children’s liturgy, tea and coffee after mass. Over the next few weeks, Fiona will be in contact to sign you up again or you could phone the presbytery to let us know your preference. We would welcome some new volunteers for these roles. As parish groups open up again, the Toddler Group will now be able to extend numbers each day from Monday to Thursday. Please let Bev know if you wish to attend on 07855 521102. If you do book, please honour the booking so that we are not turning away other people. New Servers Course will be after Half Term, see overleaf for details. Any child wishing to become an Altar Server at St Augustine’s, please come to the front of the church at the end of the Sunday morning 10.30am Mass for training. This weekend the Coventry Half Marathon will pass by Christ the King Church. I know you are used to the route now and hopefully it won’t disrupt the morning masses too much! Good luck to all the runners. We welcome Vivien McDonald as the new Headteacher at St Augustine’s School. We are delighted to have made such a good appointment and wish her every blessing as she starts her role after Easter. We hope to invite Fr Chris back to the parish on Sunday 28th November for a Thanksgiving Mass and will organise a collection for him in the next couple of weeks. I am away next weekend for a family wedding in Ireland. I will be back on Monday evening and I am grateful to the Priests in the Deanery who will be covering, making sure that we have Mass each day. Please note the extra Mass on Tuesday evening for All Souls Day and a Mass on Wednesday morning at St Augustine’s for the Holy Souls. God bless

This week we pray for those recently deceased James Lamb, Thomas Miller, John Doyle

Eileen Kerrigan, Betty Kilkelly May they rest in peace

Dear Parishioners, This weekend we celebrate the Feast of All Saints. It is a day that the Church asks us to remember all of those saintly people known to God, who have influenced so many by their good example. We may feel that we have had the privilege of knowing some people who were very saintly and had a good influence on us. On Tuesday, we celebrate the Feast of All Souls and will begin our time of prayer for the Faithful Departed during the month of November. We will have a Mass for all those who have died over the past year on Saturday 27th November at 6pm. This will be broadcast, as numbers will be limited and we will send out invitations to families who have lost a loved one this last year. We will read out all their names and light candles in their memory. The Holy Souls envelopes are now available at the back of church. Please return them to the presbytery or in the box provided at the back of church. The donations will be given to our St Vincent de Paul Society who help with those in need locally. You will know that we would like to hear your opinions about the parish and the wider Church in response to Pope Francis’ request to be a “Listening Church”. You can send me an email with comments at canon.tom.farrell@rcaob.org.uk. You can mention what you think we do well, what we need to improve and any new ideas. You can mention how you think the Church needs to change and how we need to respond to people who may feel excluded. Next week we will also have a suggestion box at the back of the church if you prefer to respond in that way. Please give this some thought as I think it is important for the life of our parish and the wider Church. The new card machines are now at the back of church and if you want to register to use your card, you can do so on http://ctkcov.mydona.com/. The machine can now take payments for your second collections and for purchases in the Piety Shop. We will be trying to resume the regular rotas for readers, ministers, altar servers,

have benefitted from the great work of Myton Hospice.

Make an Act of Spiritual Communion This can be done whilst you watch a live stream of Mass being offered by saying the following prayer: “My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.” Sacrament of Reconciliation The Bishops have asked that all should make a Perfect Act of Contrition. Perfect contrition (or a Contrition of Charity) is true and real sorrow for our sins which is created when we realise the immense love of God for each one of us. We express this contrition when we realise how we offend God by our sinful words, deeds and omissions in contrast to the immeasurable love and mercy that He continually shows us. This requires us to be contrite of heart for what we have done, know and be overwhelmed by the love and mercy of God for His children, and to approach this grace with humility and resolution not to sin again. An Act of Contrition My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.

These mass times have been agreed by the Deanery as we begin to open up churches for public

worship in accordance with Government and Church Guidelines.

You are encouraged to make use of webcam masses if this is still the best option for you. To consider

the masses during the week as there is no Sunday obligation and these masses are likely to be less

crowded. Perhaps, only think of coming to mass on Sunday if there is no other option.

The parishes will review mass times and frequency of masses over the next couple of weeks when we

have a chance to judge the numbers required moving forward.

Thanks for your co-operation. We are pleased that we can begin to come to church, but our safety

and the safety of others is still paramount and we hope that Priests, individuals and parish

communities do not feel under pressure to open churches in a way that puts people at risk.
