REMEMBERANCE SUNDAY
ST MARGARET’S SUPPER Friday 15th November
FEAST DAY OF ST MARGARET OF SCOTLAND Mass will be celebrated at 7pm before the Supper (at 7.45pm for 8pm) This is the opportunity for our parish family to celebrate once again the Feast Day of Saint Margaret of Scotland by having a meal together, as have been doing since the present church was built in 1981. (The par-ish was established in 1934. See parish website for history). All are welcome and especially newcomers to the parish. There is atwo course meal, with a vegetarian option and bring your own wine, etc. Please sign on the list in the Meeting Area as soon as possible Tickets are available this weekend (9th & 10th November): £12 for adults and £6 for children under 13 years, £25 for a family ticket. We are looking for several parishioners who will prepare and bring a casserole of their choice to feed around six people (there will be a separate list for this). You will be reimbursed for the cost. Of-fers for desserts, raffle prizes or other help would also be greatly appre-ciated.
NEW PILGRIM PATH (www.newpilgrimpath.ie) is inspired by Pope Francis’s enthusiasm for the internet. He urges Christian to “walk the streets of the digital highways in order to dialogue with people today and to help them encounter Christ”. Each week they feature a website which may be of interest to fellow Christians. When you lose someone you love, Your life becomes strange, The ground beneath you gets fragile, Your thoughts make your eyes unsure; And some dead echo drags your voice down Where words have no confidence. Your heart has grown heavy with loss; And though this loss has wounded others too, No one knows what has been taken from you When the silence of absence deepens. These are the opening lines of John O'Donohue's haunting poem, "For Grief". November is the month of remembrance for the dead. A short, guided reflection on this poem is presented by the superb Jesuit web-site, Pray As You Go.
