Everybody Welcome PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL NEWS A number of members had the honour to attend the dedication of a beautiful new Prayer-room in Mayfield Community School. It was so good to meet the staff and pupils and share some time together in prayer and listen to Chaplin John Hurley play his guitar in song to mark this worthwhile occasion. Tucked away at the back of the school the prayer room allows students to retreat from the stresses of everyday life, allowing time for quiet reflection in preparation for the challenges ahead. The principal, Mr. Walsh drew attention to the importance of schools creating a space for students to nurture their spiritual lives and that many students are delighted to make use of this new facility. We wish them all well and hope the benefits will go with them in all they choose to do. A special Mass of Remembrance for deceased loved ones was held on Monday the 3rd of November at 7pm, it was very well attended by families and friends who were comforted by the beautiful ceremony and the lovely atmosphere of the candlelit Mass. A number of our local children are now in training to become altar servers and we are very excited about seeing them help out at our Masses soon. We wish them all the best for the future. Our website is being updated and we expect to have it in operation early in the New Year. The Parish Council proposes to gather contact details from anyone who is informed of upcoming parish events via text. You can leave details in the box which will be provided at the back of the church. Christian meditation continues each Tuesday morning after 9.30am Mass. All are most welcome to attend. The Christmas Giving Tree will be launched on the weekend of Nov. 30th/31st next.
