Month of the Holy Souls
Gone before us, marked with a sign of faith.
While growing up in Ireland, I sometimes heard it said “the family that prays together and plays together, stay together”. Recently we have been blessed by good experiences with the holy memorial and beautiful requiem mass service for Sheila Jury, and followed by a quiz night with memorable moments. The team that won the prize for best name, brought some special excitement by the way they participated in the evening – credit where credit is due.
There is a very special occasion to look forward to on Friday 12th December in Hailsham; Comedy and Carols. This event deserves a lot of attention and communication, but above all, personal invitations. So often we are so dependant upon a few doing so much. Hopefully another event could be ever so enjoyable and rewarding, an occasion of remembrance with music and fellowship, remembering the many treasured members of our community who have died. Bill O’Rourke stands out, as I remember an occasion that he lead, and it was a very memorable evening, with music and dance.
This year is coming to a close, believe it or not, and best foot forward for the coming year. Let us continue working together, with just a bit more hope and good reason to be confident that the work that is taking place is the best way to go, and with the help of God, more persons working together will bear fruit.
Fruit that will last.
