Remembrance Sunday
Dear Friends,
This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday. We remember those who gave their lives in conflicts throughout the world and pray for those who are on active service at this time and for veterans. Alongside this, we pray for peace and justice, and for an end to all war and conflict. We continue to pray especially for the people of Ukraine, as the war continues to rage there and also those of the Holy Land. Let us commend this intention to Our Lady, Queen of Peace, as we pray:
Mary, Queen of Peace, we entrust to your Immaculate Heart all who suffer from war, violence, and division throughout the world. Intercede for the nations, soften the hearts of leaders, protect the innocent, and obtain for our world the peace that only your Son can give. Pray for us, O Queen of Peace, that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
This Sunday at OLSG we also continue with the Planned Giving Drive. I would like to remind parishioners that the parish does not receive monies from the Diocese of Westminster or the Vatican. In this sense, we are self sufficient and we need to ensure that we maintain our healthy financial position so that the future is secure for the next generations. Alongside this, we have projects, including the Parish Centre, which need our investment at the present time. I am aware that parishioners give generously to other worthy causes, but I hope that you will number your parish among them and support as you are able. Please remember Gift Aid, and ask about it if you are not sure what it is.
With all good wishes,
Father Daniel
