Thank you to all the children who came dressed as Saints last week and took part in the procession and to the school choir who came to sing. Our saintly children certainly helped us celebrate the great Feast of All Saints with joy.
Thank you to St Mary's school staff for all their support and preparation.
Our Parish Facebook page reached 3,500 views for the All Saints day post!

Refreshments in the Social Centre after each Mass


               
To celebrate this great feast, children are invited to come to Mass dressed as a Saint! Around this time the remnants of the Christian celebration have degenerated into “Trick or Treat” with a focus on children dressing up as ghouls and ghosts, whilst people decorate their homes with fake cobwebs and witches. All rather ridiculous and certainly no longer much to do with our Christian festivals. Focusing on the saints is a bit of an antidote to this. 
Children, please gather in the Social Centre before teh 10.30am Mass.

The children will join us in the procession to bless the cemetery at the end of Mass and then join everyone in the Social Centre, where each child that has taken part will receive one of St Catherine’s Miraculous Medals.

Members of St Mary's School Choir will be joining us to serve the liturgy and our parish community as they assist with the singing at Mass.
