A Day of Teaching, Reconciliation and Healing

with the Bishops of Ebbsfleet and Richborough

Saturday 7th March - 10:30am - 3:30pm

“From the hands of Jesus”

This Saturday two Bishops will be joining us at St Mary & St Giles for a major Teaching Day on two of the Sacraments left to his Church by the Lord.

The day will start with a Mass with hymns followed by Tea or Coffee (some volunteers to do this would be very helpful). After the break for coffee Bishop Keith will talk to us about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and he comes to us well recommended for this following a similar talk at the Caister Conference last year. There will be opportunity to ask the Bishop questions after the talk.

We shall then take a break for lunch, but over lunch there will be priests available for those who wish to make their Confession, or to seek spiritual counsel.

We resume at 2:00pm when Bishop Andrew will talk to us about the Sacrament of Anointing and about the Healing Ministry of the Church. Again there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions following his talk.

At 3:00pm we shall have a celebration of Vespers with the singing led by Fr Victor Bullock SSC. At the end of this there will be the Laying on of Hands for those who desire healing for themselves or for others and both Bishops will be leading this.

Do take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Faith and to experience the love of Christ coming to us in these two beautiful, albeit much neglected, Sacraments. During the Teaching Day if you wish to talk to a priest about anything that you are unsure of we will be only to pleased to listen to you and help you clarify what has been said.
