For your interest, Wednesday will be the Feast Day of Margaret Clitherow, an English saint and martyr of the Roman Catholic Church. Known as "the Pearl of York", she was pressed to death in March 1586 for refusing to enter a plea to the charge of harbouring Catholic priests. She was canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI. There is no connection between St Margaret Clitherow and St. Margaret of Antioch (Patron saint of childbirth & pregnant women)
The following is a brief account of the experience of a young member of St. Margaret’s congregation who has recently attended the World Youth Day event held in Portugal.
"I recently arrived back from the 17th World Youth Day held in Lisbon. WYD was created as an opportunity for young people from around the world to come together in prayer around the Pope. It was a wonderful experience with 500k people coming to greet Pope Francis in the opening ceremony and an estimated 1.5m people attending the final closing mass with the Pope. We slept outside overnight in a specially created park just to see Pope Francis in the closing Mass the next morning. It was incredible to see the strong faith of so many young people. Jack Booth"
As some of you may be aware, a lot of building maintenance work has been taking place at Our Lady of Dover. The Baptistry floor was renewed, internal repairs carried out and the church guttering repainted. We hope you agree, it’s looking good now.
John Packer of St Margaret’s was laid to rest on 23rd August. Many of his family and friends attended to say their personal farewells to him. May he rest in peace.

Father Gary Gill 1944-2019
On a recent visit to St Mary’s Cemetery I noticed that Father Gary’s grave and others in the area were unkempt and the grass overgrown. Having then tidied the grace, I contacted Dover District Council to enquire why the grass was not being cut? I was informed that the policy of grass cutting is only once a year for that part of the cemetery. Father Garry was very much a Dover Priest. He was baptized into the C of E and received a Catholic education at the Ursuline convent in Dover. He was later ordained as a C of E Priest, serving St Nicholas Parish in Buckland and later was received into the Catholic Church being ordained at St Paul’s Dover in 2001 and serving there for two years. Father Garry was a Catholic Priest to us all and deserves to be remembered. Would you consider to ‘adopt’ and maintain his grave – perhaps working in partnership with a parishioner at St Paul’s? In the first instance speak to Deacon Jed who will be very pleased to hear from you.
Church Cleaning at Buckland this coming Friday 25th August following 10;00 am Mass. Please join the team to make our Church both welcoming and refreshing! No previous experience required!
John Packer’s funeral will take place this Wednesday 23rd August commencing with a Requiem Mass in St.Francis Chapel, St Margaret’s Bay at 11;30am. Internment at St Margaret’s churchyard at 12;30pm.

Diocesan Renewal ‘Some Definite Service’ is an evangelical initiative, encompassing catechesis, evangelisation and adult formation initiative by Archbishop John Wilson that is currently being introduced to our Deanery, comprising of six parishes: Buckland, Deal, Dover, Folkestone, Hythe and Mongeham. It is intended that a unique ‘Parish Plan’ for each Parish will be established, leading to the growth of our Catholic faith. Your support is essential as each Parish will be looking to recruit and train three ‘Parish Leads’.
We would dearly love an enthusiastic and talented person to organise and develop the Parish website. This is an exciting opportunity to help develop the Parish and promote our faith. Please speak to Pauline Lloyd at Buckland (01304 826529) or Deacon Jed.
