FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: The next lesson for the children will
be next Saturday 22nd November at St Patrick’s Primary
School. We have placed copies of the programme at the back
of the Church, please pick one up if you have misplaced yours.
Please remember the children and their families in your pray-
ers.

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.

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CATHOLIC? If anyone is interest-
ed in knowing more about the Catholic Faith, then you are en-
couraged 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 mar-
ried in one of the Churches in Corby.

THE CROWN OF ADVENT NOVENA: This Novena begins on
Wednesday 17th December and finishes on Thursday 25th De-
cember. Prayers will include the ‘O Antiphons’, the seven jew-
els of the Advent Crown and this devotion will be offered for
the conversion of a loved one or loved ones. Chaplet beads and
Prayer Cards for the Novena will be available to buy at a cost
price of £2.00 from Sunday 23rd November.

BAPTISM MEETING: If you are planning for your child’s baptism
then please come to the next parents’ meeting on: Tuesday
13th January at 7:00pm at Our Lady of Walsingham.

BAPTISM CERTIFICATES FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AND

CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES: If you haven’t already 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 par-
ishes. Some parents have handed in birth certificates but we
do not need these, just their baptism certificates. Many
thanks.

NOTICES

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 parishes 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 weekends 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.

Lady of Walsingham’s Parish Room - Friendly Gathering with
