As we approach the end of October, we begin to think about All Saints, All Souls and the month of praying for all souls. Throughout the year we pray for those who have died, that their sins may be forgiven and they may pass through purgatory and be admitted into the glory of God’s love in heaven.
Please remember that the Feast of All Saints (1st November) is a Holy Day of Obligation, with Masses in the Parish at 8am, 10am, and 7pm.
Mass for the Commemoration of all Souls is at 11am on Saturday 2nd November.

Thank you to all involved in our lovely ‘Welcome Mass’ celebrated on Friday to begin the new school year and term. This week we will welcome Father Anthony Fernandopulle who is visiting the parish from the Archdiocese of Columbo. Many of you may remember Fr Anthony as he previously spent some time in the parish for his studies in London. This coming Friday is CAFOD Family Fast Day (Harvest Fast Day) - please see the note opposite. May God bless us all in the coming week.

Monday 7th October is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary; which of all Catholic devotions is surely the closest to the heart of the Catholic community. However, we can very easily lost the habit of praying to Our Blessed Mother. We know as the mother of Christ the King, she is the Queen of Heaven and has a tremendous power of intercession. On Monday, and throughout October, we encourage all our parishioners to pray the rosary for their needs, the needs of the Church, and the needs of the whole World. May Our Lady, Queen of the Rosary, intercede for us.

Thank you for such a warm welcome into the Parish over the last two weeks. As you are mostly aware this is my first placement being ordained in June so I ask for your continued prayers that I may be given the grace to serve the Lord, and the Parish. This Sunday we hear the Lord telling us that “if anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.” Many times we want to be in places of exaltation, however my experience is that in following the Lord in this mission of service is to truly participate in the love that He has manifest for the world.
