World Mission Sunday

The theme for this year’s celebration of Mission Sunday is: “Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet” (Mt 22:9). reflecting the inclusive and urgent call to bring God’s love to everyone. Pope Francis speaks as follows:

‘Mission is a tireless going out to all men and women, in order to invite them to encounter God and enter into communion with him. Tireless! God, great in love and rich in mercy, constantly sets out to encounter all men and women, and to call them to the happiness of his kingdom, even in the face of their indifference or refusal…Let us not forget that every Christian is called to take part in this universal mission by offering his or her own witness to the Gospel in every context, so that the whole Church can continually go forth with her Lord and Master to the crossroads of today’s world…’

The Mission Sunday Collection will be taken up this weekend at all Masses as a second collection. 

Parish Dues

So far 91 dues envelopes have been returned for which we are most grateful. When I open an envelope my immediate reaction is to want to call to the house and thank you personally, but that is not possible unfortunately. Please accept this note of thanks instead. If you didn’t receive a dues envelope you will find them inside the doors of the church.

Altar Servers We are currently inviting children to join our altar servers’ team. Application forms available in the sacristy.

The Diocese have put a full programme together to try and recreate something of the experience that Lourdes offers here at home. The Relics will be displayed in the Cathedral of St Mary and St Anne (North Cathedral) on Wednesday October 30th from 4pm.
