THE CENACOLO COMMUNITY
is a house for people who have turned to the Church to help them overcome drug addiction. The organisation was started in 1983 by Sister Elvira in Italy, and has a 90% success rate. There are 62 Houses throughout the world, one of which is in our own Diocese, at Dodding Green near Kendal.They were also amazed at all the generous donations of food which has been handed in by parishioners, and which has now been delivered to them. The Community, living at Dodding Green near Kendal, are a group of men and women trying to overcome drug and alcohol addiction, supported by the church and, now, our parishioners. As previously announced, your kind contributions will be taken to Kendal by Carolyn once a fortnight. Besides foodstuffs like pasta and tinned goods, they would also be very grateful for any toileteries. There is a box for these things left at the back of church.
The people who live in these houses usually stay for 2-3 years, and try to be self-supportive, after trusting in God’s Providence, and the kindness of others. At Dodding Green each person is given a job to do, including craft work, and building work around the property to support the hen-coops and pig-sties. However, they still need our help with food for their survival. They pray for these things daily. But if you can help in any way to fulfil hopes and their prayers, with foodstuffs like pasta, tinned goods, packets of tea or coffee etc, then everything will be received with great gratitude.
Once again the Cenacolo Community in Kendal give a very big ‘Thank You’ to St Teresa’s for the food, clothing and other items which you have given. Carolyn, who organises our contributions, and takes them writes - “Every item is gratefully received. Of course, members of the community are not allowed to go to the shops to buy food. They totally depend upon Providence, working through generous people.
NEW CENACOLO PRAYER MEETING - This places each Tuesday evening 7-8 pm in church here at St Teresa’s, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. This ‘Holy Hour’ will primarily be a gathering of people asking the Holy Spirit to come and enlighten and heal (especially those suffering from addiction). Like the first disciples in the Cenacle (upper room), we too are called to live in truth by charity and mutual support, relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to aid us in our weakness.
To gather in a ‘Cenacolo’ or ‘Cenacle’ means also to give ourselves to Our Lady who became Mother of us all at the foot of the Cross, and was also present and is present in every ‘cenacle meeting’.
The people of St Teresa’s have been very generous (and continue to be) with their gifts of food etc, for the Cenacolo Community. You now have the opportunity of giving spiritually as we join with other ‘Cenacolo Prayer Groups’ not only in Great Britain but around the world. If you happen to know of others outside the Parish who are interested in supporting us or maybe would like to find out more about the community, then please bring them along.

ST TERESA’S PASTORAL VISITING GROUP
“Gifted by the Spirit, St Teresa’s will be a living, Christ-centred community of worship, witness and service to all.”
This Vision Statement, agreed at a Parish meeting three years ago, reminds us of our Mission as a Parish Community. We come together at Mass to share in the Eucharist and to be strengthened for these tasks, but there are many who, by virtue of sickness or disability, are unable to be present with us and can feel isolated and forgotten. They need to feel they still belong and that the Parish still cares. Of course we all must help where possible and excellent work is already undertaken by the SVP and by the Special Ministers of the Eucharist, but Parish meetings have highlighted a need for further support. “Offering My Time and Gifts” produced a group of volunteers who by reason of work or family obligations, can make only a limited commitment to this work, but are willing to share the responsibility as part of a group.
The Aim of the Group is to visit and give each person a sense that, within the Parish community they are known, respected and valued even if they are unable to attend Mass or other activities, and to befriend and give caring support as required. As Parish representatives, volunteers will visit the sick, housebound and those in hospital upon request and by prior arrangement. They will keep people in touch with Parish news and supply them with the Parish Bulletin on visiting, and they will emphasise how much their prayers can help the Parish community and that they can indeed be a “powerhouse of prayer”.

I felt very fortunate to live in this part of the world. I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I promise not to waste water. I pray that this little boy be alleviated from his suffering.
