Pope Benedict 's Prayer Intention  for February 2012

Access To Water

More than 1 in 8 people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water. 1 out of every 5 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease. Nearly 80% of illness in developing countries is linked to poor water and sanitation conditions. This month Pope Benedict invites us to join in his prayer intention for February, ".....That all peoples may have access to water and other resources needed for daily life. "

Let us Pray

For the repose of the soul of  Margaret Stark who died on 29th November, wife of Deacon John Stark and Mother of Catherine, Deacon Phil Rogerson's wife. Margaret's body will be received into St. John Ambrose Church Hall Green on Sunday at 1845 and her Requiem mass will be on Monday 5th December at 1030.

Our prayers are very much with Deacon John, Catherine, Jo, Phil and Ed at this time May she rest in peace Deacon Louis Kelly from St. Joseph's Malvern who died on Thursday 13th October 2011

For those who are not so well.

Deacon Philip and Catherine Rogerson recently welcomed their first grandchild Theo born to their son Ed and his wife Lauren. Sadly though, Lauren has been seriously ill since Theo's birth.  Please pray for Lauren and all the family.
John Woodward (from our Lady's Rednal) in your prayers, he was admitted into the Queen Ellzabeth Hospital late on Saturday night with serious stomach pains. I will keep you informed of his condition. We continue to hold Doreen Green in our prayers.Meg Lintwhite was well enough to attend the Mass of renewal with Pat, she has her good days and not so good days.  Please continue to pray for both Meg and Pat.  I know they appreciate our prayers.
