Mission Week
MISSION WEEK AT OUR LADY OF PEACE & ST ANDREW’S
Monday 10th March – Sunday 16th March 2025
Each Day the Church will be open for prayer. Each day from 6pm to 7pm there will be adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. This is an opportunity to come and pray together, spending time praying for the Mission week and for all the people who live in the geographical area of the parish, that they may come to know God’s love for them.
Mission Week Events: All welcome!
Jesus Our Hope – A Jubilee Evening Led by Mission Northampton: Monday 10th March 2025, 7.00 – 9.00pm at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. Pope Francis invites us to look to the future with hope. Join Mission Northampton for a Jubilee inspired evening, which will include music, creative ways to pray, and a talk by our guest speaker Fr. Simon Penhalagan. We invite you to come and deepen your relationship with Jesus during this evening. The evening will be gentle and welcoming, so feel free to invite a friend!
‘I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord.” The Lord does not disappoint those who take this risk; whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.’ (The Joy of the Gospel, 3)
Tuesday 11th March: Training for outreach into the wider community, 7 – 9pm at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. Our Parishes are called to be places of welcome and service within the local community. Come for an evening to explore how we can reach out with God’s love beyond the walls of the Church. The evening will include some very practical training by Mission Northampton to equip you to do this.
Sunday 16th March – Light Fever at St. Andrew’s, 1pm to 4pm: An experience of going out and inviting people back to the Church to light a candle and pray. This is an effective and simple way to share the love of God with others during this Mission Week. There are lots of jobs that need doing, including making tea and coffee, music & intercession, as well as people going out to invite others in, so there is something for everyone!
Monday 17th March: Mission Day in Our Lady of Peace Primary School led by the Sion Community: A day in which the children in the school can come to know more deeply that they are loved by God.

Jubliee 2025 | Pilgrims of Hope
THE JUBILEE YEAR OF HOPE 2025 “Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year. A time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. The Jubilee Year 2025 officially began on December 8, 2024, when Pope Francis opened the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica.
This sacred year of Hope invites us all to renew our faith and deepen our commitment to God. We encourage parishioners to take full advantage of this special year, which offers Catholics the possibility of obtaining a plenary indulgence through prayer, pilgrimages, reflection, and acts of service. Resources to support our journey, including daily prayer guides and reflections, are available online:
CAFOD You can Join CAFOD’s “Make a Jubilee pledge”, to recommit to our global family this Jubilee year by pledging a transformative monthly gift, and you’ll receive their weekly gospel reflections by email. These weekly email reflections include reflections on the Sunday gospel, and ways in which you and the wider CAFOD family can give, act and pray during the Jubilee Year. http://www.cafod.org.uk/pray/jubilee-2025

CONFIRMING OUR PARISH NAME In discussion with Bishop David recently, it has been decided to firm up the name of our combined Parish by combining the two names together in a new logo. Going forward we are ‘Our Lady of Peace and St Andrew’s’. The Bishop is happy with this slight amendment as it helps in some way for people to understand that we are truly one Parish and not two separate entities. You will see the new logo appearing across the Parish in future.
