St Therese of Lisieux
On 22nd September here begins nine days, a novena, until the feast of St Therese of Lisieux and one particlar intention we can entrust to her in this time is to fix the heating of the sisters of Mary Morning Star before the winter sets in. St Therese experienced biting cold in her convent in Lisieux and these sisters have similar problems the last two winters, to the extent needing to wear gloves indoors in their convent in Lynton. They need £10,000 to fix the heating in their chapel which is their priority, and £20000 for heating their bedrooms. They are a wnderful community and are attracting vocations so if you can help in anyway by donating yourself or contacting potential donors, please do so via https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sistersofmarymorningstar one donor has offered to match whatever is raised by October 1st - the Feast of St Therese .

Statement from the Catholic Bishops of England and Covid-19 Route Map: Step 4 Guidance
Sunday – it is our Day
On 19th July, the current legislative powers which assist the mitigations against the covid-19 virus transmission will be rescinded by HM Government. Nevertheless, there will be an encouragement to personal and corporate responsibility in this area; as the Prime Minister said in his most recent statement “The pandemic is not over.” Even without this legislation in place, the Church in England and Wales will be adopting a cautious approach to capacity and activity within our buildings, especially at corporate acts of worship.
Please read statement and see the Step 4 guidance in full

2021 - Year of St. Joseph
In his Apostolic Letter Patris Corde meaning 'With a Father's Heart', Pope Francis has declared that the year 2021 is dedicated to St. Joseph. This is to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of St. Joseph being declared Patron Saint of the Universal Church. The Pope encourages us to deepen our knowledge and devotion of this important saint, especially in this time of pandemic when, like St. Joseph, many are hidden workers doing important and essential tasks.
