Martin Daly re-decoration: Martin only lived in the parish a few years before he died in Mary Sunley House. But he was very happy and involved himself in parish life. He kindly left us a very generous legacy, which we are using to redecorate the Church. The structural engineers have said that the building (built in 1936) is in good condition. Weekend Sunday Masses will still be in Church but weekday Masses in the Lower Hall until the completion of the decorating.

St. Gemma's Hospice has written to express their grateful thanks for £504 donated at the Requiem Mass for Audrey Higgins.
Thank you for your support.

We begin to walk in a new life:
By baptism in his death, we were buried with Christ and,
As Christ was raised from among the dead by the glory of the Father.
So we begin to walk in a new life.
It was an image of his death when we were grafted in him,
and so we shall also share in his resurrection.
So you too must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus…
Offer yourselves as persons returned from death to life,
and let the members of your body be as holy instruments at the service of God.

Cf. Romans 6:3-5, 11, 13
