Remembrance Day 2025
The First World War Armistice came into effect at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th Month in 1918. We remember the courageous men and women who gave their lives in wartime and as a result of war. As we remember the lives that have been lost, let us promise each other to work for the freedom of all who are oppressed in the world today. We ask this prayer in the name of Jesus who taught us how to live. Amen.
Mass will be celebrated at 7.30am on Tuesday 11th November
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
Lest we forget!

November Mass Intentions
During the month of November, we remember those who have returned to the Father
We invite all families to write the names of departed loved ones in the books of remembrance. Mass Offering Envelopes are also available (names cannot be printed in the Weekly Bulletin due to the large volume).
We contemplate the lives and deaths of our loved ones and all the departed, recognizing our unity with them in the Church, and praying for their eternal rest. It is a time to be thankful for the gift of life, remember the power of God's love, and reflect on the destructive power of sin, while also reaffirming faith in eternal life through Christ's victory over death. This day provides a moment to extend compassion, hope, and prayer for those who have passed.
