New Parish Donation Card Reader
A new Donation reader has been placed in the porch for people to use their Debit/Credit card to make donations to the Parish Only. Monday 2nd November – Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day) On this day we remember our dear dead (especially those who may be suffering the purification of Purgatory) with special attention and love. A Plenary Indulgence may be gained for those holy souls on one of the days from 1st to 8th November by visiting devoutly a cemetery and praying there for the dead, or by visiting a church on All Souls Day, 2nd November, and praying there the Our Father and the Creed.Remember too
You can have your dead remembered during November in a special way at all Parish Masses from 2nd November onwards by listing their names on one of the lists you can find in the porch (or on your own paper), putting the list in an envelope (your own or one of those you can find in the porch) and handing it in (No money please) at the church or the presbytery. These envelopes - with their lists - will be placed on the Altar during all Masses in November (from 2nd onwards) and the names will be remembered there. But most importantly, try to attend as many of these Masses as possible and pray there yourself for our dear dead.Quietness (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 are in need of a further team to help clean our church in Llay. We are asking for volunteers, male or female, from any part of the parish to help with this task. Please contact the parish office or Canon. Into The Future 4 Bishop Peter Brignall It is now two and a half years since the third edition of Into the Future, my pastoral plan for the Diocese. As I have reflected with the clergy and people of the Diocese, and following periods of prayer, it is appropriate that this plan has evolved, adapting to changing realities and listening to voices from across the Diocese. The aim of this Pastoral Plan is to refocus the whole Diocese on the mission entrusted to us, by unleashing the gifts of all the baptised in the service of the Church and the world. Parishes and communities are to be, and are encouraged to be, evangelising communities. Download Pastoral Plan….For the hard-of-hearing

Our Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for
November 2026
For the proper use of wealth
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth,
that not succumbing to the temptation of
selfishness, it may always be put at the
service of the common good and solidarity
of those who have less.
Let Us Pray For The Sick of the Parish
Dear Jesus, divine physician and healer of the sick, we turn to you in this time of illness. Oh dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in your hands. Amen.
