Annual Parish Statistics

We shall count the number of people at each Sunday Mass
over the coming weekends as part of our diocesan submission.

At the suggestion of Pope Francis, we offer this prayer for the
unity of the Catholic Church and the end of all forms of abuse:

Holy Michael the Archangel,

defend us in this day of battle. Be our safeguard against
the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke
him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly
host, by the power of God, thrust down into hell satan, and
all evil spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of
souls. Amen

The Blessing of Graves

will take place on Saturday,
4th November at 12noon in Shire Lodge Cemetery. Darley Dale
Co-op funeral services will provide refreshments afterwards.

Thank you

to everyone who contributed to the Second
Collection last weekend for the Bishop’s Mission Directorate.

New Lectionary for England and Wales:

This new Lectionary, which includes the Sacred Scripture
readings for Mass and the sacraments, will come into use in
England and Wales from Advent AD 2024. The translation of
the sacred texts is the English Standard Version (Catholic
Edition) along with the Abbey Psalms and Canticles and the
books will be produced by the Catholic Truth Society. The
introduction of the new Lectionary will provide an opportunity
for catechesis regarding how we encounter Christ in the
reading and proclamation of the Sacred Scriptures. Still
further, it will help readers to perform this important liturgical
role on behalf of the whole community. We shall also be
encouraged to observe a brief period of silence after each
reading so as to take the word of God to heart. This is
therefore the perfect opportunity to thank everyone who
reads the Sacred Scriptures at Mass and thus enables us as a
community of Faith to hear and respond to the voice of God.

Parish Solemnity

of
