Theme of today’s Mass: “Jesus in our midst”: To him the whole world is like a grain of dust that tips the scales or the morning dew that falls. Yet he loves all that exists and he comes to dwell with sinners.
Sick List: Please pray for the following members of our parish: Beryl Ford, Bernard Moyers, Patrick Hodgson, Angela Doyle, Ida De Melo, Maurice Nixon, Eva Shirreffs, Stefania Stasior, Irene Pallot.
Finances: Collection: 27th October: £83.01. Candles: £2.00, Requiem donation: £150.00. Many thanks. (Cheques to be made payable to: St Gregory’s RC Church)
Grave Blessing: Today’s Grave Blessing will take place at Barrow Cemetery. If you would like Fr John to bless the grave of any of your dear departed, please join him at the entrance to the cemetery at 2.00pm and accompany him to the grave in question. Next Sunday’s Blessing will be at Sileby Cemetery.
Masses for the Dead: During November we remember the Holy Souls at every Mass. If you would like to include someone in the intentions of the Mass, please use one of the “Month of the Holy Souls” envelopes at the back of church. Simply write the name(s) on a slip of paper, place the slip in the envelope, seal the envelope and place it in the basket in front of the altar. Please do not put any money in these envelopes.
If you would like a Mass to be celebrated on a particular day, please use the Mass Intentions envelopes as usual, indicating when and where you would like the Mass to be said. Please be aware that there are always many requests for Masses at this time of the year and it may not always be possible to secure your preferred date unless you are prepared to “share” with someone else.
Remembrance Sunday: This will be celebrated next Sunday. Parishioners are invited to write the names of those who died in or as a result of war on a card (available at the back of church) and place this in the basket at the back of church before Mass. Additional details may be added if you so wish. The basket will be brought up to the altar at the Offertory.
Prayer and Devotion Together:
“For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”(Matthew 18:20)
This week in church:
Monday 4th November at 3.00pm: “Divine Mercy”
Wednesday 6th November at 10.30am: “Sacred Heart”
Saturday 9th November at 10.30am: “Holy Rosary”
Sunday 10th November at 3.00pm: “Divine Mercy”
A full diary of devotions for November is posted at the back of church. If you would like to consider hosting one of these devotions at home (as someone already has), please have a word with David Cafferky.
Christmas Fayre & Raffle:  The fayre will be held on Saturday 30th November, which is four weeksaway. Please bring in your raffle ticket money as soon as possible. Please continue bringing in items for sale. Stalls will include books and plants, bottles, children’s bran tub, toys, fancy goods, children’s chocolate tombola, Christmas gifts, tombola stall and of course our favourite cake stall. There will also be a Santa’s Grotto. If you feel able, please consider offering a raffle prize or a contribution to the Hamper prize. Details at the back of church.
Over 65s Christmas Lunch: This will take place on Sunday 8th December at Beedles Lake Golf Club. Please see details at the back of church.
Daisy’s Namibia Trip: The text of Daisy’s talk at last Sunday’s Mass and some of her photos can be found on the parish website.
Shoebox Appeal: The completed shoeboxes need to be returned to Michelle no later than the 16th November.
Faith in Families: Christmas Appeal: details on poster at the back of church and on the parish website. See Roberta for further information.
