Bhileag (Newsletter) 6th November 2022

November Lists: One of the important things we can do during the month of November is to pray for our faithful departed. The Month of November is often called the Month of the Holy Souls. There are November lists with envelopes available at the Church entrance. Please write down on the lists the names of any deceased family, relatives, friends, parishioners you would like to remember and pray for. Once you have filled in your list please place the list in the envelope provided (or any envelope) and inside the envelope please place an offering. Please pass the envelopes onto Canon John Paul or to put in offertory basket. These envelopes will then be placed upon the Altar at every Holy Mass and those names you have written will be remembered at the Altar of God at each Mass in November.

Graveyard Rosary: Each Sunday in November we will gather to pray the Rosary in each of our Graveyards. Please note the times and dates and places!! As always if the weather is poor we will gather in the nearest Church. For this Sunday (6th November) it will be Cuithir Graveyard at 3pm.

Fr. Stanley Bennie: we remember in our prayers the repose of the soul of Fr. Stanley who for many years had been the Episcopalian Priest in Stornoway and when he retired he converted to Catholicism and then ordained to the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. Fr. Stanley’s funeral will be in St. Marys RC Church in Inverness on Monday 7th November and then he will be taken to Stornoway to be laid to rest there. May he rest in peace. Amen.
