November 2^nd - All Souls Day – The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Mass of All Souls will be celebrated at Bega Cemetery, 7am. BYO chair.

November is a special time in the Catholic Church to pray for the dead. All weekday masses in November are offered for those who have passed away. If you wish to add the names of loved ones to the November list please label an envelope ‘November list’ and include the names on notepaper and leave at the school or parish office or on the 2^nd collection at Sunday Mass. It is customary to include a small donation.

For those considering becoming a Catholic or for those who wish to deepen their understanding, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) will commence 6pm Thursday 14^th November back of the St Pat’s Church-   continuing each week during School terms - until Easter 2020.

There is no obligation to becoming a Catholic, but it is a time to discern the call to become Catholic by exploring the faith, traditions and community of the Catholic Church. For more info please contact me.   luke.verrell@cg.org.au
