Parish Notices, 31st August, 2008.

22nd Sunday of the Liturgical Year


On Friday, 5th September 2008 we keep the memory of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. It is also the First Friday of the month. There will the regular adoration and inner healing after the 7.00 p.m. mass.


On 5th September we also celebrate Teachers’ Day. We would like to wish all our Teachers, those who teach in the school, NIOS, Sunday School, Pre-Baptism and all those others who render voluntary service by conducting classes in slums and elsewhere.


Since our Novena is focused on the life of St. Paul, today/tomorrow we shall distribute a detailed quiz on the life of St. Paul for students of Std. IX, X and XI. Adults can also pick up the quiz from the Parish Office.


We have already begun accepting Mission Masses. Those of you who like to offer Masses are welcome to do so.


Senior citizens, i.e. those 60 and above, who would like to go to Mount Mary’s for the annual pilgrimage, kindly give your names to the Parish Office. The pilgrimage will be on Monday, 15th September 2008. The names will be taken on first come first served basis. We are grateful to a generous donor who has agreed to sponsor the entire pilgrimage. The last date for giving your name is on 7th September.


There will be a training programme for all catechists on Sunday, 7th September 2008, after Sunday School. The programme will be from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30. The resource person is from the Diocesan Pastoral Centre. We shall get a basic idea on how to teach catechism to our children.
