First Friday & Saturday of November 2026

6th November 2026

The First Friday & Saturday in November, being the month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, will be Friday 6 November and Saturday 7 November.

Our Liturgy Schedule for these two days are as follows:

Friday:

Rosary 11.30am / Mass 12 Noon / Adoration 12.30pm / Benediction 1.20pm

Confession will be available from 12.45pm to 1.15pm on Friday.

Saturday:

The church will be open for private devotion from 9am to 10am.

Please come and join us in observing these holy and blessed days in honour of the Sacred Heart of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

From the beginning the Church has honoured the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified they may attain the beatific vision of God. (CCC No. 1032).

We dedicate the month of November to pray for all the departed. Our parish will offer the November Masses for them.

November Masses for your deceased loved ones can also be arranged through Aid to the Church in Need which arranges over 2 Million Masses each year, supporting 1 in 8 priests worldwide. You can visit www.aidtochurch.org/masses to arrange your Masses.

Prayer of Reparation for Offenses Made against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O merciful Jesus, my King and my God, I worship You.

O Blessed Mother, Mary Immaculate, I cherish you.

For those who offer you insult, I offer you praise.

For those who offer you mocking, I offer you honour.

For those who offer you disbelief, I offer you trust.

For those who offer you hate, I offer you love.

For those who offer you cursing, I offer you blessing.

For those who offer you ridicule, I offer you loving gazes.

For those who offer you blasphemy, I offer you adoration.

For those who offer you rebellion, I offer you obedience.

For those who offer you indifference, I offer you devotion.

For those who offer you obstinate pride, I offer you a contrite heart.

For those who offer you scorn, I offer you fidelity.

Soften the hearts of those who offend you, that they may come to know you and love you as you deserve.

Make my heart more fervent so I may pray without ceasing for the conversion and salvation of souls. Amen.

Prayer of St Gertrude the Great for the Souls in Purgatory

Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Prayer for the Forgotten Dead

O Merciful God, take pity on those souls who have no particular friends and intercessors to recommend them to You, who either through negligence of those who are alive or through length of time, are forgotten by all.

Spare them, O Lord, and remember Your own when others forget to appeal to Your mercy. Let not the souls You have created be parted from You, their Creator. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through Your mercy, rest in peace. Amen.
