Father Hugh writes:
Today is the Solemnity of St Philip
Howard.
St Philip was Earl of
Arundel and died in the Tower of
London on 19th October 1595.
There is a long biography in the
Diocesan Proper for the Feast which
some of you may have. Suffice to
say there was much conflict in his
life, and as a senior courtier at the
Court of Elizabeth I. It was really
through the strength of his wife Anne
Dacre that St Philip was able to find
that strength of faith and to die a Your thoughts please:

planting for next year can begin,
and the moving of plants too.
Autumn is always a good time to
make adjustments to gardens. The
ground is warm and root growth
can begin before the winter’s cold.
Time too to bring in all those tender
plants that you want to keep for
next year, and to compost the rest
for organic matter in the coming
months.

meeting that was postponed from
10th October will now take place
on 10th November in the Jurgens
Centre.
Last week I asked whether you
were interested in the idea of
getting a group together for a
Christmas theatre trip.
The
suggestions are: Panto - Woking
Victoria Theatre or Theatre Royal
Windsor. Or possibly Wind in the
Willows, part of the Royal Ballet’s
works, this year at The Vaudeville
in the Strand, and hugely
acclaimed for the family. Or The
Nutcracker at The London
Coliseum? Your thoughts please.
Our thanks to Dom Moloney for
leading on our ‘Youth Mass’ on
22nd November. It will be a good
celebration of our younger
people. We have a number of
musicians (though not all have
sent me their details yet for coordination!). Please may I have
them.
We shall need Readers and
Ministers of the Eucharist, teams
of welcomers for all Masses if
possible please. I hope it will set
us going on a new path for
inspirational liturgies for all so that
our collective worship is good!
Advent Groups
Forms are available in the pews this
weekend for you to sign up to an
Advent Group. As in previous years
we will need host homes, leaders and
participants for the groups. We will
be using the published booklets
which we will need to order, and the
focus is very simple – reflecting on
the Sacred Scriptures for the four
Advent Sundays. Groups will begin
w/c 24th November. Advent Sunday
is 30th November.
