November is the month when we remember those members of our families and parishioners who have died and we pray especially for them.
- The Book of Remembrance is at the back of the Church into which you can add the names of any people you wish to be remembered and who have died in the past year. If you have put names in in previous years there is no need to repeat the entry.
- The annual November Mass for the repose of the souls of all deceased parishioners, friends and families will take place on Friday 24th November (this coming Friday) at 7.00 p.m. in the Church. All are welcome to come and take part and please feel free to invite relatives and friends of parishioners who have died who may live in other parishes.
The Card Stall has the December/Advent issues of ‘Day by Day’ and Living Faith available. Please collect you copy if you have pre-ordered one.
With every best wish and Blessing
To you, your families
and those who are dear to you
Monsignor Tony
