SAINT OF THE WEEK One of the interesting things that happens in life is making friends with people from different cultures.
We learn from other people, especially those different from us.
Malachy did that. This native of Armagh travelled through Europe, and became friends with St Bernard in Clairvaux.
When travelling to Rome and back, he always stopped off in Bernard’s monastery, and what a chat these two reforming saints must have had.
It was in Clairvaux that Malachy fell ill and died, and there with Bernard he was buried.
St Malachy, patron of Armagh, and of friendship, pray for us (feast, Tuesday, 3 November) (From ‘Scandalous Saints and Spirited Sinners’, Veritas Publications 2005, by Bernard Cotter) FAMILY OF PARISHES OFFICE TO BOOK MASSES, ARRANGE WEDDINGS, BAPTISMS, ANNIVERSARIES, ETC.

Does Purgatory exist? Facebook occasionally presents me with an album of photos, tracing my years as a subscriber.
It’s a limited look back, but always interesting.
When I die, I expect to see a similar review of my life, from God’s perspective — an album of memories.
Some things I may have conveniently forgotten, and some of the good I did also.
When I’ve made a review with God’s loving eyes on me, I can see myself saying I’m not ready to enter heaven — because in that moment of judgement, there can be no lies, only Supreme Truth.
I’ll need time to get my head around divine forgiveness, as I remember times I failed to mirror that.
I hope my friends will pray for me, to keep my hope alive until I am ready to pass through to eternal Beauty — a destiny promised to all who are faithful.
The Church calls this a time of purification, which is what I’ve described above.
As the Catechism puts it:“All who die in God’s grace …. are assured of their eternal salvation, but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.” What do you think?

Feast of All Saints Today we remember all the saints who share the happ iness of heaven.
We are called to be saints by becoming chil dren of God, by becoming more like our Father.
This is our greatest possible fulfilment.
It begins already, if we ourselves be moulded by the Beatitudes.

Mon - Wed. 9.00am - 12. 30pm We celebrate today the Feast of All Saints, not jus t the canonized, but all those people who have been faithful witnesses to the love of God by living out the message of the Gospel during their life.
We trust that our loved ones, relations and friends are among those who are now enjoying the glory and happiness of being face to face with God.
The saints we celeb rate were men and women like us.
Perhaps we may sometimes think of our departed loved ones as being dead and gone.
But our faith helps us to believe that they are alive now more than ever, bec ause they are now fully alive in God.
The life they now enjoy can no longer be touched by sickness, su ffering, sin, or death.
We thank God for all those whom he has already welcomed to heaven.
During November we pray especially for those who are still being purified in Purgatory knowing that our prayers can help them.
The Second Reading from the First LeƩer of St John, reminds us of the great love of God who already has chosen to call us His children. “What we are to be in the future has not yet been r evealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel, propose to us a way of life, inviting us to be poor in spirit, that is relying on God to help us through life, to identify with the meek, those who mourn, and those who hunger and thirst after justice.
They challenge us to be compassionate people, to be men and women who are in heart, and to become peacemakers in our deal ings with one another, in our families and in society at large, even when this entails ridicule and persecution.
We pray for faith and courage to walk this journey.
The saints encourage us in ourd ay-to-day struggles because like us they also endur ed struggles.
Our Faith assures us that all who respond to the Lord’s invitation to live the life of the Beatitudes will one day hear those welcoming and consoling words, "Well done, good and faithful serv ant, enter into the joy of your Family of Parishes of: Ballincollig | Ballinora | Kilmurry | Ovens and Farran Scan for Website DISCOVERYA faith study as part of the Cork and Ross Diocese faith development Through Discovery you can deepen your daily life with God and learn a new awareness of just who you ar and how you can live.

The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus teaches us that if we live ac- cording to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life.
The Beatitudes fulfil God’s promises made to Abraham and his descendants and describe the rewards that will be o urs as loyal followers of Christ. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the k ingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown me rcy.
Blessed are the clean in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven . Prayer for Vocations Loving God, at baptism you have gifted each of us with a call to serve you and all people in everything we do.
Give us the strength to share your message of love, justice, hope and peace in every part of our Diocese of Cork and Ross.
We ask you Lord, for the gift of new vocations to priesthood in our Diocese.
In your fatherly care, accompany those who are seeking to know your will for them.
Inspire those you invite to serve as priests and fill them with the courage to answer that call.

THE Sunday RE ADINGS First Reading: Apoc. 7:2-4, 9-14 In commemorating all the saints in heaven, we give thanks to God for the inspiration which their witness continues to give us.
Though not known to us by name, these are the women and menwho showed perseverance and trust in their pilgrim jour ney of faith.
Far from fleeing in the face of challenge, they faced di fficulty with con fidence and hope and now rejoice in God's presence forever.
Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3 John reminds us of our identity as children of a God who is lavish with his gifts.
We are asked to hold fast to the hope contained in God’s promise to us.
As we journey together towards our h eavenly home, we are strengthened in the knowledge that he is with guiding us, perfecting us, preparing us for a destiny which is beyond our wildest imaginings.
Gospel: MaƩhew 5:1-12 The first three words in today's Gospel passage provide with the key to understanding why Jesus climbed the hill and beg an to teach: seeing the crowds .' In the Scriptures, the image of sight is often used to describe not just the physical act of looking at and recognizing someone or something but also — and at a more profo und level — 'seeing' describes spiritual insight.
When Jesus looks at us, he sees as God sees.
He recognizes our need. He speaks words o f life to us.
He enlivens our hearts with hope and he helps us to se that the poor, humble, liƩle ones of the earth are those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven.

They also show us how God wants us to respond to it: with mercy, with peacemaking, with a hunger and thirst for holiness (right living and justice).
The Beatitudes give us a hint of what we pray for when we pray "Your kingdom come.
The Beatitudes are not just for the saints of They are for us today.

Ballinhassig Parish Newsletter for Ballygarvan, Ballyheada and Goggins Hill Vol. 35 No. 8 Sunday: November 1st, 2026 (All Saints) Remembrance and Thanksgiving for our Loved Ones Mary O’Hwrites…. Many people find November a difficult month, those who have been recently bereaved and those who carry the scars from a past painful bereavement.
Most of November we concentrate on remembering our deceased loved ones: - The Holy Souls Novena, the visits to the graveyard, while these are spiritually good for us they make it impossible for people to avoid being revisited by the pain and loss of a loved one.
We hold dear the memory of those who have been a truly significant part of each of us.
The gift of memory and its place within our hearts brings us consolation . Our hearts are warmed by the comfort of others and slowly over time we begin to heal and embrace life once again as our loved ones would wish us to live.
We ask God to heal our pain and sadness as the month of November is a time of Remembrance and Thanksgiving for the lives of our loved ones , no matter how long or short that earthly life was.
Reflection:- Holy Souls are special people Whom from us God did call We are left here broken hearted For we love them one and all.
All we have left is just our memories Of the times when they were near Longing for those precious moments Wishing they were here.
But death is not the end for us It is just an open door where some day we will be with them With more happiness that before.
Once again with all our loved ones All our sorrow it will end In God’s home we’ll be re united Parents, family and friends.
So in this special holy month Remember them and pray Those holy souls our own dear loved ones to God are on their way.
The sky is still as blue, the grass is still as green, the birds sing as sweetly, the flowers have not lost their fragrance, it may not seem so at the moment but slowly it will.

An opportunity to come together and spend some time reading and discussing the Scriptures, followed by prayer.
Everyone is most welcome and we even have a cuppa and chat afterwards as well! ‘Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out .’ How do you describe a generous person?
One explanation is someone who is warm-hearted and who delights in ensuring the happiness and welfare of others.
In Irish there is one single word that sums it all up and it’s to be flaithiúlacht.
There are many examples where God is generous or flaithiúlacht.
In the wedding of Cana, Jesus asks that the jars be filled with water but goes a step further by saying, ‘fill them to the brim .’ In another story a vast number of fish are caught by disciples who had given up on catching any.
The fish are so many that the nets begin to tear, and extra boats are called to help.
God is lavish, generous and flaithiúlacht.
When we think we least deserve God’s generosity is the moment when God is most generous.

Feast of All Saints Today we remember all the saints who share the happ iness of heaven.
We are called to be saints by becoming chil dren of God, by becoming more like our Father.
This is our greatest possible fulfilment.
It begins already, if we ourselves be moulded by the Beatitudes.

Mon - Wed. 9.00am - 12. 30pm We celebrate today the Feast of All Saints, not jus t the canonized, but all those people who have been faithful witnesses to the love of God by living out the message of the Gospel during their life.
We trust that our loved ones, relations and friends are among those who are now enjoying the glory and happiness of being face to face with God.
The saints we celeb rate were men and women like us.
Perhaps we may sometimes think of our departed loved ones as being dead and gone.
But our faith helps us to believe that they are alive now more than ever, bec ause they are now fully alive in God.
The life they now enjoy can no longer be touched by sickness, su ffering, sin, or death.
We thank God for all those whom he has already welcomed to heaven.
During November we pray especially for those who are still being purified in Purgatory knowing that our prayers can help them.
The Second Reading from the First LeƩer of St John, reminds us of the great love of God who already has chosen to call us His children. “What we are to be in the future has not yet been r evealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel, propose to us a way of life, inviting us to be poor in spirit, that is relying on God to help us through life, to identify with the meek, those who mourn, and those who hunger and thirst after justice.
They challenge us to be compassionate people, to be men and women who are in heart, and to become peacemakers in our deal ings with one another, in our families and in society at large, even when this entails ridicule and persecution.
We pray for faith and courage to walk this journey.
The saints encourage us in ourd ay-to-day struggles because like us they also endur ed struggles.
Our Faith assures us that all who respond to the Lord’s invitation to live the life of the Beatitudes will one day hear those welcoming and consoling words, "Well done, good and faithful serv ant, enter into the joy of your Family of Parishes of: Ballincollig | Ballinora | Kilmurry | Ovens and Farran Scan for Website DISCOVERYA faith study as part of the Cork and Ross Diocese faith development Through Discovery you can deepen your daily life with God and learn a new awareness of just who you ar and how you can live.

The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus teaches us that if we live ac- cording to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life.
The Beatitudes fulfil God’s promises made to Abraham and his descendants and describe the rewards that will be o urs as loyal followers of Christ. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the k ingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown me rcy.
Blessed are the clean in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven . Prayer for Vocations Loving God, at baptism you have gifted each of us with a call to serve you and all people in everything we do.
Give us the strength to share your message of love, justice, hope and peace in every part of our Diocese of Cork and Ross.
We ask you Lord, for the gift of new vocations to priesthood in our Diocese.
In your fatherly care, accompany those who are seeking to know your will for them.

THE Sunday RE ADINGS First Reading: Apoc. 7:2-4, 9-14 In commemorating all the saints in heaven, we give thanks to God for the inspiration which their witness continues to give us.
Though not known to us by name, these are the women and menwho showed perseverance and trust in their pilgrim jour ney of faith.
Far from fleeing in the face of challenge, they faced di fficulty with con fidence and hope and now rejoice in God's presence forever.
Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3 John reminds us of our identity as children of a God who is lavish with his gifts.
We are asked to hold fast to the hope contained in God’s promise to us.
As we journey together towards our h eavenly home, we are strengthened in the knowledge that he is with guiding us, perfecting us, preparing us for a destiny which is beyond our wildest imaginings.
Gospel: MaƩhew 5:1-12 The first three words in today's Gospel passage provide with the key to understanding why Jesus climbed the hill and beg an to teach: seeing the crowds .' In the Scriptures, the image of sight is often used to describe not just the physical act of looking at and recognizing someone or something but also — and at a more profo und level — 'seeing' describes spiritual insight.
When Jesus looks at us, he sees as God sees.
He recognizes our need. He speaks words o f life to us.
He enlivens our hearts with hope and he helps us to se that the poor, humble, liƩle ones of the earth are those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven.

They also show us how God wants us to respond to it: with mercy, with peacemaking, with a hunger and thirst for holiness (right living and justice).
The Beatitudes give us a hint of what we pray for when we pray "Your kingdom come.
The Beatitudes are not just for the saints of They are for us today.

Unfolding the Word: What Mark’s Gospel says about discipleship.
An Invitation to our family of Parishes Why not join us on Thursdays 5th 12th 19th and 26th November in the Parish room in Holy Cross Church, Mahon from 7.30 pm to 9.00 pm. An opportunity to come together and spend some time reading and discussing the Scriptures, followed by prayer.
Everyone is most welcome and we even have a cuppa and chat afterwards as well!Today we celebrate the community of faith, being in communion with all the saints, a day of both thanksgiving and vision.
Thanksgiving because of the example and inspiration of the saints, who have come to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. (Eph 4:13).
Vision because our Gospel today describes the path we must take to make the same journey home to God.
If we wish to join the saints both now and into eternity, we must make our own the “mission statement” of Jesus, which is the Sermon on the Mount and especially the opening invitation to true happiness.
Prayer Jesus you are our teacher within and today we ask your help.
Just as you have brought our brothers and sisters to full maturity in you, so also guide us and be with us as we walk your Way.
By your grace, may we too be counted among saints in the present moment and in the life to come.• First Reading (Revelation 7:2–4, 9–14) John sees a vast, uncountable multitude from every nation, race, and tongue, robed in white and standing before the throne and the Lamb.
These are the ones who have passed through trials and washed their robes clean in the blood of Christ. Second Reading (1 John 3:1–3) St. John reminds believers of their present identity as children of God, noting that while what we shall be has not yet been fully revealed, we will be like Him when we see Him as He is.
Gospel (Matthew 5:1–12a) The Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus proclaims true blessing not in worldly power, but in spiritual poverty, meekness, mourning, hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and endurance of persecution.
The blessings in the Beatitudes are primarily future blessings, but there can be an anticipation of the blessings in the present.
At /f_irst reading some Beatitudes may seem to describe circumstances that you would like to avoid at all costs.
Read them slowly. Stay with each one for a while.
Let yourself get a sense of the paradox involved in each one.
Perhaps you have had an experience of a deeper and more authentic life, a blessing, when… 1. You were poor - you knew your need of God 2. You mourned – could feel for others 3. You were meek – not emotionally out of control 4. You hungered and thirsted for some cause 5. You were merciful rather than vengeful 6. You were pure in heart – a person of integrity, whose actions and intentions correspond 7. You were a peacemaker 8. You were persecuted because you stood for something PRAYER All-holy God, you call your people to holiness.
As we keep the festival of your saints, give us their meekness and poverty of spirit, a thirst for righteousness, and purity of heart.
May we share with them the richness of your kingdom and be clothed in the glory you bestow.
Remembering – As we move into the month of November, we will lovingly remember our loved ones who have died. 107 funeral Masses have been celebrated across St. Michael’s and Holy Cross Churches since this time last year. 70 funeral Masses have been celebrated in St. Michael’s and 37 in Holy Cross Church since the start of November last year.
These details give us a sense of the strength of both parishes to prayerfully support one another at the most difficult of times.
At each of these Masses, there is a deep sense of the consoling presence of God and trust in the ultimate power of the Risen Jesus who ‘defeats death forever’. This sense runs very deep and is much more than just sharing our sympathies.
It’s our prayer to accompany those who have died into the eternal presence of God and back into arms of their own deceased family members and loved ones.
So, when we gather during this coming week for the Remembrance Mass, we will be praying, consoling and strengthening the heartbroken.
While this is a sad time, it’s also a beautiful time and that is how we approach November, in hope and new life.
May all those who have died now rest in the peace of the Lord and may we remember them lovingly.
May they rest in peace. - Fr. Michael November Novena for the Dead:

There will be a candle with the name of each person who has died at the back of the church on the evening of the Mass and also some extra candles for anyone who wishes to remember a loved one during this bereavement service.
Cleaning our Church like any building, needs regular cleaning and it has been the tradition in this Parish that volunteers clean the church weekly.
We are grateful to all those who, over many years have generously given of their time to meet this ministry.
We appeal each year for volunteers, (Male and female) but it is a challenge to find parishioners eager to serve this ministry.
The church cleaning task takes one hour on a Saturday morning.
We currently have 2 teams which means each team does one hour every 2 weeks.
If you can help, please contact the parish office.
Thank you. Thursday Coffee Mornings after 10:00am Mass.

Reflection: Lord, Your Love is Eternal You are Lord of all, Lord of the living and the dead, Lord of death, for you died for us; Lord of Life, for you rose to glory.
You are the hope of all the world, That death is not the end, And that in the power of your spirit, We too shall rise with you again.
You are always true to us, And true to your word that your love does not end with death, Nor your compassion with the grave.
Yes, Lord, your love for us is eternal, a love that seeks to save.
For this I thank you. Amen. Confessions on Saturday at 4:30pm or by appointment.

office@glanmireparish.ie Reflection You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
By observing the second commandment you are actually showing that you love God with all your heart, soul and mind.
The two commandments cannot be separated.
Every month when I visit houses, I witness the incredible care which sons and daughters and grandchildren give their parents.
Frequently, this care is given by neighbours and relatives as well.
Invariably at fu- nerals, it is humbling to again witness this compassion from family membe rs, friends and neighbours.
Annually when I witness the second and sixth classes making their First Communion and Confirmation, the children show that they understand showing love to the family and grandparents in a unique way at the sign of peace and at the end of mass.
Parishioners incidentally tell you about how generous and compassion - ate other people are, by visiting people in hospital, working with the Vincent de Paul Society and visiting people in prison.
Yes all of these expressions of keeping t hese commandments happen in this family of parishes.
So today let us thank God, that so many people observe loving God, with all their hearts, souls, and mind and loving their neighbours.

Kilmichael Parish During the month of November, we remember all those wh o have died.
We remember the lessons we have learnt From them and the talents we have inherited from them.
We remember how we loved them and how they loved us and made us what we are today.
We remember their good deeds and determine to be more like them, and finally we pray for those who have died alone with no one to rememb er or pray for them.
We encourage everyone to make a special effort to come to
daily Mass
Feast of All Saints Today we remember all the saints who share the happ iness of heaven.
We are called to be saints by becoming chil dren of God, by becoming more like our Father.
This is our greatest possible fulfilment.
It begins already, if we ourselves be moulded by the Beatitudes.

Mon - Wed. 9.00am - 12. 30pm We celebrate today the Feast of All Saints, not jus t the canonized, but all those people who have been faithful witnesses to the love of God by living out the message of the Gospel during their life.
We trust that our loved ones, relations and friends are among those who are now enjoying the glory and happiness of being face to face with God.
The saints we celeb rate were men and women like us.
Perhaps we may sometimes think of our departed loved ones as being dead and gone.
But our faith helps us to believe that they are alive now more than ever, bec ause they are now fully alive in God.
The life they now enjoy can no longer be touched by sickness, su ffering, sin, or death.
We thank God for all those whom he has already welcomed to heaven.
During November we pray especially for those who are still being purified in Purgatory knowing that our prayers can help them.
The Second Reading from the First LeƩer of St John, reminds us of the great love of God who already has chosen to call us His children. “What we are to be in the future has not yet been r evealed; all we know is, that when it is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel, propose to us a way of life, inviting us to be poor in spirit, that is relying on God to help us through life, to identify with the meek, those who mourn, and those who hunger and thirst after justice.
They challenge us to be compassionate people, to be men and women who are in heart, and to become peacemakers in our deal ings with one another, in our families and in society at large, even when this entails ridicule and persecution.
We pray for faith and courage to walk this journey.
The saints encourage us in ourd ay-to-day struggles because like us they also endur ed struggles.
Our Faith assures us that all who respond to the Lord’s invitation to live the life of the Beatitudes will one day hear those welcoming and consoling words, "Well done, good and faithful serv ant, enter into the joy of your Family of Parishes of: Ballincollig | Ballinora | Kilmurry | Ovens and Farran Scan for Website DISCOVERYA faith study as part of the Cork and Ross Diocese faith development Through Discovery you can deepen your daily life with God and learn a new awareness of just who you ar and how you can live.

The Beatitudes in today’s Gospel are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus teaches us that if we live ac- cording to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life.
The Beatitudes fulfil God’s promises made to Abraham and his descendants and describe the rewards that will be o urs as loyal followers of Christ. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the k ingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown me rcy.
Blessed are the clean in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven . Prayer for Vocations Loving God, at baptism you have gifted each of us with a call to serve you and all people in everything we do.
Give us the strength to share your message of love, justice, hope and peace in every part of our Diocese of Cork and Ross.
We ask you Lord, for the gift of new vocations to priesthood in our Diocese.
In your fatherly care, accompany those who are seeking to know your will for them.
Inspire those you invite to serve as priests and fill them with the courage to answer that call.

THE Sunday RE ADINGS First Reading: Apoc. 7:2-4, 9-14 In commemorating all the saints in heaven, we give thanks to God for the inspiration which their witness continues to give us.
Though not known to us by name, these are the women and menwho showed perseverance and trust in their pilgrim jour ney of faith.
Far from fleeing in the face of challenge, they faced di fficulty with con fidence and hope and now rejoice in God's presence forever.
Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3 John reminds us of our identity as children of a God who is lavish with his gifts.
We are asked to hold fast to the hope contained in God’s promise to us.
As we journey together towards our h eavenly home, we are strengthened in the knowledge that he is with guiding us, perfecting us, preparing us for a destiny which is beyond our wildest imaginings.
Gospel: MaƩhew 5:1-12 The first three words in today's Gospel passage provide with the key to understanding why Jesus climbed the hill and beg an to teach: seeing the crowds .' In the Scriptures, the image of sight is often used to describe not just the physical act of looking at and recognizing someone or something but also — and at a more profo und level — 'seeing' describes spiritual insight.
When Jesus looks at us, he sees as God sees.
He recognizes our need. He speaks words o f life to us.
He enlivens our hearts with hope and he helps us to se that the poor, humble, liƩle ones of the earth are those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven.

They also show us how God wants us to respond to it: with mercy, with peacemaking, with a hunger and thirst for holiness (right living and justice).
The Beatitudes give us a hint of what we pray for when we pray "Your kingdom come.
The Beatitudes are not just for the saints of They are for us today.

Fr. Robert writes… NOVEMBER The Value of Remembering our Dead November is the time of year when we remember our dead - visiting the graveyard where our loved ones are buried or the place where their ashes are scattered, writing their names on the altar list of the dead, praying for them at the Novena of Masses and reflecting on the story of the ir lives.
We call this the ‘Communion of Saints’ - the ninth art icle of faith in the Apostles’ Creed.
A spiritual union exists among the saints in Heaven, the holy souls in Purgatory and the people of God living on Earth.
The Second Vatican Council describ ed our loved ones who have died as ‘our outstanding benefactors’ . They can pray for us and inspire us.
On
Sunday 1st November we celebrate ‘All Saints’ Day’. It is the feast of all the holy women and men of every time and place, praising God in Heaven. On
Monday 2nd November we celebrate ‘All Souls’ Day’. We remember all the fai thful departed.
Remembering our dead these days reminds me that we usually only see death from one side, pain, loss, t ears, grief, a difficult and sad time.
Yet there is another side w hich tells us that death is a friend that takes us to the ‘Father’s house’ where all ‘tears are wiped away’. The darkness of death is no more.
Remembering our dead and reflecting on the story of their lives can help us look at our values and what really matters at the end.

The Solemnity of All Saints invites us to lift our eyes beyond the struggles of daily life and remember the countless men and women who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.
In the vision of the Book of Revelation, John beholds a vast multitude from every nation, race and language standing before the throne of God.
They are ordinary people who remained faithful through trials and now share in the fullness of God's glory.
In the Gospel, Jesus presents the Beatitudes, a portrait of true holiness.
The saints are not remembered because they were powerful, wealthy or successful by worldly standards.
Rather, they were poor in spirit, merciful, peacemakers, and people who hungered for righteousness.
They allowed God's grace to shape their lives.
This feast reminds us that holiness is not reserved for a select few.
It is the calling of every Christian. As we honour the saints, we are encouraged to follow their example, trusting that God continues to lead us along the path that ends in the joy of heaven.

Family of Parishes Newsletter Our Lady Crowned Church St Joseph’s Church & Holy Family Church Gospel Reflection: Be persistent… and patient… Our Gospel today is about persistence… just as the widow in the story pesters the judge until he delivers a just decision we too are called to be persistent.
Persistence in prayer demonstrates that we are not afraid to show our dependence on God even though all around us society says we need be self-sufficient, to look after ourselves.
To keep praying is equally looking after ourselves but also the needs of those around us and the needs of our world.
The widow in the story is concerned about the delay in getting a response, however we must not only must persevere in prayer we must be patient, awaiting God’s time for an answer and accepting the answer even though it may not be one we wanted!
God will always give the right answer to our prayers, even if in the immediate moment it may not seem that way.
Take time to reflect on what have been the fruits of your own persistent prayer?
When you have patiently waited for God’s time and response… Parish Clergy Contact Details Moderator & Co-PP: Fr Charles Kiely Our Lady Crowned Church, Upper Mayfield, Cork.

Family of Parishes Newsletter Our Lady Crowned Church St Joseph’s Church & Holy Family Church
Sunday 1st November 2026 All Saints’ Day 2026 ~ Year A Gospel Reflection Saints… who are they?
I’m sure you can think of many names in answer to that question: Mary, Joseph, Anthony, Carlos, Anne, Teresa, and many more.
These are people whom the Church has declared saints: people whose example we can aspire to follow and through whose intercession we can pray to God.
But is there more to today’s feast? I believe there is.
Saints are more than those whose names we know and whose feast days we celebrate each year.
We are all called to be saints. Yes, we are sinners, but, more importantly, we are sinners called to become saints.
How, you might ask? The answer is in today’s Gospel.
Jesus tells the people of his time that they are blessed in their poverty, their pain and grief, and their quest for peace.
He calls them to offer that same generosity of spirit to those around them.
Living by these words is what leads us towards sainthood.
We all know people who lived these ideals of Christian life every day and who now rest with God.
They are saints who touched our lives, even without an official title.
So, as we celebrate all those who let the light of God shine through their lives into our world, let us pray that we, too, may become saints.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal. The response to our Christmas Shoebox appeal has been very encouraging.
When a person has completed their Shoebox, they can return them to the parish.
Returned Shoeboxes are sent to children affected by poverty in countries in Africa and Eastern Europe.
The closing date to ensure that boxes will reach their intended locations is Nov 10th so that children can enjoy their gifts for Christmas.
Scan the QR code to view a joyous video on how the Shoebox appeal is helping and bringing hope to children affected by poverty worldwide.
THINK ABOUT IT: Getting older, growing wiser.
People you love will die. You will mourn them and miss them terribly.
But you will not honour them by dying before your time.
You are still connected with them in memory and spirit.
Let this connection inspire and strengthen you for living.
A MEMORY OF DAYS GONE BY: An SMA priest who spent many years with us here in Wilton was Fr. Tom Kearney.
One of Fr. Tom’s great contributions to the parish was to introduce us to aquaponics.
Scan the QR code and Fr. Tom will explain to us the story of the introduction of aquaponics to Wilton Parish.
A very interesting story. You will enjoy it!
Feast of All Saints (Cycle Today’s feast of All Saints invites us to celebrate our own folk, to take pride in the saints who have preceded us and who grace our community.
To celebrate with pride is not to be triumphalistic; we can admit the horror stories while still being proud of the numberless people who have remained stubbornly open to the Spirit.
We rejoice in the saints we have known and know: their names are legion.
We bless the Lord for those who attend to the hungry, the orphans, the aged, the outcasts, the overlooked.
We thank God for those who have out smiled the jibes and taunts of oppressors, for those whose whispered prayers have enriched the holiness of us all.
We express our gratitude for those who confront religious pretence, for those who keep on forgiving with an energy that is worthy of God.
For all those people, among us still, we give thanks.
And if you feel thanked in the process, don’t feel confused.
You’re lucky to be part of the same crowd . Sacred Space and The Living Faith.
Copies of Sacred Space 2026 for Advent and Christmas are on sale in the Mass OfÏce. €8 a copy.
And finally, copies of The Living Faith booklet have arrived.
