Church notices for St. Simon Stock Catholic Church Ashford
The national Catholic day of prayer and action for prisoners and their families. Next Sunday’s second collection is for PACT the national Catholic prison charity who support prisoners, people with convictions, and their families. Find out more at https://www.prisonadvice.org.uk/
If you would like us to include the faithful departed of your family or friends who have died since last All Souls day in this year’s Book of Remembrance please write the name and date of death, in block capitals, on a piece of paper and hand in to Fr. Jose or Thereza, or send in an email to the parish office (email address above).
Names must be received before noon on Thursday 29th October. Their names will be read out at the All Souls Day Mass on Monday 2nd November.
The red printed envelopes are now available on the newsletter table for you to put in the names of deceased relatives and friends whom you would like to be remembered during November. If you would like a Mass said during November please place your Mass offering in the envelope so that a Mass may be offered either for those whose names you have submitted or for Holy Souls in general. The names will be placed in a basket in front of the altar during November.
Next Sunday is Rosary Sunday and we celebrate the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary next Wednesday, a feast to remember many victories and advantages gained by the church in time of fierce persecutions in the 15th Century, through praying the rosary. Let us try to make time in our busy lives to pray the rosary daily.
For the whole month of October there will be recitation of the rosary immediately after each Mass. In praying the rosary may it bring us closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation.
