Month of the Holy Souls. November.

17/10/2020

We will pray for those you knew and loved here on earth. Throughout the month Masses will be offered for the happy repose of their souls.
Please let us have a list of names of family and friends who you wish to be remembered. Their names and that of many others will rest in front of the Altar. Parishioners who have died this year will be added. A Holy Souls box will be provided on the steps of the Sanctuary for you to use. You can put in as many names as you wish. An offering, a stipend, would always be appreciated.

Penelope Brummel R.I.P.
Please keep in your prayers the soul of Penny as she journeys into God’s kingdom.
Her life and her witness to the Catholic faith were exemplary.
Penny’s funeral arrangements are being organised by her first cousin Myrtle.
May Penny Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory!

Maureen Debs R.I.P.
I only got to know Maureen recently. My visits to her family home bought her spiritual comfort and inner peace. Maureen was married to Saj for 53 years, blessed two sons, Paul and Robin. This weekend would have seen her celebrate her 74th Birthday. Life began in Ireland. Maureen was a member of a loving and large family. Her baptism took place in Co. Clare. She was bright, witty, kind and caring. A lady blessed with a loving husband and very proud of her two sons and her grandchildren.
Maureen’s passport to Heaven was stamped with the Last Rites and the Lord of Divine Mercy’s blessing.
May Maureen Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.

The Sleeping Saint Joseph

17/10/2020

We repeat the prayer to the SLEEPING SAINT JOSEPH and encourage you to seek his help and blessing. Don’t forget you can write out your petitions and place them under his statue. It is also possible, to send in by post, in a sealed envelope your special petitions or even by email. We will try once a month to honour with Holy Mass this faithful servant of Heaven.
This Sunday at our Masses we offer you the chance to make an Act of Consecration to Saint Joseph:
I ................ a child of God, take you, St. Joseph, to be my spiritual father. I am confident that Jesus and Mary have led me to you; to know you, to love you, and to be totally consecrated to you. Therefore, having come to know and love you, I consecrate myself entirely to you, St. Joseph. I want you in my life; I need you in my life. Take me as your spiritual child, O great St. Joseph! I desire to hold nothing back from your protective fatherhood.
As the husband of Mary, you provided for my spiritual mother. Thank you for always being faithful to her. Thank you for loving her and giving your entire life for her service.
As the virginal Father of Jesus, you cared for my Lord and protected Him from evil men. Thank you for guarding the life of my Saviour. Thanks to you, Jesus was able to shed his blood for me on the Cross. Thanks to you St. Joseph, I have hope of everlasting life in Heaven.
As my spiritual father, I know that you will guide and protect me too. Please instruct me in the ways of prayer, I know that you will guide and protect me, too. Please instruct me in the ways of prayer, virtue, and holiness. I want to be like you, St. Joseph. I want to be pure, humble, loving and merciful.
Now that I am yours and are mine, I promise never to forget you. I know that you will never forget me, and this gives me boundless joy! I am loved by St. Joseph! I belong to St. Joseph!
Praise to the Holy Trinity who has blessed you and raised you to be the greatest saint after Mary. Praise to the Virgin who loves you and wants souls to love you. Praise to you, St. Joseph, my father, my guardian, and my all! Amen!
