TODAY IS THE SOLEMNITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE UNIVERSAL KING. To mark the feast (which is also National Youth Sunday) members of S.P.Y. (St Pancras Youth) will be serving some of the legendary chocolate brownies (made and sold by Pop-up Co-op at the Lewes Barbican and Cliffe Bridge) at coffee after the 10.30 Mass. Today is also a day of prayer for prisoners and their dependants. WE WELCOME MERCURY CLASS and their families to the 9.15 Mass on Tuesday, the Memoria of St Cecilia. CREDO meets on Tuesday 22 November (89.15pm) in the Presbytery. FIRST HOLY COMMUNION The second meeting for those children preparing for their first Confession and Holy Communion will be from 5-6pm this Wednesday (23 November) in Cluny.

The Arundel and Brighton Diocesan Trust is a Registered Charity No. 252878

AD EXPERIMENTUM In order to accommodate more comfortably those who, in accordance with 160 of The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, choose to kneel to receive Holy Communion (and also to save the moving of the existing prie-dieux for the regular celebrations of Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) two kneelers will be placed at the ends of the sanctuary step from the first Sunday of Advent. The priest or extra-ordinary minister distributing the Host will simply move to the side on which any communicant is kneeling. THE CHILDRENS CRIB SERVICE will be at 3 oclock on Sunday 18 December. Eleanor Austin writes: We begin the final week of countdown to Christmas with our focus on the Nativity. Details will follow during the next few weeks when we will be looking for lead characters, readers and music-makers for this special event. All children and their families are welcome. We would also really appreciate the offer of a baby, as a live Jesus always helps to make the play even more meaningful. Please contact Eleanor for further information or to offer to help: 01273 475438 or eleanor.austin@gmail.com LEWES PASSION PLAY GROUP carol singing event on Wednesday 21 December (6.30-9pm).
