obtain complete forgiveness of sin and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates
through which grace flow are opened.”
Year of Faith Initiative:
Classic Catholic Books every month.
The April book is
“The Way”: St. Josemaria Escriva
Cost £5.
A simple concept of a spiritual book , with little points to inspire, challenge, reflect etc.
A great opportunity to have good Catholic books in the home.
Wedding: We pray for Sarah Connor and Dean who are to be married this weekend. We pray that God may abundantly
bless their love for eachother, and pray for all involved in this happy day.
Baptism: We pray for Ronnie Rouse who is to be baptized this weekend. We pray for his parents that they may inspire
their son in the love of Jesus and the Catholic Church.
Patrick O’Brien: Patrick receives the Guild of St. Stephen Silver Medal at the 6.00pm Mass after many years of
service of serving here in Dartford and in other parishes for over 20 years. We thank him for his loyal service and help
to the many priests he has come into contact with.
Rome Trip in October three days for £399: Annual trip led by Fr. Stephen which has been going for 6 years. While
this is advertised for altar servers, Fr. Stephen is happy to have any young person attending, with parents if wished, as long
