Anointing of The Sick Please let the priest know if a loved one is sick or admitted in the hospital. What does the Church teach? By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. Illness in human life Illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. In illness, man experiences his powerlessness, his limitations, and his finitude. Every illness can make us glimpse death. Illness can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God. It can also make a person more mature, helping him discern in his life what is not essential so that he can turn toward that which is. Very often illness provokes a search for God and a return to him.

Knights of St. Columba Council 219 Who are we? We are a lay order of Catholic men, founded in 1919, and looking forward to celebrating our centenary in three years’ time. We are organised into councils, and a number of councils make a province, so we in Tooting are Council 219, within Province 12, Southwark, which comprises Kent and a portion of South London. As to what we do ,we serve and support Church and Community in a spirit of charity, unity and fraternity. We have been Involved in aiding major international causes such as Wells for Water which helped areas of the developing world that are critically short of water; Aid to the Church in Need, which provides invaluable assistance to those places where the very survival of the Catholic church is sometimes precarious; and a drive to provide spectacles for the visually-impaired in parts of the developing world. We also get involved in more local causes, organising events such as car-boot sales, coffee mornings, dances and quiz nights to raise awareness of, and funds for, these causes. We have a ceremonial and ritual dimension, providing ushers, stewards and other assistance for key church occasions, and guards of honour for visiting bishops. Being Southwark-based, for us this includes regular attendance at St George’s Cathedral and at Aylesford Priory in Kent, the latter a marvellous place for pilgrimage, retreat, or just getting away from the hustle and bustle of London. The Knights do not function in isolation. Their wives and families have an important and much-valued role in supporting their various endeavours. Key to the Knights is their spiritual dimension, what the Second Vatican Council referred to as “The Universal Call to Holiness”, being part of the lay apostolate. We pride ourselves on our complete loyalty to the bishops and clergy. With the current shortage of vocations, much more shall have to be done by the laity, and here the Knights are to the forefront. Since our humble beginnings in Glasgow in 1919, the order of the Knights of St Columba has spread throughout Britain. Today we have a membership of 4,500, and our spirit is alive and active.We welcome new members and are open to every practising Catholic male of sixteen years or over. We are aware that many of you are already involved in the parish, as for example, ministers of the Eucharist, or ministers of the Word, or choir members. You can continue in that invaluable work under the banner of the order. It all goes towards your role as a Knight. Day & Time: Second Friday of each month (except August ) at 20:00.

The Catholic Charismatic Movement The Mission of the group is to help members share their faith experiences with others. The guiding principle of the group is love routed in Christ’s Amazing Grace. Membership of the group is open to Catholics and any person who is interested in learning about Jesus and the Church. Our praise and worship is charismatic in its expression. Meeting times: The group meets every Tuesday at 7.00 p.m. immediately following the 6.30 p.m. Mass. The meetings involve praise and worship, meditating on the Word of God, sharing our thoughts on God’s word and its application to self and others. There are also prayers of petition and intercession, welcome of new members to the group, and time for personal testimonies. Occasionally, there are talks given on related topics that may embrace the growth of individuals and the group. These talks are given by either selected members of the core group or external speakers. The opportunity for adoration is also welcomed whenever it is possible to arrange this. Day & Time: Tuesdays after the 18:30 Mass Con tact: Caroline RAPU Phone: 020 8672 2345 Email: tooting@rcaos.org.uk Location: In the Church

The Seven Sacraments of the Chruch The sacraments of the Church are divided into the sacraments of Christian Initiation, the sacraments of Healing and the sacraments at the service of Communion and Mission. The Sacraments touch all the important moments of Christian Life. All of the sacraments are ordered to the Holy Eucharist "as to their end" (St Thomas Aquianas). 1210 - 1211 CCC. Sacraments of Initiation There are three Sacraments of Christian Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist. They ground the common vocation of all Christ's disciples, a vocation to holiness and to the mission of evangelising the world. They confer the graces needed for the life according to the Spirit, during this life as pilgrims on the march towards the homeland. Sacraments of Healing There are two Sacraments of Healing - the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick. Christ, the physician of our Soul and Body, instituted these sacraments because the new life that he gives us in the sacraments of Christian Initiation can be weakened and even lost because of sin. Therefore, Christ willed that his Church should continue his work of healing and salvation by means of these two sacraments (CCC 1420 - 1421, 1426). Sacraments at the Service of Communion and Mission These are two sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony. These confer a special grace for a particular mission in the Church to serve and build up the People of God. These sacraments contribute in a special way to Ecclesial communion and the salvation of others.
