Government is making a critical decision on whether to overturn
the admissions cap which prevents new Catholic schools from
allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. The Prime Minister has
acknowledged that this policy discriminates against Catholics and
had promised previously to abandon it. Now the Government may
decide to keep this discriminatory policy in place instead of
removing it. We need you to tell the Government not to
discriminate against Catholics and to remove the admissions cap on
new faith-based schools. Visit http://catholicnews.org.uk/education-

write to the Government and urge them to drop their policy which
bans new Catholic schools.

A WARM WELCOME to those of you who have recently made the Cathedral or Holy Rosary your regular place of worship. If you are already an altar server, reader, or Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, and would be prepared to exercise your ministry here, please speak to one of the priests, deacons or sisters.
EACH FRIDAY (excepting solemnities) is set aside as a special day of penitence. The Bishops of England & Wales have decided to re-establish the practice that this penance should be fulfilled simply by abstaining from meat and by uniting this to prayer. Those who cannot or choose not to eat meat as part of their normal diet should abstain from some other food of which they regularly partake.
HEALTH & SAFETY TIP Lighting a candle is a symbol of our prayer and a way of extending it when we can no longer be there. But, please place lighted candles only in the sockets provided. If there isn’t room, leave your unlit votive candle on the tray beneath the lighted candles. It will be lit for you when there is space.
