Next Weekend: Second Collection for CES
On the weekend 4th/5th February there will be a second collection for the Catholic Education Service.

Advance Notice
• Sunday Noon Mass - The next Sung Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form will be at 12 noon on Sunday 19th February, Quinquagesima.
• Appeal and Second Collection for the St Barnabas Society – Mr Cyprian Blamires will be speaking about the work of the St Barnabas Society at all the Masses 18th/19th February. A second collection will be taken for the society, which assists convert clergymen and their families.
• High Mass of St Gregory - High Mass in the Extraordinary Form will be sung in celebration of our parish centenary on the feast of St Gregory the Great, Monday 12th March at 6 p.m. The music will be provided by the present choir of the Oratory School, whose predecessors sang on the same occasion in 1941. The same Mass setting and motets, composed by Palestrina and John IV of Portugal, will be sung now as then. The preacher will be our own Fr Richard. After the Mass there will be a reception in the parish hall. If you would like to attend, please fill in the reply slip below and return to me as soon as possible. Please also indicate whether you would like to contribute financially.

Fr Andrew's Weekday Masses
Fr Andrew Pinsent offers an early Mass at 7:30 most weekday mornings during the university term time. Anyone is welcome to attend, though please be aware that sometimes this Mass will not be offered if he has meetings and commitments away from Oxford. You may also be interested to read one of Father's new booklets, published by the CTS: an introduction to the faith, Credo, and a little manual of apologetics, Apologia. Well worth reading and using: copies are on the literature stand.

Quiz Time: Giant Brains Needed!
On Wednesday 29th February Wolvercote WI will be holding their annual quiz. St Gregory's has fielded a strong team for several years running. Any volunteers for this year's event? The prize is the fame and glory of being the cleverest person in Wolvercote! Please let me know if you’d like to take part.

Rome Pilgrimage
We have now been given a quotation from Pax Travel. The all-inclusive price is likely to be about £730. It would be a great help if those who have signed up would confirm with me as soon as possible that they really do intend to come.
