As we enter into the month of November there is a new ‘Rosary Circle Chart’ on the noticeboard, to encourage us all to pray for vocations to the Priesthood. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of November, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time.
At the 10.00 am Sunday Mass The remaining dates are: November 2nd and 16th . and also, please note that it will be held every week during the Advent Season: November 30th, December 7th, 14th, and 21st . Let’s keep growing together in faith and friendship! "
Mass and Meet Lunch - on Friday 5 December after midday Mass. Homemade foods and salad, fresh baked bread and cheese followed by cake and coffee/tea. All are welcome!
Again, an informal opportunity for those interested in cars and transport to meet, share experiences and perhaps teach and learn something in the university of life. At the moment this is a work in progress, but we hope to give further information soon. Many thanks.
GETTINNG MARRIED:- A reminder that if you are planning to marry in the Church and live within the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, Bishop Richard requires that you give twelve months notice to your Parish Priest. (The Diocese includes the whole of Sussex and Surrey outside the London boroughs.) During that time, the Parish Priest will outline the particular requirements in regard to a marriage preparation programme.This means that at the present time, the earliest a wedding could take place will be the end of June 2026, however, given that most reception venues require 18 months notice, 12 months notice to the parish should come as no surprise.
ROSARY CIRCLE FOR PRIESTLY VOCATIONS:- There is a new ‘Rosary Circle Chart’ to encourage us all to pray for vocations to the Priesthood. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of August, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time. Thank you.
