SEASON OF MISTS AND MELLOW FRUITFULNESS and also the time when we think of our dear dead. Next Sunday we celebrate All
Saints and remember with gratitude those countless uncanonised
saints who carried their crosses cheerfully and who handed on the faith to us.
Then on Monday 2nd November we keep All Souls Day …. we remember our dear dead in purgatory “that they may be
loosed from their sins” There is a Holy Souls box in the church or you can hand
in a Mass intention. Mass on All Souls Day will be at 10.00am and 7.00pm.
