Parish News for the 29th Week in Ordinary Time
This Sunday is the 29th in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel reading, Jesus challenges his hearers to ‘render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ What of our time, money, talents or commitment are we withholding from God?

Music this Sunday
This Sunday the choir will sing the Missa aeterna Christi munera by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Agnus Dei ii.
‘What we do in Church and Why?’
This Sunday 18th October and next 25th October, join us for two post-Mass teaching sessions. This is your opportunity to ask all those questions about the church’s worship which you’ve never dared to before.
All Saints Day Festival Mass
On Sunday 1st November join us at 5pm for our All Saints Day Festival Mass with music by Rheinberger and Stanford. The Mass will be followed by a Grand Reception. Our guest preacher will be the Very Rev’d Edward Dowler, Dean of Chichester.
Please invite your friends and neighbours to this very special occasion. All are welcome. If you are able to help with food and drink, please sign up on the sheets at the back of church.
All Souls-tide Requiem Mass
On Saturday 7th November at 12pm we will celebrate our annual All Souls-tide Requiem Mass where we remember and pray for all our departed loved ones.
If you would like to have someone prayed for at this Mass please write their name on the list at the back of church. Seven-day candles in memory of a loved one are also available for a small donation.
Solemn Mass at S Andrew Holborn
