MASSES FOR OUR DECEASED FRIENDS AND RELATIVES IN NOVEMBER
During the month of November, we remember those who have died in a special way. We support them with our prayers and Masses, that the Lord will bring them quickly into the fullness of his presence.
There are envelopes available at the back of the church for Masses for our deceased loved ones. Please fill in the names of those you would like to pray for on paper and enclose it in the envelope with any offering you would like to make. Please then post your envelope through the presbytery door. A basket with the envelopes will be placed by the altar at Masses from 2 November for the whole month.
