Requiescant in Pace:

All the faithful departed

✝ HOLY MASS on TUESDAY

will be celebrated at 8:00am.

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

November is when we especially pray for the souls
in Purgatory and for our departed loved ones as we
aid them in their journey to be with God. If you write
the names of your deceased loved ones, and place this
in the appropriate box, Mass will be offered for them
and prayers asked for them at each Sunday Mass.

Charity ‘Events’:

• Two Giving Trees are now displayed in the Church
of Our Lady of Walsingham (and will also be next
weekend). Please take a tag from either tree, one
in support of “Baby Basics” and the other for
those in need, and then buy someone a present.
Thank you in advance for your support of this.
• A ‘400 Square Board’ prize draw will be available
on 7th/8th December to raise funds for Our Lady of
Walsingham parish; the winning prize is £50!
Thank you in advance for your support of this.

The seven-day lamps in Our Lady of Walsingham
Church are available to sponsor for a donation of £5.

Advent On-line Retreat: On four consecutive
Mondays at 7:30pm, starting on 25th November, Avril
Baigent and Canon John Udris will be leading an on-
line retreat called ‘Doorways to Grace’. The retreat
will explore the four Holy Doors of Rome and how we
are called into a grace filled encounter with Jesus in
the 2025 Jubilee Year. To see the trailer and register,
visit: https://northamptondiocese.org/doorways/

The Tuesday Prayer Group will start at 5:30pm
and will include Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament;
all are welcome to participate in this time of prayer.

“Assist us to live, not to die” - Please ensure you

New Translation of the Lectionary:

From the First Sunday of Advent (1st December) we
shall be using, along with all parishes in England and
Wales, the new translation of the lectionary. This is a
good moment to refresh our minds and hearts that:
• The First, and Second Reading if there is one, ends
with: “The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.”
• The reader won’t say: “The response to the Psalm
is…” but will say the response and we repeat it.
• The reader won’t say: “We stand for the Gospel”.
• In the Bidding Prayers the reader will pause after
each intention so that we might pray and will end
the silence with: “Lord in your mercy” or similar.

New Translation of the Lectionary - Missal:

Copies of the Sunday Missal can be purchased (£13)
from the Our Lady of Walsingham Church repository.

Well done to everyone who
spotted the ‘hidden’ Christmas
stamp on the newsletter last
weekend and who won a set of
Royal Mail commemorative
postcards! For those who didn’t
spot the ‘hidden’ stamp it was
below the image of St Michael the
Archangel (see photograph).

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

Lady of Grace burns daily in prayer for:
