FR DAVID WRITES:
I am very pleased to say that Fr Andrew Bowden has been appointed as our new assistant priest, beginning at the start of December. Fr Andrew was ordained last year in Enfield Town and has been working as a chaplain at Westminster Cathedral. I’m so pleased he is coming to us and I know he will receive a very warm welcome. I look forward to a long and fruitful ministry for Fr Andrew here at Our Lady of Lourdes!

SICK & RETIRED PRIESTS’ COLLECTION:
Next week our parish will take up the annual collection to support the sick and retired priests of the Diocese of Westminster. Your generous donation helps ensure that these priests, having followed their vocation and given their lives to the Church, are cared for and supported when they are sick and when they retire. The Sick & Retired Priests’ Fund helps cover the medical, housing, convalescence, and personal needs of these priests, as well as helping them in an emergency. They have been here for us; let us be there for them. Donation leaflets are available in the back of the church today. Please take one home, read about this important work, and bring it back next weekend with your donation. Please continue to pray for the wellbeing of all of our clergy: active, retired and ill. You can donate online anytime at www.rcdow.org.uk/donations

WORLD PORRIDGE DAY:
On Sunday 28th October we will be supporting the Mary’s Meals World Porridge Day appeal. Why porridge? In Malawi, Liberia and Zambia, the children receive vitamin-enriched maize porridge every school day. World Porridge Day celebrates the huge difference this daily mug of porridge makes to the lives of chronically hungry children. £2 provides a hungry child with meals in school for a month. You can pick up a portion of porridge oats in the parish centre after Mass and make a donation to Mary’s Meals. Thank you.
