Future Dates for your Diary:
-
- Rome – Assisi 26 October -2 November 2024
- Annual ‘Day with the Archbishop’ – Friday 22 November 2024
This week’s Chaplaincy Newsletter: 4 October 2024
Dear All,
I hope you have put the date of the Annual Day with Archbishop Bernard on Friday 22 November in your diary. One of the topics on the Agenda will be Guidelines on Finance and Chaplaincies: I hope we can agree on a draft to go to the Archdiocese for consideration.
The Day will take place in the Dupuis Centre, St Paul’s Convent, 94 Selly Park Road, Birmingham B29 7LL. The charge there is £30 per person for the use of the Centre and Chapel, together with morning coffee, lunch and tea before departure. This is a reasonable charge to your Chaplaincy, Eparchy or Mission.
Another topic on the Agenda will be the special Intercultural Mass on 10 May 2025 at Oscott College: to mark the Jubilee Year we will have a special focus on ‘Priestly Vocation in Ethnic Communities’. Please see whether you have any leaflets on Vocation to the Priesthood that can be available on the day. A planning session will take place Monday 14 October 10:30am at Oscott College (12:30 Mass and 1:15 pm lunch). Please let me know if you intend to be present for this.
I am attaching the text of my Reflection for the 27th Week of the Year. I hope you find it helpful; it will be recorded in the Burning Bush vlog tomorrow, Friday 4 October.
All good wishes and prayers for your ministry, Mgr Daniel McHugh
