WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS and thanks for joining in our Celebration. We hope you enjoy your time in York. Young children are most welcome to be part of the Children's Liturgy at the 11am Mass. Tea and coffee will be served in the Upper Room after the 11am Mass, to which you are specially invited. It helps the parish if tax-paying visitors could use the small white Gift Aid envelope (found at the back of church) for any offerings they are likely to make. For every £1 you give, the government gives us back a further £0.28. Thank you for your help.
FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION 'Listening' : The readings from scripture and the chants between these readings form the main part of the Liturgy of the Word. Scripture tells us about God's love for us. As a sign of respect we stand as we listen to the Gospel. We also prepare for the Gospel by singing the Alleluia; we make a small sign of the cross on our forehead, our mouth, and our heart to symbolise our readiness to welcome God's Word into our life. Parents Meeting : Wednesday 15 January 7.30pm Childrens Gathering : Saturday 18 January 10.00am Parish Celebration : Sunday 26 January 11.00am RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Our first meeting of 2003 will take place on Tuesday 14 January at 7.30pm in the Upper Room.

CATECHISTS COURSE: I am pleased that six of our parishioners have applied to do this Diocesan Course. It takes place on Tuesday evenings for the Central Vicariate at St Aelred's, Tang Hall and is led by Caroline and Kit Dollard from Ampleforth. EUCHARISTIC DEVOTION: Each Thursday we have an opportunity for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 9.00am to 11.30am. This is a very special time of prayer and because the Blessed Sacrament is exposed it is necessary that at least one person is present all the time. If you would like to commit yourself to half an hour or more please put your name on the list in the porch. ROTAS: Ministers of Word and Eucharist and Counters - please pick up your new rota from the table under the stairs.
