CHOIR CONCERT
Our thanks to those who supported the Summer Concert. £274.00 was raised towards the cost of the organ keyboard.

We wish all the Staff, Governors and Pupils of St Jude’s School a relaxing Summer break.

NEW MISSAL TRANSLATION
You may have heard that approval has been given by Rome for the new Missal translation. This is only a generic approval for the “base text” of the Missal and not an approval for any specific country and the text is still apparently being revised, even though it has been ‘approved’ with no definite timetable for completion. Some English speaking Bishops’ Conferences have requested modifications and no one knows whether or not these requests will be granted. Approval by Rome of a specific text for England and Wales will only take place when that text is received by our Bishops’ Conference along with the specific approval for those countries. Current plans indicate that we may start to use the new texts of the Order of Mass in May 2011, with accompanying catechesis around the diocese during the period May-July. The full Missal itself may start to be used in September 2011. If approval from Rome is delayed, these dates may be put back.
