PRAYER & LITURGY
Week of Guided Prayer - How does it work?
It offers you the chance to meet each day for 30 minutes with an experienced Prayer Guide, one-to-one. The role of the Prayer Guide is to help you listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit in your heart; it is the Holy Spirit who guides us in prayer. A daily, informal and confidential meeting, at a time to suit you, will be agreed with your Prayer Guide. The week starts on Sunday, 9th February 2020 at 4pm prompt - at St Joan of Arc, Farnham, GU9 8DJ. Please don’t miss out, this is for you! So pick up a leaflet/booking form from the back of the church or drop an email to stylesarah412@gmail.com. We can accept those who are housebound, so please let us know if this applies to you or someone you know. Eucharistic Adoration

For those that have recently died 
Going into Hospital?
We have four hospitals in our parish. Please remember that with GDPR the Hospitals are no longer giving our priests a list of those Catholics admitted as inpatients. If you are well enough you can request to see a Catholic priest via the nurse/ward sister. However, next of kin should also request a priest when necessary if the patient is unable to in anyway. Our priests do rely on being informed by yourself or family members, to be able to care for them. In emergency and in the Royal Surrey, you can request that a Catholic priest be called by the ward staff. |

Journey to 2030
At the beginning of Advent Bishop Richard wrote a Pastoral Letter in which he said: “Christ calls us to live lives of virtue and goodness so that we are prepared for the second coming. This Season of Advent calls us to reflect on the world around us; to see where we have been sleepwalking and failed to realise the impact of our actions. … One particular area in which we must “wake up” and seek conversion is in our attitudes towards our common home. So today I write to you about a very urgent matter about which I think most of us are at least aware, even though we may not yet have made a practical response. This urgent matter is climate change, our ecological crisis and how we care for our planet.” The whole letter can be found at: www.dabnet.org. The accompanying support material can be found at: www.journeyto2030.org. These resources will help shape our response as a parish in 2020. Baby and Toddler Groups
We have three groups that meet on: Mondays 10-11.30am in St Joseph’s Hall, Tuesdays 10-11.30am in St Pius X Hall and Fridays, 9.45-11.15am. These groups are run by Parish volunteers and hope to show God’s love in action week in, week out. They provide a welcoming space for anybody who cares for children in our parish and local community. They encourage friendship and support to families at this important time of life. We always need more volunteers for this vital ministry. Find out more and contact us: www.cpg.church/baby.html
