CONGREGATIO PRO CLERICIS Response to petitions on the

Closure of St. Winefride’s Church “… It appears that there may still be some confusion

as to the status of the former parish church of St

Winefride, so perhaps I could assist by clarifying the status of the building. It was reduced to secular but

not unbecoming use (cf.can.1222:1). As such, it

lost its dedication (cf.can. 1212) and ceased to be

a sacred building intended for divine worship

(cf.can. 1214). A hierarchical recourse against that

decree was rejected by this Congregation on 20 April 2013, and subsequently by the Supreme Tribunal of

the Apostolic Signatura on 9 August 2013. I do

appreciate that has been a painful decision, but

the question is settled and will not be reopened.

Since November 2012, therefore, there has been no parish church in the parish of St Winefride. Having

received your correspondence, this Dicastery was

concerned to ascertain what steps are currently being

taken to resolve this situation. The Diocesan Bishop

has now fully explained his proposals to provide a

parish church and I can confirm that this Congregation is satisfied with those proposals….”

RCIA: The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or

Ordo Initiationis Christianae Adultorum (OICA) is a process in

the Catholic Church for prospective ADULT converts to

Catholicism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of

Catholic beliefs and practices. The basic process applies to

adults and older children, with younger children initiated

through an adapted version referred to as the Rite of Christian

Initiation of Children (RCIC). For RCIA Candidates, it is a period

of reflection, prayer, instruction, discernment, and formation.

Those who enter the process are expected to begin attending

Holy Mass on a Sunday, attend a weekly RCIA session, and to

become increasingly involved in the activities of their local

parish. The RCIA process is overseen throughout every period

and step by the Parish Priest. However, the week-to-week

administration of the process, including its teaching element,

is increasingly being undertaken by lay Catholic Catechists.

Our Parish RCIA catechist is REUBEN PURCHASE. We are

glad to have some candidates who have come forward to

discern their inner call. The sessions will begin in the end of

September. If you know of anyone who is keen to join the

process, kindly contact Fr. Paul or Reuben. Kindly keep all

those involved in RCIA in your prayers. Thanks

NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC PILGRIMAGE & CONGRESS

LIVERPOOL 07 – 09 SEPTEMBER, 2018: A National

Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress will be held in Liverpool

next year. Participants at the Congress will take part in a series

of Catechesis, focusing on different dimensions of the Eucharist

and the daily celebration and adoration the Blessed Sacrament.

James Torrance has very kindly agreed to be the representative

for Menevia, working with Christian Mahoney from Cardiff, and

he will disseminate information about this Pilgrimage to

Parishes. He has been asked him to use Deaneries as hubs for

getting information to everyone in the Diocese. For further

details please contact James on TorranceJ@hwbmail.net

VOCATIONS: “Called Beyond" is a project developed by

the National Office for Vocation, which has produced an

introductory video to highlight this venture:

https://vimeo.com/219079049 with the password: Exodus. "Called

Beyond" could enable parishes to engage with the 2018 General

Assembly of the Synod on Youth, Faith and Vocational

Discernment and lay the foundations for their response.

The Holy Cross Parish Community, Aberaeron,

would like to thank all who supported by attendance, donations, or prizes at the Tombola, and those who gave their time for preparing and delivering a fine barbecue , a first course and desert at our BBQ last Sunday. We raised £110 for the Church Maintenance Fund. But more than that, we are proud that how a community working together, can make visitors, holiday makers feel welcome and have fun and fellowship while still sharing our faith and commitment to the future of the Church.
