November
Pious Lists
A box is provided this week for your Pious List envelopes. The lists
will then be collected together and masses said for those named. An
offering can be placed in the envelope.
BONFIRE
NIGHT
Sadly, the Health and Safety issues, plus the need for insurance, has
made bonfires and firework displays a matter for professional Pyrotechnical
Display Companies. The site of our bonfire and fairly loose safety arrangements
means that an accident is likely at some stage, and so it is with regret
that from this year, I will not now be building and lighting bonfires,
or setting off fireworks in a public way.
Support
Welcomed
A great deal of sympathy and suggestions have been offered this week
with regard to our recent spate of burglaries in the Parish House. Fr
Ron particularly liked the ³Break-In² biscuits which were left for us
(not by the burglars . . ) on the Dining Room table; the consuming of
which has cheered him up no end!! So thanks for all the advice and offers
of help we have received.
