Christmas Masses 2021

As there will be NO PUBLIC MASSES CHRISTMAS WEEKEND 24th/25th/26th December Mass will be STREAMED ON YOU TUBE as follows:

Friday 24th December
6.00pm Vigil Mass of Christmas

Saturday 25th December
9.00am Mass of Christmas Day

Sunday 26th December
9.00am Mass for the Feast of the Holy Family

The decision to cancel public Masses has been taken jointly by Fr Michael after consultation and in full support with the Parish Pastoral Councils of Knighton and Oadby Parishes. Due to the national situation with the Omicron variant of COVID and our local areas being named once again with high infection rates we feel this is the safest and most responsible way to protect each other.

We hope to resume public Masses again on the weekend of 1st/2nd January 2022 providing local conditions allow us to do so safely and responsibly.

Continuing to Prepare for COP26

World governments meet in Glasgow this coming Sunday for the COP26 Climate Summit.  Pope Francis calls us, as people of faith, to speak out and urge national and community leaders to take urgent actionnow.  We can also act now. “No act of love is too small.” Teresa of Lisieux

Tips for Week 8 of our Preparation   21. Consign fossil fuels to history: consider heating our homes with electric heat pumps, rather than gas or oil (Government subsidy from April 2022).  22. Switch to a 100% renewable energy supplier.  23. Disinvest from fossil fuel companies.  24. Improve insulation of our homes – double glazing; draught excluders; cavity wall, ceiling, under-floor and external insulation.* Pray – Think what you can do – Act – Inspire *

Loving God, we praise your name with all you have created.

You are present in the whole universe, and in the smallest of creatures.

We acknowledge the responsibilities you have placed upon us as stewards of your creation.

May the Holy Spirit inspire all political leaders at COP26

as they seek to embrace the changes needed to foster a more sustainable society.

Instil in them the courage and gentleness to implement fairer solutions

for the poorest and most vulnerable, and commit their nations to the care of Our Common Home.  We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.

(CAFOD Prayer)
