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

Peter Michael Doherty whose Funeral Mass is at OLW Church,

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.

Thank you

to everyone who contributed to the World
Mission Sunday second collection last weekend which totaled:
£450.15. This supports the Church in areas of greatest need.

Thank you

to everyone who participated in either of the
rosaries for “Peace in the Holy Land” last Friday and who at the
prompting of Pope Francis observed this as a day of penance.

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.

Did you know

that it is a canonical necessity that Mass
be offered for the parish or group of parishes - “Pro Populo” -
every Holy Day of Obligation including on a Sunday?

Sunday, 12th November:

The 10:00am Mass will be
offered as a requiem for those who died in war and conflict;
we shall also observe the national one-minute silence at 11am.

Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament

will take place on the Satudays of Advent at OLW from 10am
to 10:30am (during the time for the Sacrament of Confession).

Guild of St Stephen:

After a probationary period, Altar
Servers can be admitted to this international group and receive
a bronze medal; after ten years they receive a silver medal and
after fifty years a gold medal. See here for some photographs -
including of Fr Christopher! - from the Annual Guild Mass:

Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Primary School; from Mrs M. Hayes, Head Teacher:

“We are delighted that our latest Ofsted inspection was so
positive and recognises the part our school plays at the heart
of our parish community. … We are welcoming visits from
families looking for a school place in Reception for September
2024. You are welcome to visit us at a time convenient for
you. Please contact the school office on 01536 203805.”

A Rorate Caeli Mass is offered by candlelight
only and signifies Mary’s role in bringing the
Light of the World: Jesus, into the darkness of
human sin. If participating in Mass at 7:15am
in OLW on Saturday, 2nd December would be of
interest speak to the clergy. It would be great
to have a full Church for this celebration! Mass
will also be offered at 9:30am as normal.

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

for the Holy Souls in Purgatory as we aid them in their journey
to Heaven. Details about our Requiem Masses for All Souls
Day (2nd November) can be found above. The 10:00am Mass
on 12th November will be offered for those who have died as
result of war and conflict. If you would like to write the names
of your deceased loved ones and place this list in the
appropriate box in Church, Mass will be celebrated for them
during November and prayers offered for them at each Sunday
Mass during that month. There is no need for a donation.

Requiem Mass for All the Faithful Departed on 2nd November at 7pm

: All those whose funerals
have taken place over the last twelve months in the parishes
will be prayed for by name during this Mass. If you would like
the name of a loved one who has died during the past year,
but whose funeral took place elsewhere, to be included in this
Mass please contact Maggie at the Parish Office with details.

Blessing of Graves: This will take place on Saturday, 4th
November at 12:00noon in Shire Lodge Cemetery; all welcome.

Grave Candle:

If you would like this (or water) blessed,
please speak to a Priest after Mass who will happily oblige.

With every blessing this Ordinary Time,
