100 Club to 200 Club Important Update!
February’s winning number was 12.
The current 100 club expires on March 31st. The last draw will be made on Sunday 2nd March.
Changes are afoot! Thank you for your feedback on the 100 club.. We realise not everyone had the chance to take a number last year, and bearing in mind your suggestions, the 100 club is to expand to a 200 club to give those who missed joining last year the opportunity to take part. The prize money will increase to 3 prizes per month and 5 prizes at Christmas.
Please grab your numbers 200 club by March 15th. The cost remains the same at £10 per number.
Please see Mary Q, Anne M, or Keith for more information and to join.

AFRICAN MASS
Every 3rd Sunday of the month, there’s an African style Mass at 3pm held at St Hugh’s in Lincoln. We are hoping to make people aware of this Mass and invite them to come and enjoy/participate in the Mass which includes African hymns and drums. The next African Mass will be held at St Hugh’s Catholic Church, Broadgate, Lincoln LN2 5AQ on Sunday the 16th February 2025 at 3pm. The Mass will be in English. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you.

Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever. Amen
For your information or assistance…
We have two email addresses that perform different roles. Just to clear any confusion here is a reminder.
holyroodchurchmr@outlook.com is the one to use to communicate with Fr. Robert directly re spiritual, personal, or ongoing matters.
holyroodmr@gmail.com was set up in 2020 to deal with general enquiries, communication generated via the website, and third parties such as West Lindsey churches festival. These emails are initially looked at by the bulletin team and passed to Fr. Robert if appropriate.
God bless you all,
