Ministers of Holy Communion:

Would anyone interested in joining our excellent team please have a word

and/ or taking Holy Communion to the housebound.

This is a very important service to the community.

If you know anyone at all who is not receiving Holy Communion at

home and would like to receive please let Fr Bob know.

Our Lady of the Forsaken:

In 1409, a Valencian priest confronted a mob who were preparing to lynch a mentally-ill

homeless man near Santa Catalina. Father Jofre exhorted the mob to take pity on the poor soul,

instead of stoning him to death. He would later base an important sermon on this and, as a result,

Valencia would become the first city in the world to open an asylum for the mentally ill.

The asylum was run by a group of nuns, whose symbol was Our Lady of the Forsaken

(Mare de Déu dels Desamparats). Over time, this symbol grew in importance and today

Our Lady Valencia’s most well-loved and famous icon. It’s important to remember that

she embodies Valencia’s historically unique role in caring for society’s most down-trodden members.

You will see on our Lady Altar a beautiful little statue given to us by Romon's

sister in gratitude for the friendship we gave to our friend fron Valencia during

his frequent visits to Lanchester. It was always Ramon's intention to send us this

image of Our Lady and his sister Conchin and nephew Fernando have fulfilled

his wish. Please say a Hail Mary for Romon at the Lady Alter.

Help Needed: Car lifts to Church:

A small number of volunteers share a rota to collect parishioners who would

otherwise be unable to attend Mass on Sunday and return them home afterwards.

The rota requires volunteers to do this once every five weeks. As the number of

parishioners needing our help is increasing we need more drivers to volunteer

to help.

If you think you could join our group, please contact Colm Doyle Tel; 528568

or email at: colm@colmdoyle.ner

Volunteers Rota:

We are URGENTLY in need of volunteers for Welcomers and Readers for the

Saturday Evening Mass. Please contact Avril Quigley Tel: 528488
