Sign No 3. If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY.

Thank you to all those who prepared the church and hall for our Memorial Service last weekend and the Rosary Group who provided prayers incorporated into the Mass. It was disappointing that more people did not attend and missed out on a beautiful Mass and a lovely social gathering afterwards. Please, do try to support these events if you possibly can.

A special thank you to Lesley Crowe from St Wilfrid’s who came to our rescue when several of us were struck down with Covid and needed help getting the order of service together in time. It was so appreciated Lesley and demonstrates how well we can work together as one parish.

Mother Teresa taught her young charges to love and respect for one another.

The first session in Rome has ended. A summary of proposals can be found at https://www.synod.va/en/news/a-synodal-church-in-mission.html

A big thank you to Joan and Annette for giving us such a wonderful monthly tea for the over 50’s.   So much work goes into making this event so enjoyable for us all.

Thank you to all who continue to support the last Sunday Charity breakfast at St George’s.  The October breakfast along with 50% of the months table sale has raised £124 for CAFOD.  Special thanks to Teresa’s friend Richard who offered to fill the role of chef and  enjoyed it so much he has volunteers to continue which is great. Him and his brother were also most welcomed at clear up doing some of the heavy work putting away all the tables.

When the idea of the breakfast developed over a year ago, it was always hoped it would be a full community event, not just for our Catholic parishioners.  We want to open our doors to all and so far it is proving to be just that.  If anyone has friends or family that may wish to attend future breakfasts do invite them along, it is open to all and a great way to socialise together and meet new   people on a Sunday morning.  The next breakfast will be held on Sunday November 26th at 10am in aid of Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
