COLLECTION IN
MEMORY OF
FR SEAMUS
Instead
of flowers we suggest a collection for Snowflake, the charity for rough
sleepers which was one of Fr Seamus’ favourite causes. There will be boxes at
the rear of the church for cash or cheques payable to Snowflake Trust.
Cheques may also be left in the presbytery or sent to Towner’s, 2-4 Norman Road,
St Leonard’s, TN37 6NH. Or you can pay online to
frseamus.stapleton.muchloved.com

NOVEMBER
BLESSING OF
THE GRAVES
at the
Catholic Cemetery, Fairlight today Sunday 6th November at 3pm.
Envelopes are
at back of church for you to take and fill in with names of your dearly
departed. You can put your filled-in envelope with or without an offering
enclosed through the presbytery letterbox and it will be placed on the altar.
The people whose names you write will be remembered
in the Novena of Masses for the
Holy Souls in
November.
--------------------------------------------------------
Please pray for the Snowflake Night
Shelter for homeless
people, a cause very close to
Fr Seamus’ heart:
Jesus, help us
to see your face in the eyes of
every homeless
person;
keep them safe
from physical and emotional harm;
give them hope
for a better future by the respect, kindness and love shown to them. Amen
Please also pray for those who transport beds and
bedding from church to church each day.
