“The Church in the British Isles will only begin to grow when
she begins again to venerate her own saints.” St Arsenios of Paros

SUNDAY VIGIL MASS (on Saturday night):

We
would like to ask your opinion. With the increasing darkness
and the clock going back one hour at the end of this month is it
worthwhile us adjusting the current time of the Vigil Mass? To
avoid ‘clashing’ with the Vigil Mass at St Brendan’s Church (at
6:00pm) perhaps our Vigil Mass could be offered at 5:30pm?
Please let the clergy know your opinion on this ASAP.

14th October and 15th October:

Fr Christopher & Fr Wayne are participating in
the Annual Altar Servers Mass and celebrations
in St David’s Metropolitan Cathedral, Cardiff.
Please pray for all our altar servers.

Last weekend

Fr Christopher and Fr Wayne unexpectedly
found themselves celebrating Sunday Masses in other parishes
where the Priest was ill; do be assured that you were held in
prayer. Please pray for all who are sick in body, mind or soul.

The Northampton Male Voice Choir

will be
performing at Northampton Cathedral to raise funds for the

October. Tickets cost £15 from the Cathedral Office: 01604 714
556 or https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/northamptoncathedral

World Mission Sunday (WMS)

On donations are
collected at Masses across the world and go, in their entirety,
to support the Church, hospitals, schools and lay and ordained
vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor.
Missio is papal agency responsible for coordinating WMS and it
works to ensure that resources are distributed equitably to
Bishops in mission territories. Thus, in union with the whole
Church, on 21st/22nd October there will be a retiring collection.

With every blessing this Ordinary Time,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne

The lamp in the Chapel of Our Lady of Walsingham Church burns in prayer for:

Habib and Evelyne Sobhi, RIP
