Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time YEAR A 19th October 2014
Dear Parishioners,
‘Give the Lord glory and power. God alone is king and to him we must give the homage of our love
and obedience. All temporal power is subordinate to God’s rule over the universe. We must get our
priorities right- God first; all others only in relation to him. (Pope Saint John Sunday Missal.)
On this World Mission Sunday Pope Francis writes: ‘Dear brothers and sisters I invite you to immerse
yourself in the joy of the Gospel and nurture a love that can light up your vocation and your mission. ‘
Please pray for Clarissa Cameron Moore who is to be baptized in to the family of the Church this
Sunday. The next two baptismal preparation evenings will take place on Wednesday 12th th and
Wednesday 19th November at 8pm in the Presbytery. All are welcome
A Meeting has been arranged for the Parents of those Children who are not attending a Catholic
School and who wish to be prepared for their First Holy Communion. The Meeting will take place on
Tuesday 11th November at 7pm in the Presbytery. The actual preparation classes for the Children
themselves will take place on Tuesday afternoons from 4.30pm-5.45pm during term-time, beginning

A Meeting for those youngsters who are not in Year 6 at St Augustine’s and who wish to be prepared
for Confirmation, will take place on Thursday 23rd October at 7pm. The Parents of these children are
also welcome at the Meeting.
During the month of November we will offer a Novena of Masses for the Holy Souls. If you wish your
deceased family members and friends to be included in this Novena of Masses please write out their
names and place them in the envelopes provided in both porches, and return them to the Sacristy.

Holy Souls in Acocks Green at 12.00 midday. A Parish meeting will be held on Thursday 20 th

will start on Thursday 27th November at 7.30pm. There will be four talks for Advent based on the
Pope’s Exhortation ‘Evangelii Gaudium’ the Joy of the Gospel. Father Dominic writes: Our pilgrimage
to Santiago and Fatima was a most inspiring, happy and fruitful time. We remembered all of you and
your intentions in prayer and in our Masses. Special thanks to Father Frank and Father Andrew for
caring for you so well. Thank you for your very generous response to the Mission Appeal last week.
