Corpus Christi - Sunday 22 June is the Solemnity of The Most Sacred Body of Christ (called ‘Corpus Christi’). Mass will be followed by procession with the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction. If you have rose (or other) petals, please bring them to church on Saturday or Sunday morning. Thank you.

Sunday 22 June - There will be simple Evening Service at Fleet Old Church, followed by cake and refreshments. All are welcome. Parking is possible on the adjacent field.

Assisted suicide - It is our duty, as Christians, to speak up and to act when legislation is so blatantly against God’s laws. God is the Author and only Lord of life—only he can give it or take it away. His commandment is clear: “Thou shalt not kill.” Please fill in, sign and post the card you received this morning. It should be addressed to Lloyd Hatton MP. Taking away life, one’s own or another, is a grave sin and the more vulnerable or the more innocent that life is, the greater the sin is. In Ezekiel 3,18-19 we read: “If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die’, and you give them no warning, and do not speak to warn the wicked from their wicked way, in order to save their life, those wicked persons shall die for their iniquity; but their blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and they do not turn from their wickedness, or from their wicked way, they shall die for their iniquity; but you will have saved your life.” On the Day of Last Judgement we will have to give account of our decisions, including the times when we should have spoken up and yet we did not! Feel free to take more cards to be sent by your family and friends who agree with the intrinsically evil nature of this proposed law.
