Community Kitchen Cupboard (The 'C.K.C.')

NEW FOOD BANK INITIATIVE, together with school & pre-school, our ‘Community Kitchen Cupboard’ is now up & running! (The 'C.K.C.')

July 2024

This informal, free service is for anyone in our community who might be struggling or just needs a bit of extra help ~ please, just come & help yourselves from the shelves.

As you can see from the video, come on into the entrance of the church which is open each day (even if the door is shut, please try it, as it is usually unlocked from approx. 8.45am-4pm, or later on days where there is evening Mass) including during the summer holidays.
The Community Kitchen Cupboard is at the end of the entrance area - take a bag and take what you need for you / your family.

Also, if anyone is in a position to donate tinned & packet items for the CKC please leave items in the box at the bottom of the cupboard for our team to sort out and label.

We have loads of pasta and tins of beans, pulses & soups etc at the moments but would love some more toilet rolls, tea, coffee, lunchbox snacks such as individual biscuits or dried fruit boxes etc, jars of pasta sauce, tinned or packet desserts (rice pudding / custard etc) and sanitary items.
*Keep an eye out for updates on this in the weekly Newsletter*

We hope this will be a useful initiative for our community and we would welcome any helpful feedback and offers to join the team of people checking and re-stocking on a rota basis each day.

“And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

Congratulations to Milly from Willow class for designing the winning logo for The CKC - the new Community Kitchen Cupboard!
... I think it says everything about what the initiative stands for - to surround people with love ❤️ Well done Milly.
Look out for the new sign at the back of church soon.

Youth Sunday
On Youth Sunday we were blessed to have so many of our amazing young people contributing to the Mass with such respect and poise, and blessed with so many who came out to our lively Children's Liturgy of the Word session! We enjoyed celebrating your involvement - you are the future of our Church

We were also delighted to congratulate Altar Servers, Adriel and Joshua, who became probationary members of the Guild of St Stephen and Alice who has completed her probationary time and was enrolled as a member and presented with a Guild medal which Fr Barnabas blessed.
All our Altar Servers then renewed their guild promise:
"I offer myself to God Almighty, to Blessed Mary, our Mother and to our Holy Patron, Saint Stephen, and I promise to do my best to serve regularly, with reverence and understanding, for the glory of God, the service of His Church and my own eternal salvation."

We thank you all for your service to Holy Mass.


Taster evening at St Augustine's Parish

On Friday 28th November we will have a meeting for anyone who might be interested in finding out a bit more about the Catholic Faith.

This will follow the 7.30pm Mass in the Church and the meeting will be from 8-9pm in the Parish Hall next door.

...... even if you are just being curious, please come along. We'd love to meet you.

Fr Barnabas.


ADVENT
As Advent begins this weekend we'll be waiting, journeying and looking forward to the Season of Christmas together.

Please have a look at the sheet showing all the events, services and Masses which will be taking place within our Parishes in Communion over the next few weeks, and into Christmas. There are many things to join in with!

And, thanks to our Parish Pastoral Council, we also have suggestions of things to do during Advent in your homes to help make this season of journeying and waiting more special.

It will also include some Advent activities, plus we have a Family Advent resource from Celebrate with some lovely things to do with the kids, books to read and songs to sing, such as this beautiful song 'Hey Mary' - all the toys are invited to the manger... and baby Jesus is delivered by crane! Adorable...

Paper copies to take home and 'stick to the fridge' will be available in Church this weekend.

St Augustine's ~ Remembrance Sunday 2025

    


GIFT SUNDAY.
Each December we ask for help for those who are on the streets in our city to give them a gift from our community at Christmas. So, on Sat & Sun 6/7th Dec, we invite you to bring a gift to Mass for the homeless people we will meet on our soup run, if you are able to.
The team would love to make up gift parcels which could include men’s gloves, hats, socks, and any large (110g) bars of chocolate. They will put donated gifts together to make up lovely gift bags for the Christmas soup run, (so no need to wrap anything).
Thank you in advance for your generosity.




Congratulations to our parishioner, Liam, who has completed this amazing challenge!

GUIDING CAROLS
It’s our Girl Guiding units turn to host the regional Carol Service this year. It will be on Thurs 4th Dec, 6-7pm, in the church.
If you’d like to come along please book a place. Simply email 23kingswoodguides@gmail.com with your name/s.
Many thanks.

Pilgrimage prayer walk ~ Laudato Si Movement.
The pilgrimage prayer walk was conceived as an ecumenical event on the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice, during the central weekend of the COP30 conference on Care for our Common Home.
About thirty of us took part, from Stroud and Birmingham, Bath and Weston and Bristol, from many different parishes and denominations, and a range of generations.
We started with a Mass at Clifton Cathedral, then with a blessing we walked through green spaces including a bombed church and Brandon Hill to Bristol cathedral where we took part in a Eucharistic Service. We prayed seven 'stations of creation' on the way, detailing the Genesis account with the scientific timeline and perspective, with prayers for peace at the church.
It was a profoundly moving experience and we thank the staff at both Clifton and Bristol for making us welcome.
Bella.

New choir!
On Sunday 26th October, our morning Mass was made 50 times brighter as we all enjoyed a new choir who lead us through Mass.
The sound the choir made was glorious and inspiring and had been brought together by a few members of the Legion of Mary; together with the help of Bella - our parish choir coordinator, Veronica - one of our parish organists, and the African choir of St Patrick’s Catholic Church.
After 2 sessions of rehearsals each week, for almost 6 weeks, the dream to have an African choir at St Augustine’s Church has become a reality.
Odion said, he’s thankful for the encouragement, support and approval given by Fr Barnabas. And also for the kind comments and words of appreciation, from parishioners who attended the Mass.
We hope to hear more from our new African choir at the forthcoming Christmas carol service and future Masses too!

Happy Birthday Fr Frank! We surprised him with a Birthday cake (well... a Birthday Lemon Meringue Pie) after Mass.


Climate talks
Our film mornings have covered the seriousness of the state of our common home, this beautiful planet, and a dynamic analysis of Catholic Social Teaching based on conversion to love and personal relationship with Jesus. How can we fail then to care for all our brothers and sisters?
Next Saturday (8th) come to find out real ways to be moved to conversion and to make a difference and plan ways forward.
All are welcome to the parish hall at 10am for a genuinely useful gathering with a cuppa.
 

Craft Day
Come to the Parish Hall this Wednesday (5th) anytime from 10.30 until 4.30pm for refreshments and a chance to pick up some beautiful home made gifts, at Petra's now legendary annual 'Craft Day'!
All are welcome to come along for shopping, chatting and company - All for a good cause.
All money raised will go to the Parish Projects.

SIP N PAINT FUN!
On Sunday, 2nd November at 7pm, approximately forty parishioners, prospective painters all, arrived at the Parish Hall for a "Sip & Paint" evening.
Prosecco, wine and a variety of soft drinks were served and sipped, while everyone prepared to tackle The Great Wave off Kanagawa by the Japanese artist, Hokusai.
Before that, however, each participant was assigned the name of a famous painter, taken from a list of the creators of the world's most famous, fifty paintings, all posted around the walls of the Parish Hall. The challenge was to connect the painter to the painting.
And later, to be photographed holding your own painting next to your assigned work of art.
Guided by the lovely Catherine from 'Art Parties With Catherine Williams' who very generously ran the evening for us at cost price, all in attendance concentrated hard for a full two hours, sweating waves as they worked, until finally this Great British Paint Off came to a close.
A few raffle prizes, a few words of thanks, a few words about our Parish Projects, and an excellent evening over.
Move over, Monet, push off, Picasso, the artists of St Augustine's are after your crowns!
 



BOOKING MASS INTENTIONS - an update for 2026.
We have more intentions than we can manage, which in one way is a good thing. But at present you’d have to wait until the new year to book a Mass.
On an average week, 3 out of the 5 Masses are already pencilled out in advance meaning it is hard to get a Mass in the event of needed prayers when something happens.
I belong to a Priests support group with retired Priests who would feel useful if they were offering Mass for people. An option would be for you to give your Mass to them & we can still call out the names of those you wish prayed for in the bidding prayers of your chosen Mass. Let us know when booking a Mass in the office.
So, from now on Bernadette will stop contacting you to ask if you want an anniversary Mass &, if you don’t mind, we will pass the ownness back to you.
Thank you. Fr Barnabas.

The countdown to the 'Countdown to Christmas' is on!


Could you donate a prize (or 2) for our Tombola stalls?
If you are able to buy, or have around the house, a new, unopened bottle or box of chocs or unwanted gift, we would LOVE to have a few more prizes for our tombola stalls....

If you are able to help please pop donations to the parish office.

Many thanks for your support.




Dilexi te – Pope Leo XIV’s first papal document: Pope Leo XIV’s first Apostolic Exhortation sees the love of Christ incarnated in love for the poor, in caring for the sick, opposing slavery, defending women who experience exclusion and violence, making education available to all, accompanying migrants, charitable giving, working for equality and more. With this document, signed on 4 October, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, Pope Leo situates himself firmly on the path laid out by his predecessors from St Pope John XXIII through to Pope Francis.



Saying Goodbye, (part of Mariposa International (SG)) are coming to Wiltshire next month with a very special Baby loss remembrance and support service (part of an international chain of events).  

Mariposa International (SG)'s  core objective is to support people who have lost babies at any stage of pregnancy, at birth, or in infancy. It was founded in 2012, by Zoe and Andy Clark-Coates, who saw a critical lack of support for people like them, who had gone through baby loss. With over 258,000 babies being lost yearly in the UK alone, the charity needed to be able to offer not only a comprehensive package of befriending and support but also national baby loss remembrance services (called Saying Goodbye Services), for people to join together and remember the children they had lost. 

13 years on, over 220 services have taken place at Cathedrals and Minsters across the UK, US, and France, and 2025 will see 25 services across England, Wales, Ireland, France and the US. 
On the 22nd November at 4pm in Malmesbury Cathedral, we will be hosting one of our Saying Goodbye Services and as this is the most local service to you this year, we wanted to share this information with you.
So who is the service for?
Anyone who has either personally lost a baby at any stage of pregnancy, at birth, or in early years, or who has been affected by family members' or friends' loss.  Whether the loss was recent or 80 years ago, everyone is welcome to attend. We have also extended the services, and gladly welcome anyone who is grieving the fact that they haven't had children. This may be due to circumstance, infertility, or for other reasons - but all are welcome. Babies and children are also invited to come with their families, as the Saying Goodbye service is truly a family event for all.
We know that as 1 in 4 women suffer miscarriage and baby loss, you will have contact with a significant number of people who have either personally suffered baby loss, or who have a partner or family member that has, so we wanted to ask if you would help us in promoting the service.
 To read more on the charity, please see the Saying Goodbye website, which you can find at: www.sayinggoodbye.org

Tickets are available from church this weekend - There are some great prizes to be won, both cash amounts and gifts!

The Draw will take place during refreshments in the Parish Hall after the ‘Carols by Candlelight’ Concert at 3pm on Sunday 7th December to which everyone is invited.
Good Luck !

Gifts for the children and soldiers of Ukraine

Please consider supporting 1 or both of the following appeals for gifts.

1) 'Shoe Box for the soldiers' appeal - simple but welcomed gifts you can put inside your shoe box such as:
• Warm socks, gloves, hand warmers, hats in dark colours
• Hygiene items (toothpaste, wipes, lip balm)
• Medical (painkillers, multivitamins, antivirals, plasters, first aid items, antiseptic)
• Treats (chocolate, coffee sachets, nuts, energy bars, cup-a-soups, noodles)
• Power banks, head torches, pocket games such as chess, sudoku
• Add a short note or Christmas card — these messages of support often mean the most.
Please avoid - Liquids, alcohol, sharp items, or perishable is foods.
Please wrap the box and lid separately, secure with string/elastic bands and label it for the soldiers - drop off at St Augustine's Church or Presbytery before the deadline of 10th November.

2) We are also offering to be a drop off point if you would like to wrap up a new gift for a child and label it so it can be handed out in Ukraine.
Good ideas for gifts would be toys which do not need batteries (unless also able to supply them too), soft toys, edible treats with a long enough date, puzzles etc.
Please steer clear of books in English as would limit who can enjoy them and anything related to guns or warfare.
Wrap your present and label it so it can handed out - labels such as: "Young girl 5-10", "Teenage boy", "Any child 0-3"... label for the gift you are able to buy. Please add an extra note to it saying what type of gift it is, which can be removed in Ukraine, just to help with any legalities of border crossings.
Drop these to the presbytery before 10th November and they can go off in the November run to Ukraine in time for Christmas.

These gifts can make a real difference — a reminder that kindness travels across borders.
Many thanks to you all

As the annual Baby Loss Awareness Week begins, we remember all those tiny lives lost. We pray that they are held in Jesus' loving embrace and that we, as a community, put our arms around all those suffering the pain of baby and child loss.

Please feel free to visit our church for a moment of quiet reflection or prayer, or to light a candle.
Please reach out for support if you are suffering - there are many support groups and charities available to you.
Baby Loss Awareness UK
The Lullaby Trust
Sands - baby loss charity
Gentle Footprints
Tommy's
Miscarriage Association
Life

Archbishop John Sherrington, Lead Bishop for Life Issues, and Bishop Bosco MacDonald, Lead Bishop for Marriage and Family Life, have released a statement to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week that runs from 9-15 October.

"Baby Loss Awareness Week is a national initiative of remembrance taking place from 9-15 October. It is an opportunity to pause and acknowledge the deep sorrow suffered by parents who have experienced the loss of a baby.
Each of these losses involves the death of a small child and the parents need our compassion and support through their bereavement.
Many women and parents carry this painful loss silently. It is difficult to talk about, and the Church has also found this difficult. We invite parents to mark baby loss in meaningful ways: through prayer, memorials or liturgical remembrance and mass. These acts help affirm the dignity and innocence of the child and support you in your journey of grief and healing. We encourage parishes to invite parents to pray in front of the Most Blessed Sacrament or light a candle for their children at any time.
“You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139)."

MISSIO - World Mission Sunday - 19th October
In this special message our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, invites you to take part in World Mission Sunday on 19 October.
We will hold a retiring collection at both Masses. There are red envelopes available to fill in if you wish to Gift Aid your donation.
In the video, Pope Leo is urging every Catholic and every parish across the globe to unite in prayer and practical support for missionaries who work alongside communities in need in the most remote and troubled parts of our world.
In recalling his missionary experience in Peru, Pope Leo says: ‘When I served as a missionary priest and then bishop in Peru, I saw first-hand how the faith, the prayer and the generosity shown on World Mission Sunday can transform entire communities’.
The Pope explains how your prayers and support on World Mission Sunday are vital in spreading the Gospel and in supporting the Church’s outreach and mission in very practical ways. Your support, coordinated by Missio, helps build churches, chapels and schools and supports missionaries as they enable people to experience God’s compassion and love through their care and the witness of their lives.
Visit missio.org.uk/wms now, and see how you can join us for World Mission Sunday

We invite you to come along for a new fundraising event for our Parish Projects.

All in aid of our 2 Projects, for Parish building funds and Chhanv Foundation
