This weekend's Gospel contains the familiar words: The harvest is rich but the labourers are few. With this in mind you might like to visit the National Office for Vocation Website for prayer, reflection, and inspiration.

Holy Hours of Prayer for our country
Since I printed the newsletter, I have come to feel that we should provide a special space for parishioners to unite in prayer before the referendum this week. With this in mind there will be two Holy Hours. In each case there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, silent prayer, and Benediction. Feel free to come and go during these times as you will:
• Tuesday: 8:15 - 9.15am — OLOL, Ashby
• Wednesday: 5.30 - 6.30pm — St Charles, Measham
• Tuesday: 8:15 - 9.15am — OLOL, Ashby

The EU Referendum
Our Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission has published this statement:
Pope Francis has urged us to ask ourselves “Who is my neighbour?” He reminds us that peace and solidarity were among the ideals which began to shape the EU from the end of World War II. As a people called by God to reflect his love in the world, we are challenged to be generous and welcoming to all others. As a nation we value mutual respect and tolerance and care about the future of our nation in the world.
The Justice and Peace Commission urge you to pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit as we approach the EU referendum on 23rd June. We ask that, having weighed both sides of the argument, you will keep the following at the forefront of your minds as you make your decision on which way to vote:
Does my decision reflect the commandment to love my neighbour as myself?
Is my decision rooted in Gospel values?
How can I use my vote to promote the human dignity of all the people of Europe?
Does my decision promote justice and peace in the world?
How can I use my vote to best serve the common good of all peoples?
You may also like to take another look at the statement from the Bishops of England and Wales which I posted a couple of months ago.

The place to be on a Tuesday afternoon
On Tuesday afternoons in term time, St Charles Church/Hall is open from 2.30 - 3.30pm. Those collecting children from our school pop in, as do a number of other parishioners. They are treated to a feast of cakes, baked by Lynne, and a cuppa.
Usually some of the children from the chaplaincy team at St Charles School visit us to present a scripture reading and lead us in a short prayer.
There is no charge, but some people like to leave an offering for CAFOD.
Please come. You will be made very welcome.
