THIS WEEKEND:  We pray for priests and for vocations to the priesthood.  The annual collection for the Priest Training Fund will take place at the end of all Masses. This fund pays for the priestly formation of men for the Catholic priesthood. There are currently 49 men studying at Allen Hall Seminary, 13 of whom are from our own Archdiocese. We also have one seminarian in Valladolid and one at the Beda, presently on pastoral placement in Ruislip. There are also two on a propaedeutic year at Redemptoris Mater.  Last year 3 deacons were ordained for Westminster Diocese. The Priest Training Fund also supports the ongoing enrichment and formation of our ordained priests. Your generous donation helps ensure we can support these men who are called to be like Christ the Good Shepherd.  Donation envelopes are available from the table in the central aisle for those who wish to “Gift-Aid,” their donation. There are also copies available on the porch table, for you to take away, of the Allen Hall Seminary News.  You can also use the QR code to make your donation online or visit www.rcdow.org.uk/donations
