My Dear Friends,
Our 10 am Mass this weekend is a celebration of the harvest. It is our opportunity to give thanks to Almighty God for his many gifts to us. In the light of His generosity we ask: How can I help to relieve the sufferings of those who have little?
An obvious answer is, of course, CAFOD. By giving to this well-known Catholic agency we are assured that our giving is well used. There will be a retiring collection for CAFOD after all Masses this weekend.
Finally, as in previous years I am running a series of talks for any adults interested in becoming a Catholic or who have not been Confirmed, and wish they had been. These sessions will also be for those who were received earlier this year. Please let me have your name and address as soon as possible, so that a suitable time can be sorted out which will be convenient for all.
God Bless.
