Tuesday, 11th February:

The optional memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes is the
World Day of Prayer for the Sick. Please remember
the sick, the suffering and housebound in your prayers
on that day and all those who care for them. In the
attached envelope is a petition slip which we ask that
you write the name of someone who is sick (in body,
mind or soul) on and place this in the petitions box in
the Church; → the Rosary will be offered at 10:00am
on 11th February (in Our Lady of Walsingham Church)
and at 9:05am on 14th February (in St John Ogilvie
Church) for these people and for all who suffer.
