Parish News for 20th Week in Ordinary Time

This Sunday Fr. David will be with us to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In Luke’s Gospel, Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. At her greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaps in her womb and filled with the Holy Spirit she says, “Of all women, you are most blessed and blessed is the fruit of your womb.”

Appointment of New Priest: Fr. Owen Dobson
We are very pleased to announce that Fr. Owen Dobson has accepted the post as Priest-in-Charge of S. Pancras Old Church and S. Paul’s Camden Square. Fr. Owen is currently an Assistant Priest at St John’s, Hyde Park Crescent – a temporary post since June. For the previous ten years he was Assistant Priest at St James’s, Sussex Gardens, Paddington. Fr. Owen was a Pastoral Assistant at S. Pancras Old Church in 2007-08 and no doubt some members of the congregation will remember him. Details of the date and time of Fr. Owen’s licensing will be announced in due course.

Thursdays at 10am
There will be no Service of the Word and Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament at 10am on Thursday 22nd and 29th August. Instead there will be coffee and chat for those in church on Thursday mornings. 

No Saturday Mass
Please note there will be no Saturday morning Mass until our new priest is in post. There is a 10am Saturday Mass at S. Mary’s Somers Town in Eversholt Street. S. Mary’s is a short walk from Euston station, and on the 1 and 253 bus routes.
