Mission - the Good News
• On Mission Sunday, we recall that Jesus commanded us to "Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News".
• The Good News is that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loves us so much, that he suffered and died for the forgiveness of our sins.
• That he rose from the dead, and promised that we would also be raised from death to eternal life with him and his Father in heaven.
• His final wish was that "in His name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations".

Bank Holiday Masses:
Monday 25th, is a Bank Holiday and there will be one Mass only at 11.00am.
Funeral Pall:
It is our intention to commence the use of the Pall at all funerals in the near future. The Pall is a large white cloth which covers the coffin entirely. It is placed on the coffin as it is received at the Church door, and is removed at the door of the Church after the final prayers of the Funeral Mass. The Pall is meant to symbolise firstly, the dignity of the deceased person as a child of God, and secondly, that in God' eyes we are all equal in death. It means that no flags or emblems are displayed on the coffin during the period of prayer within the Church. Relatives or organisations are welcome to place these emblems on the coffin on its way to the Church, and, again, as it leaves the Church. Should a family prefer that the Pall not be placed on the coffin, they can make their wishes known to the priest receiving the remains.
