Twenty Ninth Sunday Year A

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

This weekend we celebrate Word Mission Sunday, a reminder to us all that when the Lord said, “Go out and spread the good news with your lives,” he meant that the word of God should be proclaimed throughout the world. Today we look outwards from our own worlds to the world at large, praying for all followers of Christ. Funds are also collected at the end of Mass for the support of Christians suffering and under persecution throughout!

Please note that next weekend is an exchange of pupils. I have been invited over to St Wulstan’s parish to preach there on vocations. In return Father John Waters is coming here to reciprocate. Please make him welcome and to feel at home.

Next weekend is also the start of half-term so if you are going away then travel safely. Enjoy a rest if possible and return refreshed. On the weekend return we celebrate All Saints and All Souls, a time to remember our loved ones, bring their name to the altar and have Masses said for the repose of their eternal souls. Envelopes will be available at the back of church next week for names of the deceased to be prayed for and for the booking of Mass intentions.
