9/11/2025 [1] In this November Month of praying for our beloved who have died, the Thirty-Second Sunday of Year C celebrates Jesus the source of a life that is truly eternal. His Easter Resurrection was Life conquering death, Light vanquishing darkness and Love overwhelming hate. We too are destined to find the fulness of Life Eternal as we enter the realm of the Resurrection.
[2] This is also Remembrance Sunday, when together with all our nation we remember all who have died in the too many wars of the 20th and 21st Century, including those still raging today. We do not glorify the horror and pity of war, but rather cry out for Peace upon the Earth. We offer the Mass for Peace.
[3] We continue our Retiring Collection for CAFOD for the people of Gaza – please, please be generous – the need is so great.
16/11/2025 [1] On the Thirty-Third Sunday of Year C we celebrate Jesus Who will come again in Glory to gather all creation into His Body, for He is the Alpha and the Omega – the beginning of all Creation and the Final goal of evolution in the fulfilment of all Creation. Our Mission is to shape a world ready for His Coming, but this Mission will involve the Church in persecution. Be ready!
[2] Mass with the LGBTQ+ community and friends at 3.00pm – all welcome
FEAST OF THE CHRIST THE KING – NATIONAL YOUTH SUNDAY Final Sunday of the Liturgical Year, we celebrate the fulfilment of all Creation in Christ’s reconciling love. We invite all our young people to take a special part in our Sunday Mass – please contact Benedicta and Eustace and fulfil a ministry during the Mass.
PRAY FOR THIS WEEK’S PARISH MINISTRY OR MISSION 9/11/2025 We pray for our Ministry of Altar Serving. We rejoice in our excellent team of Altar Servers who enable and enhance our Sunday Liturgy. They work so well together they are an example to all our parish of great team work. We are training new altar servers (boys and girls of any age after they have celebrated their First Eucharist) at this time on a Saturday – the precise time to be confirmed. Please see Richard or Mary.
16/11/2025 We pray for our Ministry of the Journey of Faith. We are called to share our faith not only with each other but with all who might come to us searching for new meaning, a new wisdom – the Gospel and the love of Christ. That is the purpose of our Journey of Faith group. It also serves Catholics who wish to explore about their faith more deeply and seek a renewal in Christ and his Spirit. Adult Catholics who have not yet been Confirmed in the Holy Spirit – this group is also for you in your journey towards completing your ‘Initiation into Christ’. The group is animated by Richard, Mary Hopper and Margaret Ulloa – interested in joining? please contact us.
