ALTAR SERVER TRAINING
Begins Sunday 10 November - The next round of training for altar servers at St Gregory's at 9:00 am in the sacristy. Boys and girls in who have made their first communion or those preparing and in Year 4, are warmly invited to join this truly special ministry. The training sessions which are designed to build confidence as they are an opportunity to learn the order of the Mass and all the basics of serving will be delivered in six 15 minute sessions. Is your little one restless in church with energy that could be used to serve the Lord at His altar? Have they always been interested in becoming an altar server but just haven't had time or opportunity? This is their chance to join this inspiring group of merry servers. To sign up simply, call, text or WhatsApp Valerie on 07984184914
Seeing your life through the lens of the Gospels
Luke 20:27-38
1. The question of the Sadduccees suggests that how we will be in the afterlife is a continuation of how we are here. The reply of Jesus affirms that this is not so. We are important not because of any ‘status' we might have but because we are children of God. Recall moments when you saw your worth, or the worth of another, as something other than worldly status.
2. A common tactic in an argument is to make fun of the position of another. Then one does not have to take seriously the view being expressed. Have you ever found yourself doing this? Have you experienced others doing it with you? What were the effects of such an attitude? Is there life here? If not, where have you found a fuller life?
3. Jesus' use of the phrase ‘Children of the resurrection' to describe his followers, points to the fact that we believe in something that cannot be proven. Life can sometimes present us with that kind of a challenge-an invitation to believe in things we cannot prove: another person, a cause, the value of a course of action, etc. What has been your experience of believing and acting on this kind of faith?
4. At the heart of our Christian faith is belief that death is not the end. We believe that the relationship we have with God, and that starts in this life, survives death and continues after death in the resurrection. In this month of November we recall those we have loved and have died. How has belief in the resurrection helped you in thinking about those you have loved and who are no longer with you?

WYDAN Night Shelter
Which ran from 21st to 28th October 2019 at the Newman Centre Crossgates Leeds
Thank you is almost inadequate; there were over 60 volunteers during the week, a true team effort. Some were able to offer help on more than one occasion and offering help in different areas. What an amazing week we have had, we had up to 10 guests each night, which made their home in our Parish centre. This would not have been the same without your help. Whether you donated items of food or items of clothing or gave money and equally as important, if you prayed for our guests and the volunteers who helped to make this possible. It was YOUR contribution that made this such a success. We had 2 Anglican Priests helping along with 3 nuns of our nuns, together with people from neighbouring churches and much further afield; it was ecumenical, plus there were people with no Church connection, who helped to make this a magnificent community event. Several of our guests wanted to stay another week, one said this is 5*. There will be a review meeting held on Wednesday 13th November at 7 pm in the Conference room. Please come along and bring a few nibbles to share, (only as much as you could eat yourself) sweet or savoury.

Silence during Adoration and before Mass
Please respect silence during Adoration and before Mass. These are precious times for people to pray and prepare themselves spiritually. Quiet conversations may take place in the church porch. Be confident to gently remind others of the need for silence, and if you are the one being reminded (and this includes clergy!), take it with grace and humility.

Children in Year 3 are invited to make their First Reconciliation (Confession) in the parish in March 2020. Before this they will have to attend preparation lessons after school. To explain the

Parents of children in Year 3 who attend non catholic schools are asked to contact the parish office 0113 2645260 any weekday morning so the parents can attend the meeting and the children can be included on the preparation course.
