PARISH DAY
We are planning to hold an open day for the Parish on 4th July on St Philip Howard/St Jude’s Site. This will be the last occasion when we will be able to call ourselves a ‘Parish’ before the Pastoral Area becomes a single Parish in September. The day will be a wonderful opportunity for us all to gather together, rain or shine, to have fun, be entertained and celebrate what we have in the Parish of Fareham and Portchester.

SS PETER AND PAUL
Tuesday of this week, the Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul, is a Holyday of Obligation. Mass will be celebrated at 9.30am and 7.00pm in Sacred Heart Church.

LIFT TO MASS
A lady living at Elson would appreciate a lift to Mass. If you are able to help, please notify Joan at the Parish Office.

SCOUTS – URGENT APPEAL
“To all parents and friends of 15th Fareham Scout Group. Following the recent AGM no-one came forward to fill the post of Group Chairman. We have two months – that is until the end of term – before the District steps in to consider whether the Group can continue. It is a requirement of scouting that we have a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary as well as Section Leaders. Please contact me by 2nd July if you would be prepared to put yourself forward or if you have someone you would like to nominate for this position. I look forward to someone responding to this further appeal or, quite frankly, we are in serious jeopardy!! Yours in Scouting – Andrea Barnes, GSL – tel. 01329 283620.”

UCM have invited a member of the Air Ambulance to speak at their meeting on Monday 28th June at 8.00pm in Sacred Heart Hall - £3.00 donation. All welcome.

FIRST FRIDAY
A day retreat to pray for the Community of the Solent Pastoral Area. This is an important time as we approach the inauguration of the new Parish of Our Lady, Star of the Sea. Within this day of prayer and retreat, we will take time to reflect on the concept of community and how this will evolve within our new Parish. We will think about Mary as the Mother of our community. Come and pray with us on Friday 2nd July at St Mary’s Church, Gosport beginning with coffee/tea at 10.00am in the Upper Room.
