Holy Angels Church Catholic Parish for Ash, Ash Vale, Tongham & Normandy
Children’s Liturgy
This week’s gospel reading tells of how Jesus healed the deaf man. As his disciples said, not only does Jesus heal, but he does all things well. We focus this week on Jesus’ healing powers and the joy he brings to our lives.
Holy Angels Art Trail
Art can be a great stimulus to thought and spiritual reflection. We have a surprisingly large number of people at Holy Angels who are artists or who have an interest in art. There are some very intereting original pieces of art in the Church and even more in the Priest’s House. I therefore welcome the suggestion that we should have one item on display each week in the church with a few words about the artist and the picture. If you have a particular piece of art work that you would like to share with our community please see Father David, Father Paul or Evelyn Gorniok.
Baby & Toddler Group
Meet every Tuesday from 10.30am – 12.00pm in St. Mary’s room, Holy Angels.

Mass Times
Further to Father David’s item below which was mentioned in a previous Newsletter, this is being repeated in the hope that more of you will give us feed back on your preferences. Unfortunately so far only a small number of Parishioners have responded and to them we say THANK YOU. However, if you want to see a change, then PLEASE let the Parish office know as soon as possible.
At Holy Angels, Ash AGM the suitability of the present weekend Mass Time was discussed. Two people asked if we could have a vote on the Mass Times. I am aware that the change from Saturday evening Mass to Sunday evening (which took place before I came) caused a number of people difficulties. I do not want to cause anyone any inconvenience. However, as the Diocese has (for the Year Book) asked us to confirm our present Mass Times for Next Year. I am taking the opportunity to consult.
Please let Rita, our Parish Secretary, know by phone, email or letter if:-
A: It would be helpful to you if the Weekend evening Mass were to be changed to Saturday
B: If the weekend evening Mass were changed to Saturday and there was no Sunday evening Mass, it would make it difficult for you to get to Mass.
A note from the office
Sincere apologies for those who have been emailing the office without success as we had thought the problem with the computer was fixed. Hopefully by the time this Newsletter goes out we will be completely sorted!! (Rita)
