November is the month of the Holy Souls when we remember our loved ones who have gone before us. Your envelopes with  lists of the dead & contributions to the Mases will be placed on the altar throughout November as we remember them and pray for them. Would you be kind enough to put on your lists those who have no one left here to pray for them. Thank you.

Another Appeal

Our ride-on lawnmower is coming to the end of its useful working life-not Kevin the person who operates it. Therefore, we are asking if any parishioner knows of where to obtain an ex-display or very little used one to replace it with. We have made some progress on this.  More details to follow as they become available.
