TODAY IS GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY also known as ‘VOCATION SUNDAY’ There will be a Retiring Collection for the cost of training Priests and Deacons. IMPORTANT SURVEY - MASS PREFERENCES FOR THE HOLY ROSARY PARISH 2018 Please fill in the survey today for new Mass times. In anticipation of there being no Mass at Holy Rosary on a Saturday evening, please indicate your preference for three new Mass times. I want everyone to vote irrespective of the Mass you attend at the moment. You can vote three times by allocating a (1) or (2) or (3) in your favourite, second favourite and least favourite Mass you are prepared to attend. If you will only go to one Mass, just vote once with a (1) on the Mass of your choice. If you will go to two Masses, vote twice with a (1) and (2) for your favourite and second favourite. If you will go to three Masses, vote three times with a (1), (2) and (3) against the relevant Mass times, and your order of preference. I am proposing: A SATURDAY 6.00pm at St Joseph’s SUNDAY 9.00am at St. Joseph’s SUNDAY 5.00pm at St. Joseph’s So allocate your (1) (2) (3) according to your preference of attendance for September 2017 If you plan to go elsewhere or to Ss. Peter & Paul at 11am, this will not be included in the survey. The most popular two Masses with (1) and (2) and (3) all equalling one point will be a good indication of the way forward.
