POPE FRANCIS – In the Service of Peace
The Holy Father is calling us to pray during November for peace. Pope Francis’ prayer intention for November: “We all want peace. It is desired above all by those who suffer its absence. We can speak with splendid words, but if there is no peace in our heart, there will be no peace in the world. With zero violence and 100 percent tenderness, let us build the evangelical peace that excludes no one. Let us pray together that the language of love and dialogue may always prevail over the language of conflict.
MASS OF REMEMBRANCE: Our parish will celebrate a special 
Mass of Remembrance next Saturday 9th November at 11 o’clock. During this very special parish celebration we prayerfully remember all our deceased parishioners and all whose funerals were celebrated in St. Mary’s and St. Richard’s during the past twelve months. (November 2018 to October 2019). After the Mass light refreshments will be served in the lounge area of the parish centre.
We also devote the month of November to remembering all who have died. A box will be available at the back of St. Mary’s Church for you to place the names of your loved ones in. It will be brought up with the offertory gifts on Sundays, and all whose names are in it will be remembered throughout the month of November.
