Michael Togher (Requiem Mass: 31st July, 11am at St Thomas More, Caistor)
Patrick Brennan (Requiem Mass: 1st August, 2:30pm at Holy Rood, Market Rasen)
We have had three deaths in the parish in the last weeks, please do pray for the souls of the deceased and for comfort for their families.
May they rest in peace.
Schoolroom Keys: Thank you for all who have offered to help with Coffee after Mass. Rather than giving everyone a set of keys we are changing the system to a key safe box with a code that can be given out as needed. Could all those who have current keys to the school house return them to Church (or post them through the Presbytery door) as soon as possible please. Thank You.
The Reader and Flower rotas have now moved to the Rotas page on this website.
Parish E-Mailing List: We have set up a new parish E-mail list which allows those who join to be kept up-to date with information in the parish via E-mail. It is a versatile tool and will allow (in time) various groups within the parish to have their own sections. If you would like to join, please just send an E-mail with “Parish List” in the subject line to holyroodchurchmr@outlook.com (You can leave at any time).
Rosary: The Rosary is said before the 10am Mass at Holy Rood on Tuesdays, all are welcome to join in.
Mass Intentions: If you want to have a Mass offered for a particular intention, we will soon have “Mass intention Envelopes” at the back of each Church. However, until they arrive just ask Fr David if you want a Mass said. The Diocese recommends a donation of £10 for a Mass intention.
Holy Rood Church open Holy Rood is open most days from 8:00am to 7pm so that people can pop in and pray. Please do avail yourself of the opportunity to be with our Lord.
Food BankTinned & dried goods are always needed to help those families who are struggling at this time of year. If you would like any further information please have a chat with Pauline.
What‘s happening out and about?
Becoming a Catholic? If you are interested in becoming a Catholic (or know someone who is) or want to find out more about the Catholic faith, we are hoping to start a new course in September for adults. Please either speak to Fr David after Mass, or E-mail him at holyroodchurchmr@outlook.com
