PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY FOR THE PREPARATION OF MASS Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come to us and renew us as we gather to celebrate this Sunday Mass.
As we continue our pilgrimage of life, help us to become better Christians on earth so that we may rejoice with you for ever in Heaven.
To the Holy Trinity be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
CAFOD UPDATE - As we move towards the end of the ecclesiastical year, I thought it
is a good time on behalf of CAFOD for both of us to say a huge thank you to all pa-
rishioners for the continued support shown during the last 12 months.
You have contributed;
a) Lent Fast - £ 1061.94 b) Harvest Fast - £ 1186.80 c) Lent Soup Lunches - £640
d) Pyramid Boxes - £ 90 e) X’mas cards - £ 20 f) Independent Donations £ 43
Total raised from parish to CAFOD from 01/11/17 to 31/10/18 is £ 3041.74. Govern-
ment matched the contributions up to May. So our contributions were worth over
£5000. Well done!
Whether you have contributed with an appeal presentation, made or helped serve deli-
cious Friday Soup or maybe dug deeper into your pockets than ever before, rest assured
that you have made a large impact towards CAFOD'S work in ensuring the welfare, de-
velopment and well-being of the poor and deprived communities of this, our world.
Thank you all once again.
~ Bob Wright & Sandra Lenagan
Fr Prem’s Message: As we head towards the end of yet another Liturgical Year, could I say a big thank you for all your support and prayers making the parish liturgy and life inspiring. I am sure what-ever you did; participating, serving or leading you did it all for the glory of God, diligently, to the best you could, but without negligence or doing for a wrong intention. Surely it will be pleasing to the Lord. Last week was a bit of a hectic week with the hosting of the deanery clergy meeting and lunch at Woodstock. Could I say a big thank you to all those who laboured to make the parish proud and indeed I know you wanted me to feel good above all. As you gathered, I was over the moon!! Thank you! On the same tone may I also say thank you to all those who organised parish fund raising events, including last week’s quiz evening and charitable efforts; you see below our contributions to CAFOD alone amongst many others. I am sure you would continue to do so. Could I express my appreciation!
