The Franciscan Friars will promote and invite people to come to the Mission at all the Sunday Masses. We expect that there will be three priests involved and a possible fourth person. It will take place from Monday 26^th to Thursday 29^th September. There will be the usual 10a.m. Mass each morning and there will be an extra Mass and Mission (Prayers & homily etc.) each evening at 7p.m.

        We invite people to come along and participate in this prayerful event in our Parish. We ask you to encourage people to come and to help them with transport if needed.

SAFETY DURING PARISH MISSION

We ask all healthy and mobile people to use street parking during the Mission 26^th to 29^th September. Leave the spaces in the church grounds for the disabled, the very elderly, those who find it hard to walk and the sick. Some may also need to leave off an elderly person near the church and go out of the grounds again. Those who need to park in the church grounds should not block any door entrance to the church with a car.  Please do not block any passageway in case an emergency vehicle may need to come into grounds. Thank you for your co-operation.

 

Please note that the Prayer Group meeting for next Tuesday 27^th September is cancelled due to the Mission. The next meeting will be on 11^th October in the Parish Office at 8 p.m.

The Prayer Group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month in the Meeting Room in the Parish Office at 8p.m.  It will include prayers, the Rosary, scripture readings, reflections and sharing. Hospitality is available if you wish. Prayer Meetings have had a profound effect on people’s lives over the years and many healings and blessings have been received by people. Come along.

 

The Autumn Offerings to the priests are due currently. We thank all who have contributed to the support of their pastors so far. If you do not have the yearly box of envelopes and want to contribute, you may do so by using the Autumn Station envelopes at the back of the church. Many thanks.

A special “Enrolment Mass” will be celebrated as follows:

6p.m. Mass on Sat. Oct. 1^st (Boys)

10a.m. Mass on Sun. Oct. 2^nd (Girls)

If any family is unable to attend the Mass relevant to their child, please go to the other enrolment Mass. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Since the pandemic several people have not ministered so we are very happy to welcome them back if they feel comfortable at this stage.  We also need new Readers, Eucharistic Ministers, and Collectors. Please think of serving the Lord and the local parish.
