Requiescat in Pace

Please pray for the repose of the soul of:

James Brennan whose Memorial Mass is at OLW Church,
Occupation Road, on Saturday, 11th November at 2:30pm.

May Christ, who called you, take you to Himself;
may angels lead you to Abraham’s side.
Receive their souls and present them to God the Most High.

Sacramental Preparation in AD 2023/2024

Now is the time to enrol your child for our parishes:

Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion Course

Children must be in School Year 3 and over.

Sacrament of Confirmation Course

Children must be in School Year 6 and above.

To enrol on the above courses, please email the parish office:
parish.ourladyofwalsingham@northamptondiocese.org
and clearly state that you want to enrol your child for either:
“First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion” course
or the “Sacrament of Confirmation” course.
We will add your child’s name to the list and inform you about
what happens next in due course. Participation every Sunday
in Holy Mass, in either of our churches, is compulsory.

World Mission Sunday (WMS)

On this monetary
donations are collected at Masses across the world and go, in
entirety, to support the Church, hospitals, schools, plus lay and
ordained vocations in countries where the Church is young,
new or poor. Missio coordinates WMS. Thus, in union with
the whole Church, there is a second collection this weekend.

Sunday Vigil Mass (on Saturday night):

Having sort your opinion regarding the possibility of changing
the time of this Mass, the overwhelming response has been
one of support. Therefore, from Saturday, 4th November the
Vigil Mass will be celebrated at 5:30pm in OLW Church.

Thank you

to everyone from both parts of our community
who offered the daily novena and to those who participated in
the Dedication Anniversary Mass for St John Ogilvie Church;
likewise, thank you to everyone who stayed for refreshments.
Our Lady of Walsingham and St John Ogilvie: Pray for us.

Did you know

that it is canonical necessity that a Sunday
Mass be offered for the parish (“Pro Populo”) each week?

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

If you would like to Sponsor the Our Lady

of Walsingham Sanctuary Lamp to burn in
prayer - for any intention - for seven days in
OLW, please contact the Parish Office. A
donation of £5.00 is suggested (which is for
parish funds). Thank you to everyone who
has sponsored this lamp. Deo gratias!

When England goes back to Walsingham, Our Lady
will come back to England”. Pope Leo XIII, 1897

A Rorate Caeli Mass is often celebrated just
before dawn in Advent in honour of Our
Lady. This Mass is offered by candlelight
only and signifies Our Lady’s role in bringing
the Light of the World: Jesus, into the true
darkness of human sin. For us, this would
be a great way to anticipate Advent and to
begin our Christmas spiritual preparations.
If participating in Mass at 7:15am in OLW
on Saturday, 2nd December would be of interest please speak
to the clergy! Mass at 9:30am would be celebrated as normal.

Good Counsel Network: 27th October this year sees
the fifty-sixth anniversary of the passing of the Abortion Act in
England and Wales; please pray for all affected by abortion.

Rosary for Peace in the Holy Land:

→ Pope
Francis has urged us to take the side of peace at this time of
conflict in the Middle East. In this regard, the Holy Father
requests that we unite in a day of prayer, fasting and penance
on Friday, 27th October: “I invite all the particular Churches to
take part by organising…initiatives which involve the people of
God”. See the calendar for the Rosary at 9:00am and 6:00pm.

Mass for Peace in the Holy Land:

David on Saturday, 28th October at 11:30am in the Cathedral.
