  • SECOND COLLECTIOns after Mass on 19th and 20th September (Evangelii Gaudium Day) for the Home Missions.

 

HARVEST FAST DAY APPEAL. Friday, 2nd October. Please donate to our Harvest Fast Day collections.  Put your faith into action and share the Lord’s love by supporting our global neighbours experiencing shortages of food and safe water.  You can support children like Tayla in Zimbabwe to stay in school by helping communities and schools provide nourishing meals, improve access to water, and grow food in school gardens.  Use the CAFOD envelopes in church or donate on-line at cafod.org.uk/envelope or call 0303 303 3030.

 

Framlingham Churches Together will be holding a service in thanksgiving for the harvest at Saint Michael's Anglican Church, Framlingham, on Sunday 11th October at 10.30 a.m. which all are very welcome to attend.  Please bring a donation for the food bank with you.  There will be a collection of tinned and packet food for the food bank.  Following this service, at around 12.30 p.m., the community is invited to a harvest Sunday lunch at Framlingham College.  The lunch is free but there will be a donations pot at the door.  Please sign your name on the list in Saint Clare’s Community Room as soon as possible, if you would like to attend the lunch, writes Claire Robinson.

 

 

  • Pope Leo's Prayer Intentions:

September. For the care of water.  Let us pray for a just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it.

October.  For mental health ministry. Let us pray that mental health ministry be established throughout the Church, helping to overcome the stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illnesses.

November.  For the proper use of wealth.  Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and solidarity of those who have less.

December.  For single prent families. Let us pray for families experiencing the absence of a mother or father, that they may find support and accompaniment in the Church, and help and strength in the faith during difficult times.

 

 

  • THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED.   

Anniversaries of deaths (from 1997 to present) which are recorded in the parish's Register of Death, can be found on the calendar page of this website:  HERE

 

  • THE  eucharistic  fast. 

Since November 1964 the Eucharistic fast has been reduced to one hour.  This means that food and drink may always be taken up to one hour before the time of receiving Holy Communion.  Water does not break the fast and so may be taken at any time before receiving Holy Communion. 

The Canon Law of the Catholic Church indicates that no period of fasting, before receiving Holy Communion, is required for those who are sick (Canon 919.3).  Members of the Church who are looking after the sick, and wishing to receive Holy Communion with them, whenever they are unable to observe the fast without inconvenience may receive Holy Communion.

 

  • SAFEGUARDING.

Children who need to use the toilet while at the church must always be accompanied by their parent or guardian.  This is a requirement of the Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency (CSSA), which is our Church’s national safeguarding agency.
