Sea Sunday
Next week is Sea Sunday, when the Church remembers all those who live and work at sea.
Seafarers are commonly recruited from poorer countries where wages are lower. Seafarers work in difficult and often dangerous conditions suffering from loneliness, spiritual deprivation and even exploitation as they transport the goods we use and consume every day.
The Apostleship of the Sea (AoS) is the official maritime welfare agency of the Catholic Church in Great Britain. The Apostleship of the Sea reaches out to seafarers that visit our ports each year, offering pastoral and practical support and care. AoS is wholly dependent on voluntary donations to continue its work; it takes the love of Christ to seafarers in the name of the Church recognizing them as our brothers and sisters in need.
Sea Sunday is your chance to help AoS make a real difference to the lives of seafarers. Everything AoS does is on behalf of Britain's catholic community, but it receives no statutory funding from either the Church or the government. The parish will take up a second collection on Sea Sunday for the work of AoS - so please give generously next Sunday. Their ministry cannot continue without you. For more information on the work of AoS please visit their website at www.apostleshipofthesea.org.uk

Archdiocese, Facebook and Twitter
Pope Benedict's recent Communications Sunday message urged Catholics to embrace the digital age and the realm of social networking while being ever aware of its risks. He wrote: "I would like to invite Christians, confidently and with an informed and responsible creativity, to join the network of relationships which the digital era has made possible. This is not simply to satisfy the desire to be present, but because this network is an integral part of human life".
If you use Facebook and/or Twitter, please consider following the daily feeds from the Archdiocese - they include updates on special events, reminders about Holydays of obligation, news items both local and from the Vatican and photos and videos of events. Both Facebook and Twitter feeds can be joined with one click - at no cost - from the Archdiocesan home page - http://www.rcag.org.uk/.
