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.
 
FAIRTRADE... ...The usual food and beverages; delicious cookies, healthy muesli, Divine chocolate and relaxing coffee will be on sale, after all Masses on Sunday, 4th July.  Look out for the special offers!  There will also be a selection of Traidcraft Greeting Cards on sale after the Saturday and Sunday evening Masses.  The next Fairtrade sale will be on Sunday 1st August.
