PARISH NOTICES

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS:

We are now in a position to share the funeral details for our dear Fr David. As a parish community, we prepare to commend him to the loving arms of God, and we give thanks for his life and his wonderful ministry among us.

The funeral details are as follows:

Tuesday, 27 January, 6pm: Reception of Fr David’s body and Mass at Our Lady Queen of Peace, Braintree.

Wednesday, 28 January, 11am: Requiem Mass at the Cathedral of St Mary and St Helen, Brentwood.

Bishop Alan will preside at both Masses.

COACH TO BRENTWOOD ON WEDNESDAY FOR FR DAVID’S REQUIM MASS:

The Parish has organised a coach for Wednesday 28th January to take parishioners to Brentwood. The coach will pick up at 9.15am at Braintree Railway Station. The coach will then leave Brentwood at 2.30pm and return you to Braintree Railway Station. I will put a sheet at the back of Church from Saturday evening, if you wish to have a seat on the coach, please be sure to put your name and a contact telephone number on there. We are restricted to 57 seats. There won’t be a specific charge, but we would welcome discretionary donations towards the cost.

The forms to sign up for the coach to Brentwood for Fr David’s Requiem Mass on Wednesday will be at the back of Church before and after each Mass over the weekend. There is a form for each Mass with nineteen seats available on each one. We are trying to do this in the fairest way for all our parishioners.

CONFESSIONS AND EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Confessions and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on Saturday
mornings between 10.30am and 11.30am.
