We have available spaces for Mass intentions in the coming weeks. Offering a Mass for a loved one, whether living or deceased, is a profound act of love and faith. Please contact the parish office to reserve a date. Let us continue to pray for one another through the powerful gift of the Eucharist. White Mass Intention Envelopes are available at both entrances. TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY Today, parishes worldwide celebrate World Mission Sunday. By supporting Missio - the Pope's charity for world mission - we stand united as God's global family, in prayer, solidarity and action. We are called to be 'Missionaries Of Hope Among All Peoples' as everyone deserves to hear that God loves them and to be strengthened by God's Spirit. Please pray for missionaries an give what you can to this vital collection, bringing God's compassion, peace and justice to those in need. To donate, use the Missio envelope, call 020 7821 9755 (office hours) or visit missio.org.uk  to give a gift, set up a Direct Debit and Gift Aid your donation if possible. ALTAR SERVERS We need Altar servers, to help with all our Sunday Masses. Age is no barrier, both young people and adults equally welcome. Adults will need to engage with Safeguarding requirements. All would be servers must complete training before being admitted to the serving team. Please help if you can in this very important and vital ministry in our parish. Any former server who wishes to re-join the group will be equally welcomed. NOVEMBER LIST OF THE DEAD Praying for the dead is a long-standing Christian tradition deeply rooted in Scripture. Especially in November, we take time to remember each deceased person by name, bringing them before the Lord's mercy. It is important that we make the effort  every year to recall their names in prayer  and offer Masses for their souls. This year, Holy Souls envelopes will be available, and we encourage you to write the names of your deceased loved ones, friends, and parishioners for whom you wish us to pray in November. There will be a special basket in front of the Altar where these names will be placed. Any donations in the envelopes will go toward offering Holy Souls Masses  throughout the year, whether in our parish or in parishes with fewer Mass intentions. In this way, we not only remember their names before the Lord but also assist them on their journey to eternal life.
