Congratulations to Fr Andrew Bowden who was installed as the Parish Priest of Poplar on Friday evening. Thank you to those who joined us. This weekend we have our big Christmas Market in the hall after all Masses. Please come into the hall on this special weekend! This Wednesday is Red Wednesday, a day of solidarity with the persecuted Church. There will be exposition here after the 10am Mass. Also on Wednesday, at 5.30pm in Westminster Cathedral, we will celebrate the annual Mass for the deceased priests of the diocese - all are welcome. The same evening is also our St Cecilia’s Day concert here at 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome to both events. Finally, Wednesday is also the 15th anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood - please pray for me! Thank you, God bless you all, and have a wonderful weekend.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
Today is Remembrance Sunday. We welcome members of our uniformed groups to the 10am and 11.15am Masses for our parades in remembrance of the fallen. RIP.

Wednesday is the solemnity of All Saints, a holy day of obligation. Thursday is All Souls’ Day (the commemoration of all the faithful departed). Our special Mass for deceased members of the parish and our own loved ones will take place on Thursday at 7.30pm. I hope everyone had a lovely half term and pray for God’s blessing on the special time ahead of us. Please remember the clocks go back on Saturday night/Sunday morning this weekend.

FR DAVID WRITES
We had a lovely week celebrating the beginning of November with All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. We continue to pray for the faithful departed throughout his month of the Holy Souls. Please join us this coming Saturday morning at 11.30am to say thank you and farewell to Fr Jerome. Thank you for you contributions towards the special presentation. May God continue to bless us all.
