All Saints’ Day

This Sunday is the solemnity of All Saints!

AllSaints2011(small)

“Today, by your gift we celebrate the festival of your city, the heavenly Jerusalem, our mother, where the great array of our brothers and sisters already gives you eternal praise. Towards her, we eagerly hasten as pilgrims advancing by faith, rejoicing in the glory bestowed upon those exulted members of the Church through whom you give us, in our frailty, both strength and good example. And so we glorify you with the multitude of Saints and Angles.”

(Preface of the Mass of All Saints)

Marian Prayer Night

Mary

To all those who helped contribute to the Marian evening, thank you very much. Such a successful evening does just happen by itself. From the those who decorated the church, to those who provided music, from those who helped in the planning and those who provided refreshments, and of course those who helped to tidy up: you all did your bit. Well done and thank you.

Fr Liam has had many comments from those who enjoyed the video presentation and found it informative… and many more comments from those who liked the candle-lit Rosary prayer service.

An evening of Marian devotion to end the Month of the Rosary.

Thursday 30th October, 7pm, St David and St Patrick Catholic Church.

The evening will start with a video presentation looking at Marian apparitions and theology. Then there will be chance for tea, coffee and some light bites, which will be followed by a candle-lit prayer service incorporating many Marian Prayers and devotions – including the Rosary.

Home again

Fr Liam has now returned from his retreat and Fr Owen is back from Fatima! We returned home to lots of emails and 27 ‘phone messages! Please do be patient while we try to get through them all and get back on top of things!
