Holy Mass will be offered each day during the month of November for the names submitted.
The Word this Week God does not have favourites, Saint Paul tells us, but God always makes a special place for the poor, and those whom society would push into second place. In the traditions of Israel God invited the people to have special care for the widows and orphans - so the story we hear in todays Gospel would have a particular resonance. The paradox of Christian faith is this: in giving, we receive. Christ gave everything, sacrificing his very life, and in return received a new and unending life. The widow in the first reading gave her last food for the prophet Elijah, and in return received an endless supply. This is a challenge to us in our turn: what are we invited or asked to give, and in what spirit will we do so, and what will be our reward? Marian Procession The Marian Procession Committee would like to thank the parishioners for their ongoing support to the Marian Procession and heartfelt gratitude to all who attended on the day. Old Gregorian’s Annual Mass for deceased former pupils and teachers of St Gregory's R C High School to be celebrated at St. Kentigern's at 7.30 p.m. on Friday 27th November, 2015 - followed by a gathering in the St Kentigern's Social Club.
