“Grief is a very personal journey; there is no easy route through it. Praying for the dead is an important part of our Catholic tradition. Fr Gregory presides at Mass in St Edwards, Kettering, remembering all those who have died in the parish this year.

Our Church asks us to remember in Catholic Social Teaching our "Preferential Option for the Poor" lets look at ways that we can respond to that as we move into Advent. Thank you to Perryn, Spiritual Director for leading our community this hour

Pausing to reflect at this time of day, if only for a few moments, can feel very restorative, as we near the end of our work week or are perhaps at home with tired children. With thanks to Martha Ugwu, Friend of @OLICATschools for leading us.
