Please welcome Mischa Richards and help him feel at home over the next few weeks.
Mischa is our new Pastoral Assistant and will be moving to Hornsey at the end of this month.

This is an important year for Mischa and for us.

He will be spending a whole year living and working in our parishes - learning what it means to be a priest in our busy parishes and bringing to us his own particular gifts and talents.

Mischa is going to live in Brenda Barwick’s house, 41 Elder Avenue.

It would be good to fill up some kitchen cupboards with some nice food and drink to welcome Mischa to the parishes.

If you can contribute anything non-perishable, please bring it to Church next Sunday or during the week.

Thank you.

Blessing
of the
New Window
The installation of the new stained glass window of Our Lady of Walsingham was one of the most important moments in the life of Holy Innocents in recent years.

The window was dedicated to a long-standing parishioner Jean Barwick.

Bishop Peter celebrated Mass and blessed the window on Saturday
22nd May at 2.00pm.

We particularly appreciated The Mayor of Haringey coming, and the many people who came to witness a bit of history in the making.

Prayer Worshop
In a busy 5-week schedule Janet Hodgson, the well-known spiritual writer from South Africa, found time to visit Holy Innocents and conduct a workshop on 'Making the Sign of the Cross'

The event took place on Wednesday May 26. Looking at crosses from all over the world and choosing one that is particularly appealing, gave everyone the opportunity to talk about what this universal symbol of our faith means at a personal level .

Like many other churches, Holy Innocents has a special relationship with Walsingham. Known as England's Nazareth, it is a place of pilgrimage and retreat. Well worth a day out from the normal bustle of the world.
