SPIRITUAL BOUQUET:

This leads me to apologise for not drawing your attention to the fact that Archbishop John, as well as suggesting a material collection for Archbishop Malcolm (thank you for your contributions to this last Sunday), more importantly requested that we gather a spiritual bouquet for him (e.g. the Holy Mass, rosaries, holy hours of adoration, times of prayer in school).

We can redeem the situation by gathering our promised prayers and presenting him with them when he comes to Confirm seven of our young people on the evening of the Feast of St Gerard Majella at 7.00pm on 16 October.

Please send any such prayer offerings to the parish office by Monday 13 October. Thank you.
