Reflection
If only the heart was right we could give so much more. Lord, open our hearts when they are closed. Soften them when they are hard. Warm them when they are cold. Brighten them when they are dark. Fill them when they are empty. Calm them when they are troubled. Cleanse them when they are sullied. Heal them when they are wounded. And mend them when they are broken so that we, your disciples, may bear the fruits of love. Amen.
Memorial Mass
Our annual Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday 16th November at 11am. This is when we invite the families of those who have died in the last year to come and remember them and pray for them during this special Mass. Everyone in the Parish is welcome to join us and pray for their own deceased family members.
Raffle
A raffle will be held over the next two weekends to raise funds for the Parish.
November Dead List
Available next weekend will be forms for listing your dead family and friends to be remembered during the month of November. Like last year, there are no envelopes because we would ask you not to put money with the lists. We will say one Mass each week in November for the Holy Souls, but we are unable to say any more. We have too many masses already.
Funeral
The funeral Service for Margie McQueen will take place here in St James’ on Friday 8th November at 11.45am.
Please remember Margie and her family in your prayers.
