Friday was Armistice Day and today (Sunday) is Remembrance Sunday. The Requiem Mass with the church parade will take place at the 10am Mass. Next weekend is the solemnity of Christ the King, the last Sunday in the Church’s liturgical calendar. This is also a special day of prayer for young people which looks towards the celebration of World Youth Day which will take place next summer in Lisbon with Pope Francis.

I hope everyone had a happy half-term! This week is the beginning of November, the month of the Holy Souls. Tuesday is the great solemnity of All Saints, a holy day of obligation (yes, they do still exist!) Wednesday is All Souls’ Day, the commemoration of all the faithful departed. On both days, there are three Masses here at 8am, 10am and 7.30pm. The evening Mass on Wednesday is our special Mass for our departed loved ones. Do please come along and light a candle during Mass for those who have died. If you haven’t done so already, please send in the names of the deceased to go in our Book of Remembrance. Have a good week.

Our prayers for the Holy Souls continue throughout the month and our Book of Remembrance will remain in place next to the Paschal Candle in church. There are some further commemorations in the parish, deanery and diocese. The dates are outlined below. We wish you all every blessing for the week ahead.
