CEMETERY MASS

Rylstone’s Cemetery

Tuesday 19th November 1pm


Weather permitting, please bring a picnic rug or chairs to sit on. If it is raining, the Mass will be moved to the local church.


BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE

November is a special time of prayer and remembrance for all those who have died.
The Book of Remembrance will be presented in the Offertory Procession and placed on the altar each day with the names of all who have requested prayers for family and friends.

Due to the large number of requests we are not able to print all the names in the bulletin.
The names of the sick and those whose anniversaries occur at this time will continue to be printed in the bulletin.



Christian Initiation: The Rite of Enrolment of Names

On Saturday, 9th November, during the Vigil Mass, we will celebrate the Rite of Enrolment of Names. This is a significant step on the journey of faith for our catechumen, Kate.

We invite you to keep Kate in your prayers, asking the Lord to guide and strengthen her as she prepares for the Sacraments of Initiation.

The second step in Christian initiation is the Rite of Election or Enrolment of Names. This significant rite marks the end of the catechumenate—the extended period in which catechumens deepen their understanding and commitment to the faith. The celebration of the Rite of Election also signals the beginning of a final, more focused preparation period for the Sacraments of Initiation. During this time, the elect are encouraged to follow Christ with even greater devotion and openness.

Father Owen is on leave during September, October and November.


A message from Fr Owen:

Hello from Ireland
Hi, all going well. Visited one of the oldest Monastery in Ireland that was ultimately destroyed on Henry VIII’s order to dissolve the monasteries. It was destroyed by English troops around 1560AD.
