  |   |
ALL SAINTS & ALL SOULS: This year we have the blessing of these two Solemnities |   |
coming at a weekend, Saturday 01 & Sunday 02 November. This is a great opportunity |   |
for us to celebrate the life of All Saints' church. |   |
  |   |
Our PATRONAL FESTIVAL will be marked with a HIGH MASS on Saturday |   |
01 November at 12 noon. This will be followed by refreshments, please help by |   |
contributing to these, and then at 4pm there will be VESPERS sung by the choir of All Saints' Catholic College. |   |
  |   |
The PARISH MASS on Sunday 02 November will be offered as a REQUIEM FOR ALL SOULS. |   |
If you would like someone to be prayed for by name at the requiem, please write their name |   |
on the Chantry Lists available at the back of church over the next few Sundays. |   |
There is opportunity for you to purchase a 7– DAY CANDLE (£10 each) in memory of your |   |
loved one – this will be lit on All Souls Day. Please give the name and payment to Ross Buchanan. |   |
The opportunity to purchase a candle will be for All Souls Day and not on the Solemnity of Christ the King. |   |
  |   |
NOVEMBER will be kept as the season of remembrance. The PARISH MASS on |   |
Sunday 09 November will be for REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY when we pray for |   |
those who have died as a result of war and during the month, when there is mass on a |   |
Feria day this will be offered as a requiem with various intentions that reflect our |   |
privilege and duty of prayer for the departed that they may attain to heaven. |   |
  |   |
PASTORAL VISITS & COMMUNION OF THE SICK |   |
Here is information about how to set-up a pastoral visit. |   |
Gone are the days when clergy and ministers could make cold-calls or |   |
invite themselves to your home or when you were in hospital or a care |   |
home. All visiting now, for the safety of all, is pre-arranged and recorded |   |
(simply in a diary). Non-licensed clergy or pastoral visitors are enjoined |   |
to visit always in pairs. This practice has been in place for many years |   |
and has changed the practice of pastoral work within parishes. You will |   |
be familiar that, under rules surrounding data protection (General Data |   |
Protection Regulation), the electoral roll is no longer published with |   |
your address, phone number or email. These changes mean that |   |
parishioners need to take an active role in setting up and facilitating the |   |
pastoral visiting and ministry of a parish. Please feel encouraged to |   |
contact Fr Charles or Lay Minister Gladvin Allen – we need your help to |   |
identify when and where such pastoral ministry is needed. In the same |   |
way that you wouldn't just wait without taking some actions for the GP to |   |
contact you if you are ill, when you seek the pastoral care of the Church |   |
please let us know. The best way to set up a visit is to discuss it after mass |   |
one day or speak to us on the phone. |   |
  |   |
MAKING OUR HOLY COMMUNION: We have returned to receiving |   |
Communion, not in a single line, but by forming a row at the altar step. A |   |
sidesman will stand at the front of the nave aisle directing you. |   |
  |   |
The Host may be placed either directly into your mouth or into your |   |
cupped hands. When you are given the Precious Blood please guide the |   |
base of the chalice with your fingers so that the chalice trips easily and |   |
safely for the administration. |   |
  |   |
For safety and cleanliness, intinction, dipping the Host in the Precious Blood, |   |
is not practised in All Saints. |   |
  |   |
Some people for reasons of personal piety and habit, or for health reasons |   |
choose to receive the Host only and refrain from the Precious Blood. This |   |
was enforced for all during the period of the pandemic as a precaution. It |   |
is now known that the virus was aerosol and it is very unlikely that it could |   |
be spread in alcohol or be held on the surface of a precious metal such as |   |
silver of gold. This information is given for your consideration. |   |
  |   |
Please speak to Fr Charles or the Churchwardens or Ross if you are interested in |   |
baptism or confirmation for you or someone you know. |   |
  |   |
