28th Sunday 9th October 2011
Parish update
• Month of October: This month is dedicated to the holy rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. October includes the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). The best way to celebrate the month is, of course, to pray the rosary.
• Confirmation: We have been told by the bishop that Confirmation will take place on Saturday 12th May 2012 at 12:00 noon. This is earlier than in previous years. Application forms and a detailed programme will be ready by late October, but we can already tell you that parent/candidate interviews will take place on Saturday 26th November and there will be a parents evening on Monday 12th December. The preparation program will start on Monday 9th January.
• First Holy Communion: Now we have been given the Confirmation date, we can set the 1st Holy Communion dates, which will be announced soon. Application forms and programme details will be ready by late October.
• Notice to all Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. There will be a meeting for all extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, including spiritual formation, on Saturday 19th November at 2:00-3:30pm. These ministers will then be re-commissioned at their ‘normal’ Masses the following day (Sunday 20th Nov) – the feast of Christ the King. Please put these dates in your diaries now.
• Notice to all Readers. There will be a meeting for all readers, including spiritual formation on Saturday 3rd December at 2:00-3:30pm. These readers will be re-commissioned at their ‘normal’ Masses the following day (Sunday 4th Dec), the second Sunday of Advent, also called ‘Bible Sunday’. Please put these dates in your diaries now.
• Office furniture & Samsung TV: please contact clergy house if you are interested in these items.
