FR TOM WRITES
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.

FR TOM WRITES
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.
