SUNDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2021
 THIRTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
This Sunday we remember in prayer all those who have laid down their lives in War,
especially the two World Wars of the last century, and the conflicts within living
memory. We give thanks to God for the sacrifice men and women have made to
defend and secure the freedoms we cherish, and we pray for all victims of war:
civilians, children, and peoples displaced by conflict and violence. In acknowledging
the sacrifice of those who died, let us also pray for the gift of peace, that one day war
will be no more.

                                                                   Father Edmund

SVP Collection
Thank you all to who gave so generously to the collection which took place at St
Saviours and St Marys last weekend. £623.84 was given to support the important
work of our SVP.

Lil McDonald RIP
Family and friends of Lil McDonald are gathering at the vigil Mass at Our Lady Star of
the Sea on Saturday 20 November to remember her in prayer in a special way. Lil, like
many people who died during the pandemic when it was at its height, was unable to
have the funeral Mass that the family would have wanted. I was very happy to work
with the family to make sure that Lil could be remembered in this way at a weekend
Mass, knowing how faithful she has been to St Bernard’s over many years. Please say
a prayer for the family.

RCIA/Faith Sharing and Film Evening
We continue our faith sharing/film evenings at St Mary of the Angels, this Monday
