1 The Parish of St Teresa of the Child Jesus, Rochford & St Pius X Hockley Parish Priest: Fr Gerry Drummond MA 109 Ashingdon Road Rochford / frgerry@talktalk.net/ Ss Peter and Paul God loves each one of us personally and he calls each one of us by name into existence. He wants to bring each one of us to the full realization of his plan. So you see we are no different to Peter and Paul. God called them to use their very different personalities to spread the Gospel and he does the same with us. We all have different strengths and weaknesses but these too can become God s means of helping others. God works through us not because we are perfect but because he loves us! Wishing you all every blessing, Fr Gerry We wish you all a very warm welcome to our Parish today, especially those who are just visiting. If you have any questions about our liturgical life and the many wonderful parish groups we have please do ask. There will be a second collection at every Mass this weekend for 2 Peter s Pence. This is the name given to the financial support offered by the faithful to the Holy Father as a sign of their sharing in the concern of the Successor of Peter for the many different needs of the Universal Church and for the relief of those most in need.. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you. The Legion of Mary is here to serve our parish beneath the standard of Our Lady's loving care.
