From the European School website: ‘Memorial service for Estella Vermeulen, Andrew Hoare and their children Jasper and Friso

On Saturday 27th September a memorial service will be held in Roeser for Estella Vermeulen, Andrew Hoare and their sons Jasper and Friso starting at 15:00 o’clock. They were among the victims of flight MH17 that crashed in Ukraine on 17th July.

The memorial service will be held outdoors possibly. The place will be clearly indicated. There will be a navette towards Roeser departing from Hotel Bernini Bettembourg, Ibis Livange and Berchem station.

The family asks to refrain from taking any photographs during the memorial service.’

Requests are coming in to register children and young adults for First Holy Communion and Confirmation. As yet, no definite dates have been set, nor arrangements made. When we are in a position to open registration, there will be announcements at Mass and on this parish website. You will have plenty of notice, giving you time to register.

Thanks,

Fr Ed

We are planning to have a sale of nearly-new (‘pre-worn’) clothes here at St Alphonse on Saturday 11th October, 14:00-16:000. If you have clothes, especially autumn/winter clothes, and you are able to donate them, please bring them to St Alphonse on or before October 5th — either to Mass, or to the Porterie. Needless to say all items should be clean and in good condition. All proceeds to the Missions. More details to follow soon.

Next Saturday, 28 September, there will be a meeting for all altar servers at 16:30, in the former Scout Room at St Alphonse (the long, low building in the garden, opposite the church). All current servers are invited, along with those who wish to serve and have made their First Holy Communion. In addition, we are introducing Novice Servers (pre-FHC, aged 7 or over) who will be able to serve on the sanctuary as observers. Parents are, of course, welcome.

Please contact me if you need more information. Fr Ed
