Remembering Our Loved Ones in November:
During the month of November, we all remember and pray for all our departed loved ones. At St George’s you are invited to write the names of your family members and friends who have died on the heart-shaped cards in the basket at the altar. These names will be added to our Prayer Board as we hold them in love and prayer throughout the month.

Fr Rory writes:
As our hub meetings continue to unfold, the future ministry should be beginning to emerge. Our meeting at Our Lady of Ransom Church has taken place and an important focus was placed upon the parish mission prayer, with the emphasis upon the power of prayer for a successful outcome to the plan.
Parish Mission Prayer
Loving God,
empower us through our Baptism,
to live as vibrant and welcoming communities,
centred on the Holy Eucharist.
Inflame us
with your Holy Spirit,
to encourage others to a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ.
Recognising all things as your gift to us,
to be treasured and shared with love,
give us a heart for the poor,
a passion for justice,
a concern for creation,
so that all may live with peace and dignity.
Our Lady and All the Saints Pray for us
Amen
