"My God is the rock where I take refuge,

Remember the Dead—Praying for the dead, especially during the month of November, reminds us that the Church is not confined to this world, but extends into the next as well.  By praying for the dead, as we prayed for them while they were alive, we can establish a special link with the “communion of saints”.  The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered up every day during the month of November for the Holy Souls. Please feel free to enter names of departed loved ones in the book of remembrance.

Memorial Mass – for all the faithful departed, and remembering and praying particularly for all those who have died in our parish over the past year. Mass will be on Sunday, 2nd November at 10am. After Mass, there will be refreshments served in the hall. All are very welcome.

Please help the passkeepers tidy up the Church for the next Mass by placing your hymn books and Mass card neatly on the ledge in front of you, and by removing any litter and abandoned bulletins. Many thanks.
