World Youth Day Lisbon 2023 – Details have come through of the costs and itinerary for World Youth Day next year. Please see the separate notice in the newsletter. I would like to take a group from Horsham and start fundraising. If you would like to come, please email me indicating your interest and also register your interest through the Diocesan website and/or book a place.

National Mass for Altar Servers – I am encouraging our Altar Servers to attend the National Mass for Altar Servers at Westminster Cathedral on Saturday October 1st at 2:30pm. If Servers can make their own way there with their parents or carers, I shall meet them there for the Mass. If you could email me to indicate that you are attending. NB. I believe there might be a train strike on that day that will affect Southern Trains and Thameslink, which would be problematic. So, do keep an eye on the train websites or plan for alternative means to get to town.

Parish Shared Supper and Shared Lunch in Honour of Francesco De Antonis – Please make a note in your diaries that there will be a Shared Supper and a Shared Lunch in the Hall on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd October, after the Vigil Mass and the 11:15am Mass respectively. Please bring a dish or dishes, savoury or sweet, for everyone to share. The Shared Lunch on the Sunday will be a very special celebration, as the lunch will be held in honour of Francesco De Antonis on the occasion of his 100th Birthday. I know many of us would like to celebrate with him this wonderful achievement!

Parish Pastoral Council Formation Sub-group – are meeting on Monday 3rd October at 7pm in Rooms 2/3 of the Hall.

Baby Harry RIP – May we continue to pray for Lisa and Matthew Cousins, whose baby, Harry, died after only a few days born into the world. This is heartbreaking for all the family and for our school community at St Robert’s where Lisa is Deputy Headteacher. May God strengthen them all in their grief and loss. May the choirs of angels greet Baby Harry into eternity.

With every prayer and good wish,

Fr Aaron

SILENT PRAYER

By Webmaster • August 25, 2026

“Silent prayer, a relationship of intimate friendship with God, is the basis for every Christian life.” Fr Marie Eugène of the Child Jesus We gather and follow a gentle rhythm and format: arriving in the hall, upstairs, for refreshments, followed by a short reflection on Silent Prayer in the context of Carmelite Saints. We then move into the church for a time of Silent Prayer. Sessions start at 3.30pm and end around 5pm. We meet on the first Saturday of every month with a break in August. Whether you are new to silent prayer or have been walking this path for some time, you are most welcome to join us.
