1. World Day of Families: New podcast from WMOF2018

Let’s Talk Family is a new weekly podcast from WMOF2018. This new podcast is coming to you weekly between now and next August and we hope to bring you all the news about how preparations are going for the 9th World Meeting of Families. But, we also hope to take time out on this podcast to talk about family. In this week’s episode Brenda Drumm is speaking to Ephrem Feeley - the composer of 'A Joy For All The Earth' - the official hymn for the 9th World Meeting of Families.  You can access the podcast here https://soundcloud.com/user-754239044-892578831/lets-talk-family-episode-four-10th november-2017

2. This Sunday is the First World Day For The Poor.

3. Oscar Romero Family award. Archbishop Oscar Romero was shot dead during mass in

    El Salvador.

4. Every priest carries a little card like a debit card with the information contained on

    on it that he is in good standing in the diocese. This card is referred to as a

    celebret.  So if a priest decides to carry out and assist at sacraments he has to

    show this celebret to the resident priest. This regulation has been in place for many

    years and is part of the diocese's wish to protect the vulnerable.

5. We welcome our First Communion class as they take their first steps on the

    journey to receive for the first time.

Hymns.

Going home, going home,                              Mother’s there expecting me.                

I’m going home.                                          Father’s waiting too.  

Quiet-like, some still day,                                                    Lots of folk gathered there.

I’m just going home.                                               All the friends I knew.  

It’s not far just close by                                All the friends I knew.                                    

through an open door.

 Work all done, care laid by, 

 going to fear no more.

In Bread we bring you, Lord.

In bread we bring you Lord, our bodies labour.

In wine, we offer you our spirits grief. We do

not ask you, Lord who is my neighbour? But stand

united now, in one belief. Oh we have gladly heard

your word, your holy word, and now in answer Lord

our gifts we bring. Our selfish hearts make true,

our failing faith renew, our lives belong to you, our Lord and King.

There is a Place.

There's a time for remembering, a time to recall.

The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls.

There's a time to be grateful for moments so blest,

The jewels of our memory where love is our guest.
