Did you know… estimates suggest that without rapid action,
1.4 million people could be infected with Ebola by Christmas?
CAFOD has released £200,000 to our partners in Sierra Leone
and Liberia, but we need to raise more money to scale up
supplies of hygiene materials and protective equipment, to
support safe burial practice. With much fear and denial on the
ground, raising public awareness is a good line of defence.
Robust action now means that we can save lives. With CAFOD,
the Church is on the front line of efforts to halt the spread of
the virus.

OCTOBER, the MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY
Soon it will be that time when we are reminded of the importance of
uniting our prayers with the Mother of God and conforming ourselves
to Christ as revealed in the mysteries of His life. We grow in our
appreciation of Christ through meditating on these mysteries.
We do, however, need to be careful that our prayer does not become
wordy and mechanical. Pope Paul VI said “Without contemplation, the
Rosary is a body without a soul.”
therosary3.com is a scriptural Rosary. Whether you are already in the
habit of praying the Rosary and want to renew the spirit of your prayer,
or whether you are new to the Rosary and want to learn how to quieten
your mind and heart, therosary3.com will help you enter more deeply
into the Mysteries of Christ. Come then, come to a quiet place within
… visit therosary3.com.
To Jesus, through Mary ...

Once again it is time to rely on your

the shoeboxes for children who are
less fortunate than ours. You can

donate one or two items from the list
and these will be packed by Holy
Family children either at school or
during the 10.45am Mass by our own
‘Little Church’.
Thank you in advance.
WHEN IN HOSPITAL
The Catholic Chaplaincy Team of any hospital needs to be informed if you or a
relative wish to be seen by chaplaincy. Either inform a member of the ward
staff that you wish to have a chaplaincy visit or let Fr Kevin know and he will
pass on details to the Catholic chaplain’s office.
Story Meditations by Father Anthony De Mello
A priest was walking down a street when he saw a little boy jumping up and down
trying to ring a door bell. The poor kid was too small and the bell too high.
So the priest went up and rang the bell for the little fellow. Then turning to the kid
with a smile, he asked, “What do we do now?”
The little fellow said. “Run like hell”.
