Important notice for our Altar Servers

16/7/2020

 
We re-started public Masses last weekend. Whilst this is a much longed-for development, it comes with its own rules and regulations. 
One of the areas that we have been assessing is how best to introduce Altar Serving in a ‘Covid-compliant’ way. Because of social distancing and hygiene guidelines there will only ever be a maximum of one Server on the Sanctuary at each Mass and most of our Altar Server responsibilities simply won’t be possible. In fact, the Altar Server will only have one job: ringing the bell during the Eucharistic prayer (with the bell sanitised between Masses) The server will not have a kneeler. Because of these restrictions, we feel it’s only appropriate for Deacon Ged, the MC or one of our more senior servers to serve Mass. We have drafted a set of guidelines that these Altar Servers must adhere to together. If you would like to serve at Mass and have been serving for at least five years, please contact Jed Murphy, our MC.

An event for Readers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Picture
Following the very successful retreat for Readers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion held last November, Bishop Pat has arranged for Father Victor Darlington to host a similar day at Sacred Heart Catholic School, Camberwell New Road, London SE5 0RP on Saturday 14 March 2020.
 
Father Victor is a renowned scripture professor and teaches at St. John’s Seminary in Wonersh. His area of expertise is the writings of St. John.
 
In the first presentation he will speak about “The Journey Towards Faith in the Gospel of John”, reflecting especially on the Gospels for the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent.
 
In the afternoon session he will speak on the theme “Called to be a Community of Life” drawing especially from the 7 “I am” statements in John’s Gospels, which are used in the readings on the Sundays and weekdays of Easter.
 
All Readers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are welcome to attend. Please contact the Parish Office if you would like to go along.

Polyphony Choir's 50th Birthday - Sunday 22 September

16/9/2019

 
Picture
At the 11:30 Mass on 22 September, we will be delighted to welcome Archbishop John Wilson to celebrate Mass on the occasion of the Polyphony Choir’s 50th Birthday. We also hope to welcome Father Michael Jones, Father Philip Glandfield and Father Paul Antwi-Bosiako, alongside Father Deo and Father Tomasz.
 
Anne Rowntree took the first rehearsal on 19 September 1969, forming the Choir at Father Carolin’s request. We’re delighted that Anne will be joining us for the occasion. Terry Jupp, present on that first evening, has given uninterrupted service to the Choir ever since, and we pay special tribute to her.
We hope as many of you as possible will join us for this very special Mass, marking this great milestone in our parish history.
 
There will be the opportunity to greet Archbishop John after Mass. The Choir’s celebration in the hall afterwards is for invited past and present Choir members only.

St. Bartholomew's Youth Club

24/5/2019

 
Father Deo writes:
 
After much consultation, careful consideration, thought and prayer, I have taken the decision that the youth club in its present form will cease as of now. Plans are taking shape to restart the club, in a new format, at the earliest opportunity. Once sufficient volunteers have been recruited, and the structure agreed upon, I shall let you know. A date will then be set to get things going again.
 
In the meantime, on behalf of the parish, and in particular the youth, I should like to thank Eddie Sanders for his sterling work and commitment as club leader over the last 46 years. A celebratory event will be held in his honour.
