St Saviour's News- 16 August 2020

Year of Pilgrimage - Many thanks to all who joined and supported the sponsored walk or cycle to Penrhys yesterday.  In this time of restricted freedom it was good (no matter the weather) to actually leave the city and visit the shrine and for us to pray together as a community.  It is something we’d like to build on over the next season.  It is still not too late to make a donation.  All proceeds go to St Saviour’s fundraising.               
Assumption Herbs - blessed and distributed after mass today.              
Next Sunday - Reserve your seat at St Saviour’s mass via Liz on 07718018846. We also welcome back Fr Jordan Hillebert from St Padarn’s, who will preside and preach for us.       
Next PCC - is on Wed 19 August at 7pm on Zoom.  See Fr Phelim for details.             
Geraint’s Gift - Thank you to all who contributed to Geraint’s ordination gift.  £450 was raised to buy his priestly chasuble and stole. Hopefully he’ll catch up with us soon.          
Make and Mend - there will be a general repair/clean/tidy up day of the church, inside and out on the second Saturday of September.  We start in the morning and end just after lunch.  Please join us if you can (10am-2pm) Bring your own lunch.              
Public Worship - Worship with restrictions is now permissible.  Please attend carefully to the safety instructions, posters and guidance from stewards and parish officers during the services.  During Holy Communion please stay in your seats and Fr Phelim will bring Holy Communion to you.  Social distancing remains our key safety precaution.  Face coverings may be worn,  according to Welsh government guidance, but are not compulsory.   We are not yet able to share communion from the chalice or exchange the peace.  Recorded hymns will be played but we can’t yet sing along with them.                  
Faith Nurturing - Our book group was unfortunately postponed last time - due to the heat! We will continue the book in September.  ‘In Search of a Way’ by G. Hughes SJ. at 7pm via Zoom. Contact Fr Phelim for details.  We’ll look at chapters -4-6.
