All Souls Day on Tue, the 2nd of Nov, is a day of remembrance of our loved ones gone before us. Masses will be as on weekdays, with two extra evening Masses at 5.00 pm and 6.00 pm. There will be no Mass in the Seaside Cemetery, due to Covid protocols. However, a priest from the Parish will bless all the graves during the day. You are welcome to visit and offer floral tributes. Candles are not permitted.
We take this opportunity to express gratitude to the MCGM, through the courtesy of our Corporator Mr. Asif Zakharia, for rebuilding an entire wall of the Seaside Cemetery which was on the point of collapse and for fitting 8 Solar Lights that now illuminate the cemetery to prevent unauthorized entry and damage.
We also express gratitude to Mr. Paul Fishery who has single-handedly supervised the renovation and beautification of the Seaside Cemetery and the Cemetery in front of the Church. Much hard work and planning have gone into this. We can all be assured that our future is now well provided for!
The Jesuits from Ashagad thank those who have sent in their Mission Sunday Contribution for their work with the adivasis. We remind those who have not yet contributed, that you can still do so this weekend.
