Dear Brothers & Sisters, Remembrance Sunday Today we honour the dead of two world wars. Our Parish Craft team have made a superb Remembrance Poppy display at St.Joseph’sAltar. Many thanks to them. Silence & Remembrance will be kept at the start of 11.00 mass today We recall with gratitude the sacrifices of so many overseas regiments in WWII who stood with the Allies: the Bengal Lancers, Madras Sappers, the West Indies regiment, the Ceylon Light Infantry, King’s African Rifles & the Gurkhas etc. Their sacrifice is remembered too. St Leo the Great (Monday) a Pope of the 5th century worked hard to protect both church and people against barbarian invasions. His interventions prevented a serious massacre. He was the very first ‘Pope Leo’. St. Martin of Tours (Tuesday) a soldier before his conversion, became Bishop of Tours, founding monasteries & churches. A famous story about him depicts him giving his cloak to a beggar. Died 397. St. Josaphat (Wednesday) a martyr for unity, popular in Poland & Ukraine. Ukrainian Orthodox born, he embraced unity of Catholic & Orthodox Churches. Made Bishop of Polotsk in 1617 but was murdered by dissidents opposing unity. St.Albert the Great (Saturday) the great 13th century Dominican theologian is the patron saint of science, having himself pioneered the scientific method of laboratory experiments. ********************************* Many will remember Miss Pat Rogers who used to teach at Our Lady of Compassion school, and also ran our First Communion Programme for many years. Pat passed away peacefully in Cumbria on Thursday. May she rest in peace. Amen
