November is the month when we remember those members of our families and parish 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.
With every best wish and blessing
to you, your families and those
who are dear to you.
Monsignor Tony.
