The Solemnity of “All Saints”,
Usually celebrated on November 1st, is transferred this year to Sunday November 2nd, as happens nowadays when a Holiday of Obligation falls on a Saturday or a Monday. On this Feast we honour the great army of saints who rejoice in the wonderful vision and presence of God in Heaven and whose company we ourselves hope to join one day. We do this by celebrating Mass together on this holy day. “Ladies Down Under” Entertainment at Darland High School from Wednesday 29th to Friday 31st October. Doors open at 7pm, tickets £6. See the Notice in the Porch or visit www.darlandtheatre.comNeurodiversity and our Faith
research
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England & Wales and Birmingham Newman University are conducting research into Neurodiversity and our Faith. If you're an adult neurodivergent Catholic or a Caregiver of a neurodivergent Catholic, we want to hear from you. Your experiences will help us to become more inclusive and responsive to your needs. To find out more and to fill in our short surveys look here: www.godwhospeaks.uk/ neurodivergent- catholic-surveys/. A New Group for young adults (18 to 35) This is starting up at Wrexham's St Mary's Cathedral parish. This is open for neighbouring parishes also. The meetings are fortnightly on Tuesdays, with the next sessions being on Tuesday 28th October and then 11th November, at 19:00 in St Mary's Church hall, next-door to the Cathedral. Together, we will grow in our understanding of the Catholic faith, our personal relationships with God, and our participation in the life of the Church. We will grow in fellowship with one another and have some fun too. If you would like to come along, or have any questions, email Philip: thomas.philipl@sky.comQuietness (Reverence) in
Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be reverent, for this is the house of the Lord. Before Mass speak to God. During Mass let God speak to you. After Mass speak to one another, but quietly, without disturbing those who are at prayer – ideally in the porch.

We sadly announce the death of Hugh O’Hare of Marford which occurred suddenly on Monday last, October 20th, at his home. He was 80. He will be sorely missed by his wife and family and many friends and relatives. Please keep him and them in your prayers. Hugh’s Funeral Mass will be celebrated here in Llay on Thursday, 6th November, at 1.30pm, to be followed by cremation at Pentrebychan at 3pm. May he rest in peace. Also Please remember also in your prayers Vince Brown who died recently. He attended St Mary’s Cathedral in Wrexham for many years, but in later years (until failing health prevented him from doing so) he and his wife attended Llay Mass. He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends. His funeral will be held at the Crematorium on November 7th at 1.30pm. May he rest in peace. Old copies of “The Tablet” Some old copies of “The Tablet” will be placed in the porch from time to time – to be taken away and read by anyone who would like to do so.For the hard-of-hearing
Do remember that the “loop system” operates here. “Safeguarding” Message The Catholic Church is committed to the safeguarding and protection of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. Every person has a right to be safe and respected within our community in a non-judgemental way. As a parish, we take this responsibility seriously. We follow national safeguarding guidelines, ensure all volunteers are properly vetted and trained, and maintain clear procedures for reporting concerns. Our parish is open and is inclusive to all who come to pray within. Together, let us continue to build a community of care, trust, and safety for all in an open honest, tolerant and receptive manner. If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child or vulnerable adult, or if you wish to speak with someone about a safeguarding issue, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Representative or the Diocesan Safeguarding Office.

Commemoration of All the

Day) – usually on November 2nd

These envelopes - with their lists - will be placed on the Altar during all Masses in November (from 3rd onwards) and the names will be remembered there.
