St Margaret’s Parish Bulletin

O Queen of the Holy Rosary Hymn
O Queen of the Holy Rosary,
O bless us as we pray,
And offer thee our roses
In garlands day by day,
While from our Father's garden,
With loving hearts and bold,
We gather to thine honor
Buds white and red and gold.

O Queen of the Holy Rosary,
Each myst'ry blends with thine
The sacred life of Jesus
In ev'ry step divine,
Thy soul was His fair garden,
Thy virgin breast His throne,
Thy thoughts His faithful mirror,
Reflecting Him alone.

Mission Sunday Appeal
This weekend our parish will be holding the annual Mission Matters Scotland
Mission Sunday Appeal. After decades of struggling in a communist ruled country, with no religious freedom, it is only recently that the people of Mongolia have
had the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today we invite you
to reach out and help the people of Mongolia to build their Church, so that more
people can come to know the grace, joy, peace and hope of our loving God. By
supporting the Catholic Mission World Mission Appeal today or by becoming a
‘Friends in Faith Partner’ with a monthly gift, you will help build the Kingdom of
God in Mongolia and throughout the world.

November - Month of the Holy Souls
The month of November is traditionally a time for us to remember the faithful
departed. ‘November Lists’ are available at the back of the Church. Write the
names of your deceased parents, relatives, friends and all for whom you wish to
pray on the List and place in the envelope. Holy Mass will be offered for them
during the month of November. Completed Lists can be placed in the box at the
back of the Church and the Lists will be placed in front of the Altar during the
month of November.
On Sunday, 2nd November, there will be our annual service at St Joseph’s
Cemetery, Rochsouls. The service will begin at 2pm. Wrap up well!
