Our annual mass for recently deceased parishioners / bereaved parishioners took place last Saturday night 5th Nov. It was a warm, memorable and meaningful occasion. All who participated left for home feeling greatly comforted and strengthened. It was a striking example of what good liturgy is, everybody played a part and the time flew. There was no question of anyone feeling “bored” or left out. If we could transfer some of that spirit to our regular Sunday masses the way in which many people attend mass would change dramatically and nobody would want to miss out. A sincere thank you to the Bereavement Team and helpers who did all the organising, stewarding and catering. When the flower bulbs which were provided for planting in memory our deceased love ones grow up and flower in spring, may our hearts rise with them.
