Sunday 1st Novem ber 2026 Feast of Saints God, lover of souls, you hold dear what you have made and spare all things, for they are yours.
Look gently on your servant and by the blood of the cross forgive his/her sins and failings.
Remember the faith of those who mourn and satisfy their longing for that day when all will be made new again in Christ, our risen Lord, who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.

PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR THE HOLY SOULS 1. From twelve o’clock noon on the 1st November until midnight on the 2nd November, all who have confessed, received Holy Communion and prayed for the Pope’s intentions (one Our Father, one Hail Mary, or any other prayer of one’s choice) can gain one plenary indulgence by visiting a Church or Oratory, and there reciting one Our Father and the Apostles Creed.
The indulgence is applicable only to the souls of the departed.

We are now looking for new volunteers for this important Ministry in the Parish.
Perhaps you also know someone you could propose with their permission?
We are looking for both younger adults and recent retirees who would be suitable for this ministry.
How do you know if you might be suited and suitable?
Here are some questions you can ask yourself: Do I practice my faith [Sunday Mass every week]; Do I have a love for the Holy Eucharist?
Do I live in accordance with the Gospel as the Church teaches?
Do I desire to be of service to the parish?
Do I desire to grow in my faith? Many devout Catholics question whether they are worthy to distribute the Holy Eucharist. We all have failings, and the inner life of the soul is known only to God.
If you are indeed asked to do this service, then you must trust that you are suitable and able.
Trai ning will be provided. Ministers are scheduled by the Coordinator, who will take account of other commitments you may have.
We would like to see candidates come forward who attend our daily Masses, especially 8 am and 10 am, especia lly younger attendees and recent retirees.

Paróiste Chill Taobhóige Tithe Pobail Ghleann Fhinne agus Leitir Bric All Saints Day - Sunday Year A — November 1st 2026 Thoughts on the Gospel for All Saints Day November 1st 2026 Today the Church commemorates all those persons who lived in friendship with God on their earthly journey and entered through it into his glory.
Some saints are raised to the altars as models of virtue and love for God.
But many others left an im- print of sanctity day after day that perhaps passed unnoticed to human eyes, but that never escaped the attentive and loving eyes of God.
As Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei, said: “All Saints Day is the feast of that quiet and simple sanctity —sanctity without any human splendor —which seems to leave no trace in history, but shines forth before God.
It leaves behind in the world a sowing of Love from which nothing is lost.”For the Gospel of today’s Mass, the liturgy chose the passage of the beatitudes according to Saint Matthew.
Thus it underlines the fact that these are the equivalent of sanctity, both of the sanctity that makes some peo-ple famous, so to speak, and the sanctity that is only fully revealed in heaven.
November Novena for the Dead It will begin on
Saturday 31st October with the lighting of the Memorial Candles at 6 p.m.
Mass. And conclude at 7 p.m. Mass on Thursday November 12th.
Envelopes for the November Lists are available in both chapels.
Please take one, complete your list and drop it into the box.
Before Mass of the 31st of October List of the Dead for Memorial Candles 2026 (died since November 2025) Molly Harkin, Paul Colgan, Patrick (Big Pat) Gallagher, Paul Marley, Bridie Marley, William Gallagher, Betty Loughlin, Josh Morrow, Hugh McGinty, Mary Kelly, Micky Bonner, John Gallagher, Kathleen Doherty, Peter Quinn, Anthony McBride, Noreen Lyons, Paddy McNamee, Michael McDaid, Packie O’Connor, Kitty Summerville, Patrick Joseph Bonar.

AN CHÉAD LÉACHT
Sliocht as leabhar an Apacailipsis. 7:2-4, 9-14. Chonaic mé aingeal eile anoir chugam ó éirí gréine agus séala an Débhí aige.
Ghlaoigh sé in aird a ghotha ar na ceithre haingle ar cuireadh de chúram orthu neamh agus talamh a scrios agus dúirt sé leo:“Ná déanaigí dochar do mhuir ná do thalamh ná do chrainn nó go raibh séala curtha againn ar sheirbhísigh Dé ar chlár a n-éadáin.” Chuala mé líon an t-slóigh ar cuireadh an séala orthu, céad daichead is a ceathair de mhilte as gach treibh de chlann Israél.
Ina dhiaidh sin, d'amharc mé arís agus siúd an slua gan áireamh de dhaoine as gach cine, treibh, pobal agus teanga; iadina seasamh os comhair na rí-chathaoireach i láthair an Uain, éide geal orthu, craobhacha láimh agus iad ag glaoch in ard a gcinn le chéile: “Slánú dár n Diaatáina shuí ar an rí-chathaoir agus don Uan!” Sheas na haingle go léir thart timpeall na rí-chathaoireach, na seanóirí agus na gceithre beithíoch; thit siad ar a mbéal fúthu os comhair na rí-chathaoireach agus thug adhradh do Dhia á rá: “Amen.
Moladh agus glóir agus eagna agus buíochas agus onóir agus cumhacht agus neart dárn Diatrí shaol na saol.
Amen.” Ansind'iompaidh duine de na seanóirí chugam agus dúirt: “ladsinatá gléasta in éidí gheala, cé hiad féin nó carbh as díobh?” Duirt mise leis: “A Thiarna, is agatsa is fearr atá a fhios sin.” Ansin dúirt sé liom: “Siniad an dream a tháinig slán ón phianchrá mhór agus a gcuid róbaí nite geal i bhfuil an Uain.” Briathar an Tiarna.
FR. Buíochas do Dhia. FREAGRA AN t SAILM:
A leithéid siúd a bhíonn ar do thóir, a Thiarna
AN DARA LÉACHT
Sliocht as céad litir Naomh Eoin. 3:1-3. A chlann ionúin, a leithéid de ghrá is a thug an t Athair dúinn, go dtabharfaí clann Dé orainn; agus is amhlaidh sinn. “Sé “n fáth nach n-aithníonn daoine dona an t-saoil, sin mar nach bhfuair siad aithne airsean go fóil.
A chairde na páirte, is clann Dé sinn cheana féin, níor foilsíodh dúinn go fóill cé mar bheimid; ach nuair a fhoilseofar é, táa fhios againn an méid seo; go mbeimid cosúil leisean agus tchifimid é mar atásé. Gach duine a chuirfeas an dóchas sin roimhe naomhaíonn sé é féin mar atá seisean naofa.
Briathar an Tiarna. FR. Buíochas do Dhia.
SOISCÉAL Sliocht as an Soiscéal naofa de réir Naomh Maitiú. 5:1-12. Nuair a chonaic Íosa na sluaite, chuaigh sé suas an sliabh.
Shuigh sé síos agus tháinig a dheisceabail chuige.
Thoisigh sé ag caint leo á dteagasc agus dúirt: “Is beannaithe na bochta ó spiorad, óir is leo ríocht na fhlaitheas.
Is beannaithe na daoine ceansa, nó gheobhaidh siad an talamh mar oidhreacht.
Is beannaithe lucht an dóláis, nó gheobhaidh siad sólás.

Now they just want us to connect with them.
Prayer for the dead does that and our prayers might still have to be formulated as if we are praying for them we are now simply connecting with them and what was formerly a cold, cutting absence now becomes a warm, comforting presence.

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 01st November 2026 – Solemnity of All Saints November Indulgences for the Holy Souls The Following Plenary Indulgences may be obtained for the Holy Souls in Purgatory during the First Week of November: 1. From 12 Noon on November 1st until Midnight on November 2nd all who have gone to Confession, received Holy Communion and prayed for the Pope’s Intentions (1x Our Father, 1 x Hail Mary) can gain one Plenary Indulgence by visiting a church and there reciting 1 x Our Father & 1 x the Apostles’ Creed.
This Indulgence is applicable only to the souls of the departed.
The Individual Sacramental Confession to a Priest may be made any time within a week before or after November 1st. 2. The Faithful who visit a cemetery and pray for the dead may gain a plenary indulgence (applicable only to the Holy souls) once per day from November 1st – November 8th . They must also have gone to confession, received Holy Communion and prayed for the Pope’s intentions as per #1 (above).
Once again Sacramental Confession may be made any time within a week before or after November 1st. For any Plenary Indulgence, (in addition to the prescribed prayer or action, the reception of Sacramental Confession & Holy Communion, and prayers for the Holy Father’s intentions), a person’s mind and heart must be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin.
This detachment from sin is a great grace from God and we should pray that the Lord grant us this grace in preparation for our efforts on behalf of the Holy Souls.
If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled - the Indulgence is then only partial – but still of great benefit to our Beloved Deceased.
