Parish Bereavement Mass: 11am on Saturday 7th November

Throughout November, we pray for the Holy Souls: ‘eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them, may they rest in peace. Amen.’ There is still plenty of time to return your Holy Souls envelopes containing your list of names and donation. For every £10 offered in the envelope or on the card reader, a Mass for the Holy Souls is celebrated, either by Fr. Simon or by priest elsewhere who may need Masses to say as part of his annual income.

We should also pray for ourselves and one another still on pilgrimage and to that end there is a special Bereavement Mass at 11am on Saturday 7th November, so that we can support one another in our grief. This Mass is especially recommended for all those who have lost a loved one in the past 12 months but is, of course, open to all as our grief has no end point.

This afternoon: Blessing of Graves (West Street) – 2pm on Sunday 1st November. Fr. Simon will walk through West Street Cemetery. As he does so, you can call him over to impart a short blessing on a grave of a family member, asking God’s Holy Angel to watch over and protect it.

Our Remembrance continues:
• Mass for All Souls Day – 11am on Monday 2nd November and at 1pm in All Hallows School Chapel for the Staff and Students
• Blessing of Graves (Green Lane) – 2pm on Sunday 8th November.
• Requiem Mass for those fallen in war – at 11.15am Mass on Remembrance Sunday (8th November).
• Requiem Mass for the Deceased Clergy & Religious of the Communities of Farnham, Heath End and Ash will be at 11am on Tuesday 24th November in St Joan’s Church.

Advance Warning: On Saturday 14th November there is no 5pm Mass, as Fr. Simon is not available due to other pastoral commitments within the wider ‘Guildford Catholic Parish’ that week. The 9.15am, 11.15am and 5pm Mass on Sunday 15th Nov. will be celebrated as normal. Saturday Masses: 5.30pm at Holy Angels (Ash); 5.30pm at St Mary’s (Aldershot); 6pm at St Anselm’s (Hindhead); 6pm at St Edmund’s (Godalming); 6pm Sacred Heart (Bordon). Please check their websites for any alterations to their schedules.
