ADULT FAITH FORMATION IN OUR DIOCESE : Copies of the first leaflet, which adapts the programme for personal use, are at the back of the church. Please take one home an d do what you can to join spiritually with the rest of the Diocese to prepare for the Great Jubilee of 2033 under the Bishop’s inspired guidance. I will produce the second leaflet for Sunday 29 th November, the First of Advent.
ANOINTING OF RCIA CANDIDATES : Since our candidates have now completed volume 1 of their program, entitled “My Catholic Faith”, I will anoint them at Masses next weekend, 14 th & 15 th November, as a way of signifying and promoting their growth in spiritual strength in the Holy Spirit. They are not being anointed with the oil of the sick! Rather, it is a way of bringing them and their courageous efforts to the attention of the parish community so that we can continue to support them with our prayers, our presence and our friendship. Please make a point of encouraging and welcoming them personally!
