November - the month of the Holy Souls
November is a special time in the Catholic Church when we remember and pray for those who have died, especially our family members, friends and loved ones.
We give thanks for the lives they shared with us and place our hope in God’s promise of eternal life.
Throughout this month, we are invited to remember the departed in our prayers and to find comfort in the love and hope we share through Christ.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
Remembrance Day - 11th November
Remembrance Day marks the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front at 11 am on 11th November 1918, bringing an end to the fighting in the First World War. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was later renamed to honour all Australians who have served and suffered in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Today, Australians commemorate the day by attending services, wearing red poppies and observing one minute of silence at 11 am to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
We will remember them. Lest we forget.

For the proper use of wealth
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service the common good and solidarity of those who have less.
Amen.
