Annual Mass of Remembrance
Our Annual Mass for all our departed relatives and friends will take place on
Thursday 13th November at 7.30pm
At this Mass the names of those from our parish community who died in the past 12 months will be especially remembered.
The names of all those on the November list of the dead will automatically be included.

St Faustina made this request of Jesus on the day of her perpetual vows.
“Jesus, I plead with You for the souls that are most in need of prayer. I plead for the dying; be merciful to them. I also beg You, Jesus, to free all souls from Purgatory”
We can help in a special way the souls in Purgatory by obtaining for them a Plenary Indulgence, one each day from the 1st to 8th November, by visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead, our deceased relatives and friends and souls who have no one to pray for them.
The prayer “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen” gains a partial indulgence and can be prayed all year even while passing a cemetery.
The conditions for gaining a Plenary Indulgence are:
Go to Confession within 20 days.
Receive Holy Communion
Pray for the Pope’s intentions: one Our Father and one Hail Mary are sufficient.
Detachment from sin: There must be no sin a soul is unwilling to renounce.
