REFLECTION
In the rising of the sun and its going down . . . . . . . .
We remember them
In the blowing of the wind and the chill of the winter . . . . . . . .
We remember them
In the opening of the buds and the warmth of summer . . . . . . . .
We remember them
In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of Autumn . . . . . . . .
We remember them
In the beginning of the year and when it ends . . . . . . . .
We remember them
When we are weary and in need of strength . . . . . . . .
We remember them
When we are lost and sick of heart . . . . . . . . . .
We remember them
When we have joy and yearn to share . . . . . . . .
We remember them
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are part of us . . . . . . . .
We remember them
When we grow old and forgetful
we still know . . . . . . . . .
God remembers them
Remembrance Weekend
Those who died during the past year are remembered in a special way at our Masses this weekend. We give thanks for the wonderful gift of family, kind neighbours and friendship. All of us are shaped and influenced by what has happened in the past. Today and during November we pray for those who have died and acknowledge their influence in our own lives.
The Holy Souls
Novena of Masses continues to Saturday, 19th November. Mass each day at 10.00 am and also at 6.00 pm except Sunday. Novena envelopes available at the exit doors can be placed in the box at the altar rails.
Plenary Indulgence
A Plenary Indulgence for the souls of the departed may be gained by visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead once per day from Nov 1st to 8th, by all who confess their sins during the week before or after All Souls’ Day, receive Holy Communion between the 1st and 8th November and pray for the Pope’s intentions.
