7pm Mass in St Alphonse, 2 February, is being offered for Dorothy and James Harcaric.

11am Mass at SS Peter & Paul, Hollerich 3 February is being offered for the repose of the soul of Ann Ryan, the mother of Alan Ryan of our community. Please pray for her, and for the family.

We also remember this week Jennifer Woo who is sick and Mary Eivers, whose anniversary occurs around this time. We give thanks to God for the lives of those we have loved and lost, and commend them to his mercy.

It is a wonderfully rich part of our Catholic tradition that we keep in mind before the Lord those who have gone before us: those who were part of our life, those who handed the faith on to us, those who showed us kindness, those who did so much good during their life: indeed, all the faithful departed. The Communion of Saints means that we are one community, united in the Risen Lord.

May the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen
