Churches, parish communities, institutes of consecrated life, associations and movements are invited to pray for this intention during Mass and at other liturgical celebrations in the days leading to the synod and during the synod itself. In Rome, in the Basilica of St Mary Major, prayers will be recited each day in the chapel of the icon, Salus Populi Romani. The faithful, individually, but above all in all families, are invited to join in these prayers. In the Church porch there is a copy of The Prayer to the Holy Family for the Synod written by Pope Francis which we ask you to pray and the recitation of the Rosary is also recommended for the duration of the Synodal Assembly.. OCTOBER THE MONTH OF THE ROSARY October is traditionally the month of the Rosary. Here in our parish a group has been reciting the Rosary every Tuesday for the past 25 years. Prayers are offered up for the priesthood, diaconate and religious life, for peace and justice throughout the world and for the sick. It would be great if more parishioners would join the group after the 7pm Mass on Tuesdays or say a decade with your own family at home. MASS INTENTIONS When asking for Mass Intentions please specify whether or not the person has died by putting RIP or Anniversary Mass.

WEEKEND CAR PARKING May I remind you once again to take great care when parking at the weekend Masses. If you arrive late and find you are unable to park in the church car park and you have to park in either Dene Rise or Moorland Road, make sure you do not obstruct residents’ driveways. There is free car parking at this end of Corn Street from 6pm on Saturday to 8am Monday, up to the bus shelter on both sides. It is not too far for most people to walk. I would be very grateful for your cooperation in this matter. Many Thanks, Fr. Pat.
