HOLYDAYS OF OBLIGATION The Bishops’ Conference of England & Wales has decreed
the following changes to the observance from 2018:
The Epiphany, currently kept on the first Sunday after
New Year, will be celebrated on 6th January (or on the
nearest Sunday if the 6th falls on Saturday or Monday).
The Ascension, currently kept on the Sunday before
Pentecost, will be celebrated on the Thursday after the 6th
Sunday of Easter, that is, 40 days after Easter Sunday.
THE LAMPEDUSA CROSS was made from
pieces of a boat wrecked off the coast of the
Italian island of Lampedusa. This cross, given to
the diocese, bears witness to the dangerous
journeys and many uncertainties migrants and refugees face
today, is at the back of the Cathedral.
ACT IN SUPPORT OF CATHOLIC EDUCATION The Government is making a critical decision on whether to
overturn the admissions cap which prevents new Catholic schools
from allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. The Prime Minister
has acknowledged that this policy discriminates against Catholics
and had promised previously to abandon it. Now the
Government may decide to keep this discriminatory policy in
place instead of removing it. We need you to tell the
Government not to discriminate against Catholics and to remove
the admissions cap on new faith-based schools. Visit
http://catholicnews.org.uk/education-cap or search for ‘Catholic
Education’ in your search engine to write to the Government and
urge them to drop their policy which bans new Catholic schools.
PLEASE WOULD THE HOLDER of offertory envelope no. 122

priests, or place details in their envelope. NEW CONFIRMATION RESOURCE: CATECHIST FORMATION & FAMILY CATECHESIS: The next course for

PRAYER The Jesuits run a very useful website
called “Sacred Space”, which gives a prayer for
each day and a simple method of meditation.
Could be useful for those few spare minutes you
may have at lunchtime: www.sacredspace.ie
A WARM WELCOME to those of you who have recently made the Cathedral or Holy Rosary your regular place of worship. If you are already an altar server, reader, or Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, and would be prepared to exercise your ministry here, please speak to one of the priests, deacons or sisters.
EACH FRIDAY (excepting solemnities) is set aside as a special day of penitence. The Bishops of England & Wales have decided to re-establish the practice that this penance should be fulfilled simply by abstaining from meat and by uniting this to prayer. Those who cannot or choose not to eat meat as part of their normal diet should abstain from some other food of which they regularly partake. HEALTH & SAFETY TIP Lighting a candle is a symbol of our prayer and a way of extending it when we can no longer be there. But, please place lighted candles only in the sockets provided. If there isn’t room, leave your unlit votive candle on the tray beneath the lighted candles. It will be lit for you when there is space.
