Ashes Good Neighbour’s scheme:

The Ash Good Neighbour Scheme is now ready to launch.

We are a group of volunteers who wish to offer our time to assist residents in Ash and Ash Vale who have difficulty with transport to the Doctors or the hospital and shopping or we could pop in for a cup of tea and a chat.

Through the success of our last three coffee mornings and with the generous support of Vale Furnishers, we are now able to launch our scheme in early November. We will be distributing information about the scheme throughout Ash and Ash Vale soon.

 If you are interested in finding out more about us or know someone who could benefit from our assistance     

Please telephone 07790 457632.

Father David’s News

Diocese of Arundel & Brighton Jubilee Preparations Autumn 2012

Six week Discussion Groups to discuss the Vatican Council Document about Liturgy, Worship and the Sacraments – especially the Mass start next week:

Mondays at Holy Family Church Hall beginning on 22nd October 2012 at 7.30pm

Wednesdays at Home of Gloria Craven (Tel: 01252 321609) beginning on 24th October at 7.30pm

November is the month of Prayer for the Holy Souls.  The month when we remember with love and thanksgiving those who have been part of our lives in a special way.

Attached to the Newsletter today is a Prayer and Mass Request for you to include the names of those you would like remembered at Mass during the month of November and who will also be remembered individually at one of the Masses during the forthcoming year.  Please PRINT the names clearly so that they can be read out at a Mass and place the Mass and Prayer Request in an envelope with any donation you may wish to include.  Your contribution will be confidential – the envelopes may be placed on the offertory collection plate at Mass but they will only be opened by the Priest.

May those we remember here on earth remember us in their Prayers in Heaven. 

‘Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them’

God Bless you all,       Father David
