tWenty-seVenth sunday in ordinary tiMe (Year B) 3/4 OCTOBER 2015 Entrance Antiphon Within your will, O Lord, all things are established, and there is none that can resist your will. For you have made all things, the heaven and the earth, and all that is held within the circle of heaven; you are the Lord of all. Lynda Ellmers We are very sorry to announce the death of Lynda, parish secretary for many years. She died peacefully in the Pilgrims’ Hospice Margate on Friday 2 October. Our sincere condolences to her brother Chris and all the family who have been so faithful in visiting her especially since she became ill two years ago. Lynda was a dear friend to many in the parish too and she would certainly want her gratitude to be expressed for all the love, friendship and support she has received. May her good soul rest in peace. Fr Luke Magee CP We heard on 29 September of the death of Fr Luke Magee CP, a long-time rector of Minsteracres, a man who welcomed our parish holiday-retreat group for many years. His funeral will take place on 9 October and Frs Mark and Patrick will be present. CAFOD Harvest Fast Day At all Masses this weekend there will be a short talk about this autumn’s CAFOD appeal. It would be much appreciated if you could make your donation this weekend, but it will also be possible to return the envelopes next weekend. Please also make sure that you take and read the materials that go alongside the appeal and pray for the work of CAFOD and its partners.
