore-Hawkins, Daisy Aylett, Mark Richards, Gertrude
Screeton, John Regan, Ron Galligan, Pat Chapman and Augusta
Lewis.
May they and all the faithful departed, through the mercy of
God, rest in peace.

you.
The Future of Teynham? Important Meeting
Our future use of the Methodist Chapel in Teynham is uncertain.
There will be a very important meeting for all interested and
concerned parishioners at 2.00 pm at Teynham on Sunday, 2nd July.
Rev. Helen Letley, representing the Methodist Circuit for this
area, will be present to help us understand the situation more
clearly.
Thanks from Rob and Meridy Harris Rob and Meridy thank
parishioners for their greetings, blessings and prayers on the
occasion of their Golden Wedding Anniversary last weekend. At 10.30
am Mass, it was good to be in a church filled with joy, song and
even spontaneous dancing! May many more happy years be theirs.
Tim and Sarah Thatcher rejoice! We offer our congratulations to
Henrietta (née Thatcher) and Matthew Sawdon, who had a lovely baby
girl during the week. Tabitha Sarah Christabel was born on
Wednesday, 28th June. Congratulations!
