THE MASS ON THURSDAY is a School class Mass. Come and see how the children of St Teresa’s School are learning that
the Mass is central to our Catholic
way of life. As a very dear parishioner said to me, years ago, on his death
bed….”The Mass is everything”. If we do
not teach that then there is nothing!
FOR THE LIVING AND FOR
THE DEAD and in
November we think especially of the dead. In the Communion of Saints we remain
united to our dear dead and they to us until we all meet again at the last day. During
the month of November we pray for our dead and have Masses said for them. The
Holy Souls Box in the Church can be used for this or you can let me have a
request for a particular Mass Intention: The main thing is that we do not
forget our dead and that we strive to live in the same
hope that we shall see them again. And don’t forget that our Christian hope is
a theological virtue…it comes from God.
THE YOUTH CONCERT with your support raised an amazing
£1821.85. How wonderful! This money will go to the rehabilitation of child
soldiers in

in Walsingham Hall next Friday 7th
November 7.00 - 9.00pm All young people who are aged between 11 – 18 years (7 –
