My Dear Friends,
October is the month of the Holy Rosary and what better way is there for us to associate ourselves with the mission of the Church than to pray the Rosary each day during this month? The Holy Rosary is offered after every weekday Mass - why not stay on and join in?
This is also a very busy time of the year for school forms, especially for transfer into the secondary sector. It is of the greatest importance that I meet with parents who have such forms to sign, so that I know exactly whom I am signing for! Please do not hand them to me after Mass, either come to the presbytery this afternoon from 2 - 4 pm or ring me so that we can sort out an alternative time to meet. Thank you.
As I have done in previous years, I am hoping to start a series of talks for those who are either considering becoming Catholics or those adults who failed to make their Confirmation when they were growing up. The first of these talks will be on Sunday Oct. 23rd at 3 pm.
Friday of this week is the Autumn Family Fast Day, be sure to take an envelope with you after Mass today.
God Bless.
