LIVESTREAM : There continue to be problems with the Saturday evening Livestream from SH. If this happens you can watch the Livestream from EM at 11 am on Sunday which seems more re liable. Sorry for any inconvenience.
NEXT SUNDAY PENTECOST SUNDAY—we will be celebrating the Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion of Leah and Ciari , two young women who wish to become members of the Church. The ceremony will be incorporated into the Sunday Mass. No full immersion Baptism I’m afraid (relieved). Please support them with your prayers and presence as they take this important step.
REST IN PEACE : please pray for Tom Collins and baby Barnaby Smith who have died recently. Re membering too all those who are mourning their sad loss.

We therefore believe that the reasons which have prevented Catholics from attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation no longer apply. We understand there will still be some members of our congregations who, for reasons of health, do not feel safe enough to return to Mass. It has always been the understanding of the Church that when the freedom of any Catholic to attend Mass in person is impeded for a serious reason, because of situations such as ill health, care for the sick or legitimate fear, this is not a breach of the Sunday Obligation. It is intended that this Sunday Obligation should return from Pentecost Sunday celebrated on 5th June.
UKRAINIAN REFUGEES IN RUGBY AREA – Sacred Heart Parish has begun to run a Coffee Morning and other refreshments on Wednesday mornings each week at 10am to 12 noon for members of refugee families and their hosts.

PRAYER IN PREPARATION FOR PENTECOST
Come Holy Spirit, come into my heart! Fill me with your joy, your peace, your divine power. Come and live in me. May you, Holy Spirit be my best friend and counsellor. Guide me so that I may never stray from God’s ways. Fill me with thoughts of peace. Comfort me when I am sad. Strengthen me when I am tempted.
Make me shine out with your love and be a sign for others of God’s love.
Come Holy Spirit!
