News for this Week
NEWSLETTERS: We have been asked if, in common with other local parishes, we can produce a weekly printed newsletter. The Archdiocese of Birmingham has expressly stated that anything used in the Mass and provided by the parish should be 'disposed of prior to leaving the church'. This does seem to suggest that we should NOT leave newsletters or anything similar for collection by those attending Mass. A limited number of copies of the newsletter are available from the Rectory but extreme care must be taken with any subsequent distribution.
Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Sr. Breda MURPHY, who died January 19th 2020. A former Head Mistress of the School. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace:
Riky HACKETT's Funeral will be at the Wyre Forest Crematorium next Friday at 1:30 pm. Please pray for his family at this very difficult time.
Please pray for TERENCE BERNARD RICE, formerly of this Parish, who died in London on December 19th at the age of 74 years. COVID restrictions meant that his cremation took place in London. His family hope for a reception and blessing of his ashes in St. Ambrose's at a later date.
Eamonn DALTON will be brought to the church on Wednesday, January 27th at 5pm, and his Funeral Mass is on Thursday, January 28th at 1:15 pm after which he will be buried in Kidderminster cemetery,
The Funeral of Daniel TWOMEY has been arranged for Wednesday, February 10th at Stourbridge Crematorium. May they rest in peace.
