Well done and thank you to everyone involved in our school who have had the Diocesan Inspection this week. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.
OCTOBER
October is month of the Holy Rosary. You can join the rosary here every weekday at 9.30am, before 10am Mass. A plenary indulgence may be obtained, under the usual conditions, by reciting five decades of the Rosary in church, as a family at home, as a religious community or as a pious association, or in general whenever several persons have gathered for a good purpose; in every other circumstance, a partial indulgence may be gained.

Thank you to everyone who came to pray at the cemetery Mass and the prayer afterwards. This week we had the internal audit in the parish and I’m pleased to report it went very well. Can I take this opportunity to thank our parish office staff, all our collectors and counters, and the members of the parish finance committee. Your dedication, generosity and professionalism is a great gift to the parish. May God bless you all in the coming week.

Farewell and many thanks to Fr Jerome on this his last weekend with us. His final Mass here will be on Bank Holiday Monday at 10am. I know that we will miss him. He has been a great priest here and a very good housemate in the presbytery. Once he is settled into West Green with Fr Vincent, we will get him back for a special Mass of Thanksgiving. The new Fr Andrew (not to be confused with the ‘other’ Fr Andrew) will arrive here on Friday. We wish him well and I know you will make him feel welcome and at home. Once again, we are having some difficulties with the phones. At the time of writing, it seems you cannot leave voicemail. This may be fixed by the time you read this, but if not, then hopefully soon. I understand this is an inconvenience for both you and me!

This week we welcome back all our children, staff and helpers to the new school term and year. We hope the summer holidays have been both enjoyable and restful, and send you good wishes and blessings for the academic year ahead. Best wishes to everyone going off to college and university. We send special prayers with Ashley who will begin his time at Allen Hall Seminary on Friday. This coming Friday is also the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. May the Lord be with you all in the coming week.

It was lovely to get back to the parish last Monday, and especially to be back in time to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption last Tuesday. I hope you have all had a good summer thus far! Thank you to Fr Jerome, Fr Johnson and the new Fr Andrew for their work and ministries while I was away; and to the office staff. Please note carefully that the Parish Office will be closed this week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - please remember any business should be done on either Thursday or Friday. Fr Jerome’s last morning with us will be on Monday 28 August. Please pray for him as he prepares to move to West Green. God bless you all.
