Margaret Taylor, whose Funeral Liturgy is at 10:30am
in Our Lady of Walsingham Church on Thursday, 21st
November.

✝ HOLY MASS on THURSDAY of this
week will be celebrated at 9:00am.

→ See the calendar for details of when the Rosary
is offered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

November is the time when we specifically pray for
our departed loved ones and for all the Holy Souls in
Purgatory as we aid them in their journey to be with
God. If you write the names of your deceased loved
ones, and place this list in the remembrance box, Mass
will be offered for them during November and prayers
asked for them at each Sunday Mass. There are “All
Souls” envelopes in Church for this purpose; there is
no need to make any financial donation for this.

The Tuesday Prayer Group will start at 5:30pm
and will include Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

The Royal Mail is marking
the Christmas season with

five special stamps,

that feature illustrations of
Cathedrals, from across the
UK. It is said that Cardinal
Nichols, the Archbishop of
Westminster, is delighted
with this as Westminster is
one of the Cathedrals (and
the only Catholic one) to be
depicted! Cardinal Nicholas said: “We’re so proud
because it means that the image will be seen by many,
many people…I hope that seeing the image, they’ll
understand that a church is a place where God dwells
and where that sense of God’s presence is intense,
comforting and consoling”. The Royal Mail has also
used the stamp images to create six commemorative
postcards. If you discover that your newsletter has a
small ‘hidden’ image of the Westminster Cathedral
stamp on it, please let the Parish Office know and we
will give you a free set of commemorative postcards!
Please note: There are four sets of postcards available.

With our prayers for your departed loved ones,
Fr Christopher & Fr Wayne
