thirtieth sunday in ordinary tiMe (Year B) 24/25 OCTOBER 2015 Entrance Antiphon Let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice; turn to the Lord and his strength; constantly seek his face. Parish Mission - February 2016 Today we welcome Karen Surety of the Sion Community who will be speaking to us about the Parish Mission which we will be having next February. Karen would be delighted to see as many of us as possible at a meeting in ther Retreat Hall on Sunday afternoon at 4.00 pm to see what we can do to help prepare for the Mission. Let’s Talk The “Let’s Talk” session last Monday on the Church’s stance on divorce proved to be a most interesting and valuable occasion for the twenty plus parshioners who were present. It raised particular questions about marriage support, marriage breakdown and how we can best respond. Sounds like another session could be very valuable – watch this space. Parish Christmas Bazaar The Christmas Bazaar will be held on Saturday 5 December in the Retreat Hall starting at 11am. Helpers are urgently required to run the stalls and donations of fancy goods, toys, tins of food, bottles of drink and books will be gratefully received. Anyone who can help in these areas please see Sister Corinne or any member of the PPC.
