Music at 6pm Sunday Mass...
Fr. Alan writes, “ I
would like to thank all those who were concerned in any way with
preparing the liturgy, the Cathedral and the refreshments in the garden
last Sunday, and most importantly the catechists and SS Peter & Paul
School staff who gave so much time to teaching our 45 children over a
period of months. To parents who helped and those who spoke to the
children thanks too. It was a lovely day. Pray the children
develop their love of God and knowledge and practice of their faith" .

Stephen Bryant - ORGAN
RECORDING Following the
restoration of the cathedral’s magnificent Rieger organ, Stephen Bryant
(Cathedral Organist) has recorded an attractive CD of organ music. It
contains arguably the most famous piece of organ music as well as
several other delightful pieces from the organ repertoire. It has been
described as “easy listening” and is superbly presented with insightful
programme notes from Richard Jones. The CD has been produced to help
raise the funds required to pay for the recent renovation and is on sale
at the cathedral repository or from Cathedral House for £10. It is also
possible to order it online at www.cliftonms.com for £11 (inc p&p).

INTERCESSIONS ...
... Cathedral parishioners have been invited
to contribute suggested intercessions to be included in the Prayers of
the Faithful at Sunday Mass. Not an occasion for making news
announcements but the intercessions may be topical and reflect the
concern of the assembly of faith for the world. The General
Intercessions or Prayers of the Faithful during Mass should be short,
clear, and express the prayer of the whole community. Each intercession
is not addressed to God but proposes a prayer for the whole community to
share. The Church assembled prays not just for its own needs, but for
the salvation of the world, for civil authorities, for those oppressed
by any burden, for the local community, particularly for those who are
sick or have died. [General Instruction Roman Missal nn 69-71]
World Youth Day...
...2011 August 15-21 in
Madrid. “Rooted in Christ and established in Faith” – A wonderful
opportunity for young people aged 18-30 to join with others from the
Diocese and from all over the world to meet the Holy Father in Madrid,
it is hoped to take 50 from our Diocese and so far only 3 people from
the Cathedral have registered. Names should be given to Ronnie
Mitchinson at Alexander House by April 1st. This is also an opportunity
for us as a parish to support these young people with our prayers and
assistance in fund raising. .
Parish Pastoral Review...
... On Wednesday
evening about 30 parishioners attended the Parish Pastoral Review. It
was a very prayerful and convivial evening with presentations about some
of the parish activities and an opportunity for those present to make
suggestions for new parish initiatives. We are delighted to report that
Ken Wright was re-elected to the Pastoral Council and Sarah Haywood was
elected as a new member. Our gratitude to Julie Venters, who has
retired from the council, for her contribution over the past few years.
Please keep an eye on the notice board for a full report of the evening.
