One of the greatest signs of love is remembrance. We set time aside during November to remember and pray for our brothers and sisters who have died. We pray that they have passed from death to life in the company of the Risen Christ, the firstborn from the dead, whose love has overcome all things.

Our Mass of Remembrance will take place at 6pm on Saturday 21st November. Tea will be served in the Parish Centre after the Mass. Families who have been bereaved during the last year and the funeral took place in our parish will be personally invited to attend. All will be welcome to participate in our Ceremony of Light and to light a candle in remembrance of deceased loved ones.

Masses are offered throughout the year for those whose names are inscribed on the Altar List of the Dead. Envelopes are at the church entrances and may be left in the sacristy or the box near Our Lady’s Altar.

“It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead”

O Lord, we praise and thank you for the gift of our loved ones who have died and whom we remember during this month of November.
We thank you, compassionate God, for walking with us in all the dark moments of our grief and loneliness. Even when we find it hard to see you, we know and trust that you walk beside us and, in the Resurrection of Christ, Your Son, the victory of love in Jesus Our Lord, you give us a reason for living, a reason for hoping.
Lord, continue to be a light for us, giving us direction and courage in this difficult time. Help us to bring light and hope to others. Amen.
