PRIESTS’ TRAINING FUND/VOCATIONS SUNDAY: There will be a
second collection at all Masses THIS weekend, 14th/15th May to support the
costs of educating those young men from our Diocese who are training for the
priesthood. “We currently have twelve men who are training for the priesthood
at four seminaries: St Mary's College, Oscott; St Alban's College, Valladolid,
Spain; The Pontifical Beda College, Rome; and the Venerable English College
Spain. This represents a modest increase in recent years. The diocesan vocations
service runs a monthly discernment group for men who are interested in the
priesthood and the Quo Vadis Group for High School Boys who wish to find
out more. It also engages in a number of initiatives to help all young people
reflect on their Christian vocations - eg presentations to 15-year-old students and
11-year-old pupils and to Confirmation and altar servers' groups - and it liaises
with the diocesan youth service concerning events such as the diocesan
pilgrimage to Lourdes and World Youth Day. In addition, there is an ongoing
preaching mission throughout the parishes of the diocese. Please give generously
at Mass next week to help finance our students' studies and the work of fostering
a culture of vocations in our diocese.” Fr Paul Grogan, Vocations Director.

RISING TO THE OCCASION! Fr Pat expresses appreciation to parishioners at the Church of the Assumption who – at
very short notice (minutes!) – were able to arrange a worthy celebration of a ‘lay-led Liturgy’ last Sunday morning when he was
prevented from getting to the church by the Leeds Marathon road blocks. The Liturgy of the Word was provided, and the
Rite of Holy Communion reverently undertaken, all supported by the usual prayerful and lively singing - for the benefit of all
present. Well done everyone!
PARISH FINANCE AND PROPERTY COMMITTEE: Minutes of the recent Meeting (Wednesday May 11th) will be
accessible on the Parish Web site, and a number of copies made available in each church, as soon as possible.

donations can be given to Carole Cooper or Mary McCormick. Thank you.

addresses given at the top of this bulletin.
THANK YOU: “to everyone who donated for Jessica and Amelia Guilfoyle's marathon run raising money for the National
Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery who saved their brother Sam's life. Amelia did it in 4 hours 25 minutes and Jessica
did it in 5 hours 32 minutes. We're very proud of both of them. They raised over £6000 for the hospital. Sam is doing very
well at Pinderfields Hospital and has some slight movement in his arms and legs which is very different from the prognosis we
received in September. Back then the doctors told us he would be paralysed from the neck down. Thank you to everyone for
your prayers for Sam. He is a little miracle and every day shows us the power of prayer." Veronica Guilfoyle.
