Two first class meetings this week that we hope to follow up on. The evening of reflection on meditation and the climate change crisis - and yes it is a crisis. More on both, especially if we can nab Prof Stanley for another practical session before he returns to India. Watch this space.

Lots happening this weekend with the schools’ First Communion programme kicking off with parents and children getting more involved at Masses. Well done catechists.

Thanks rota readers for stepping aside and allowing. Welcome all our visitors from Italy for Sunday’s baptism.

And speaking of Italy, we recall the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis on Saturday 3rd October with Vespers at 7.00pm in St Godric’s.

The Capuchin Friars have also been invited by Bishop Stephen to preach at the 11.30am Mass this Sunday at St Mary’s Cathedral.

Our congratulations to the Capuchin Community at Tenter House Friary. A belated welcome to Bro Michael Welch to the Capuchin Community.
