THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY OF YEAR B
(World Day of the Poor)
18th November 2018
Notices:
-
MASSES IN NOVEMBER Unfortunately we have only been able to get cover for Sunday Masses while Fr Sabu
is away. We can, therefore, only schedule in two mass offerings each week during this period. This does mean that
there is likely to be quite a long wait for some of the Mass intentions that people have requested - at the moment
Sunday Masses are all allocated until the New Year. We do understand how disappointing this can be and appreciate
your patience.
-
DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER while Fr. Sabu and Deacon Kevin are away if you require a priest,
please contact either Abbot Hugh Allan O. Praem. or Fr Stephen Morrison O. Praem on 01245 352898. God bless Deacon
Kevin.
