30th Sunday in Ordinary Time A - November Remembrance

Offering Mass for the Faithful Departed and / or for the Intentions of the Living: Throughout the year, parishioners can use the ‘white Mass offering envelopes’ to request specific Masses for the ‘repose of the soul’ of a loved one or for the ‘intentions’ of the living.

Holy Souls Masses: Throughout November, you can also make a general offering for the Holy Souls by using the special ‘Holy Souls envelopes’ listing those from your family / friends who have died. These lists are placed in the folder on the sanctuary and remembered in prayer as we offer Masses for the Holy Souls. Such offerings also support your priests. For every £10 offered in the envelope or on the card reader, a Mass for the Holy Souls is celebrated, either by Fr. Simon or by priest elsewhere who may need Masses to say as part of his annual income.

Last year, over sixty ‘Holy Souls Masses’ were sent down to Fr. Niven who was very grateful for the Mass stipends, as a supplement to his income. Hopefully this also provided a consolation to you that a priest you know well, was offering the Mass for the faithful departed.
