Praying for a New Experience
of the Holy Spirit

A Pentecost Novena Prayer

"Father God, pour out Your Holy Spirit upon Your people and grant us a new vision of Your Glory, a new experience of Your Power and a new faithfulness to Your Word so that Your Love may grow among us and Your Kingdom come."

Time For Action?

This month Parliament will debate on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.

The Bishops of England and Wales ask that we lobby our MPs (find out who's yours at www.writetothem.com) and write to Gordon Brown directly to ask that it would be a free vote (it is currently a three-line whip).

Greetings from Cardinal Keith Patrick O'Brien

“I was delighted to have been able to take part in a ‘Mission Mass’ in our parish church of Ss John Cantius & Nicholas in Broxburn on Trinity Sunday, Sunday 3 June 2007.

The parish had been visited by members of the Sion Community during the week prior to my own mission sermon and immediately prior to their week of celebration in the parish. I know that the members of the parish were stimulated by the apostolate of the Sion Community who indeed presented the basic themes of our Christian faith and stimulated parishioners to be prepared for an ongoing and increasing role in our Church at this present time, particularly in this Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh. May God indeed bless all members of Sion Community in their valued work of mission”.

Going Dutch In A New Diocesan Partnership

Sion Community has entered into a three-year partnership with Den Bosch Diocese in the Netherlands. We will be working with them to establish their Diocesan Parish Mission Team. Fr Gerard recently led a priests' retreat, looking at their essential call to evangelise. During Lent a successful mission was held in Helmund, with focused visiting to families on the Sacramental programme, school visits working together with a team of Ugandan youth missionaries and evening services at the parish church. There are two further parish missions planned for later this year.

Time For Change?

Last September Sion Community relocated their Youth Ministry to SENT, our training centre in Brentwood.

We would like to thank the Holy Cross Sisters who have generously given Youth Ministry accomodation for the last 8 years at Chalfont St Peter.
