NOVEMBER, THE MONTH OF PRAYER FOR OUR DEAD:

We remember our loved ones who have died every day
but November is a special month of remembrance. We
will have the Masses for All Souls Day which is on Mon-
day 3rd November this year. We will then have Masses at
St Brendan’s on 10th November 7.00pm and Our Lady’s
on 12th November at 7.00pm when we will read out the
names of those who have died over the last year and
whose funerals were officiated by the priests in the three
parishes. The names of those whose funerals took place
at St John Ogilvie’s will be read at the Mass at Our Lady’s.
For our beloved dead we pray that they may rest in
peace.

NOVEMBER LISTS FOR THE DEAD. Whilst we remember
our beloved dead every day, November is a special
month when we remember them in a special way and
entrust them to the loving embrace of God. We have put
out the envelopes for you to put in your lists and will
place them in a box in front of the altar and pray for them
everyday during the month of November.

ber, 7-8pm Our Lady of Walsingham Parish Room -

AND CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES: If you haven’t al-
ready done so please could parents hand in a copy of
their child’s baptism certificate if they were not baptised
in any of our 3 Corby parishes. Some parents have hand-
ed in birth certificates but we do not need these, just
their baptism certificates. Many thanks.

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CATHOLIC? If anyone is in-
terested in knowing more about the Catholic Faith, then
you are encouraged to join in the RCIA/Journy in Faith
Group on Monday evenings in the Parish Room at St
Brendan’s Church after the 7pm Mass. It is an opportunity
for people to come and reflect on the faith in a relaxed
setting. If you know someone who may be interested
encourage them to come along or offer to come with
them.

MARRIAGE MEETING: For couples who are planning to
get married in one of the Catholic Churches in Corby, a
Catholic Church abroad or a Church in another part of the
country please come along to a marriage evening on
Wednesday 3rd December at St Brendan’s at 7.00pm. Fr
Mark and Fr Liam will explain the procedures and the
forms that need to be filled in. They will also outline the
marriage course that needs to be completed online and
answer any questions you may have. Please inform the
parish office if you are planning to get married in one of
the Churches in Corby.

BABY BASICS AND SVP GIVING TREE: There has been a
recent tradition of donating gifts to families who need
support with baby items and we wish to continue this. I
know there has been a great response from our 3 parish-
es which we can be very proud of. In order to have plenty
of time for the gifts to be distributed to families before
schools break up for Christmas by Bay Basics charity and
the SVP we will have the Giving Trees up for the week-
ends 15/16 and 22/23 November. The SVP Giving Tree
will propose items which you are invited to take and buy
the gift which will then be distributed to those in need.

REFRESHMENTS are served after Sunday’s 11:00am Mass
& Tuesday’s Mass at St Brendan’s; and after Wednesday’s
recitation of the Holy Rosary at Our Lady of Walsingham.
