1 November 2026 Bulletin

by | Oct 28, 2026 | Bulletin | 0 comments

This Sunday, we celebrate All Saints’ Day, honoring the holy men and women who have gone before us in faith. As November begins, we also remember and pray for the faithful departed, entrusting them to God’s mercy and the hope of eternal life.

In this week’s bulletin, Fr Christopher Smith reflects on preparing our hearts to receive Holy Communion, the importance of thanksgiving afterward, and how we can deepen our reverence for the Eucharist.
