FR DAVID WRITES
This coming Friday we will welcome all the children and staff from Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School to celebrate their ‘Welcome Mass’ at the beginning of the new school year. Friday is also the Feast of St Edward the Confessor, Patron of the Diocese, and incidentally, the sixth anniversary of my installation as the Parish Priest of New Southgate. Please pray for me and each other. God bless.

FR DAVID WRITES
Thank you to everyone who came to pray at the cemetery Mass and the prayer afterwards. This week we had the internal audit in the parish and I’m pleased to report it went very well. Can I take this opportunity to thank our parish office staff, all our collectors and counters, and the members of the parish finance committee. Your dedication, generosity and professionalism is a great gift to the parish. May God bless you all in the coming week.

FR DAVID WRITES
Well done and thank you to everyone involved in our school who have had the Diocesan Inspection this week. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.

OCTOBER
October is month of the Holy Rosary. You can join the rosary here every weekday at 9.30am, before 10am Mass. A plenary indulgence may be obtained, under the usual conditions, by reciting five decades of the Rosary in church, as a family at home, as a religious community or as a pious association, or in general whenever several persons have gathered for a good purpose; in every other circumstance, a partial indulgence may be gained.

FR DAVID WRITES
This week we welcome back all our children, staff and helpers to the new school term and year. We hope the summer holidays have been both enjoyable and restful, and send you good wishes and blessings for the academic year ahead. Best wishes to everyone going off to college and university. We send special prayers with Ashley who will begin his time at Allen Hall Seminary on Friday. This coming Friday is also the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. May the Lord be with you all in the coming week.
