FR DAVID WRITES
Today is Remembrance Sunday. The Requiem Mass for the fallen will be celebrated at the 10am Sunday Mass. This will be also be the Church Parade with representatives of our uniformed groups (the entire troops will not parade due to Covid precautions). We had a lovely Remembrance Assembly in the primary school on Thursday which was also Armistice Day. Thank you to everyone who came this week to support our CAFOD hunger lunch on Thursday, or to hear Fr Matt give his reflection at Mass on Friday. Thanks also to parishioners who joined us for the Deanery Mass last Tuesday or the Diocesan Mass last Wednesday. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated.

Congratulations and best wishes to the forty four young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation here on Friday evening. Thank you to the candidates, sponsors and families. We also thank the team of catechists for helping to prepare the young people, and everyone who helped with the lovely celebration in church, either in preparing or celebrating the liturgy.

ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS
Today is the solemnity of All Saints. This is the feast of the Church Triumphant, where all the saints are gathered around the Lord. The witness and prayers of the saints spurs us on, and their powerful intercession helps us on our journey towards heaven. Tuesday is All Souls' Day. This commemoration of the faithful departed is not a feast but a day of prayer for the Holy Souls which spills over into the rest of November. There will be an extra Mass at 7pm that day to pray for our departed loved ones. We will continue our prayers and Masses for the faithful departed throughout the month.

FR DAVID WRITES
It has taken a long time to put things back together safely in the parish. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far, including with our new readers’ list, the church cleaners, singers and musicians, collectors, counters, florists and to other groups who have started back. We are now looking for help to start tea and coffee on Sunday mornings after the 10am and 11.15am Masses, and for volunteers to man the shop on Sunday mornings. Perhaps you did these roles before and would like to begin again, or maybe you are new to these roles—either way, your help would be great. Please speak to Fr David or Fr Andrew today, or contact the office during the week.
