THANKS -­‐ Many Thanks for kind wishes and gree3ngs on my birthday. THIS WEEK we pray for the souls of two Priests who have died, Fr Mar3n Brogan and Fr Kevin Griffin. Please pray for the and for their families; indeed pray for all us Priests and for those in training -­‐ the Harvest is great, there’s lots to do – but the Labourers are few. We pray in thanks too for all those who share in the work of the priesthood -­‐ especially in this parish, our catechists, ministers of the Eucharist, readers, parish visitors, cleaners and those who help with finances, by coun3ng etc. Please consider joining one of our teams. Especially we need 1 new team to count aNer mass on Sunday (once every 6 weeks or so) and 1 team to take on the weekly ‘bank run’ -­‐ perhaps Tuesday is a beTer day than Monday for this. Also, you do not need to ‘run’ -­‐ walk or drive is equally welcome! THANKS. Fr Bernard Wilson JOURNEY IN FAITH Next mee3ng 11th November at 7.00pm.
