Fr Greg writes: This Sunday is World Mission Sunday, a day of special prayer for the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. In today’s Gospel (Matthew 22:15–21), Jesus reminds us that our faith touches every part of our lives: “Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar - and to God what belongs to God.”
We are called to give God not simply a part of our lives, but our whole selves, and to be witnesses to the Gospel wherever we are.
World Mission Sunday gives us a particular opportunity to pray for those who proclaim the Gospel in places where the Church is growing, often in difficult and challenging circumstances. We pray for missionaries, for those preparing for baptism and for all who work to make Christ known throughout the world.
There will be a second collection this Sunday for World Mission Sunday. I would encourage everyone to support this important collection as generously as possible. Our contribution helps support the Church’s missionary work among communities who are often greatly in need of our practical and spiritual support.
This week we also say a very grateful thank you and goodbye to Jessica Brennan, who has served as our Parish Administrator in New Mills and Marple Bridge. I would like to thank Jessica for all that she has done for our parishes, for her hard work, commitment and support. We wish her every happiness for the future and assure her that she will remain very
much in our prayers.
On Sunday 1st November, the Feast of All Saints, we shall have the traditional Blessing of the Graves after all Masses. In preparation for this, we will be holding a graveyard clearing morning at Marple Bridge on Saturday 24th October, from 9.00 am to 12 noon. As we did last year, we invite parishioners to come along, bring your own gardening tools, and work together to tidy and prepare the graveyard for the blessing. Many hands make light work, and it is a good opportunity for us to care for and prepare this special place. We hope as many people as possible will be able to come along and help.
This year’s theme for World Mission Sunday, ‘One in Christ, united in mission’, marks 100 years of supporting missionaries in sharing God’s love worldwide. Please support Missio’s collection today. Ways to donate: You can use a Missio envelope, available at the back of church, donate via the contactless machine at the back of St Annes's, call 020 7821 9755
during office hours, or donate online at https://missio.org.uk/
CATECHIST FORMATION - The Diocese is offering 3 courses about being a catechist: if you are interested in being a catechist, or are just starting out, or if you have been a Catechist for a long time, there is a course for you. All courses are on Zoom on Thursday evenings, with the first course, Encounter Catechesis, exploring four big questions about the foundations of catechesis, from Thurs 5th Nov. Please email formation@dioceseofnottingham.uk for info.
THE VISITING GROUP will meet in the Hardwick Room, Parish Community Centre, at 2:00 pm on Monday 19th October. We are a group of nine parishioners who visit those in our parish who can no longer attend Mass. The informal meeting, with tea and biscuits, will last about an hour. Anyone interested in becoming a visitor is very welcome to join us. If you know someone who would appreciate a visit, please contact Fr Greg or Iris Thomson (Buxton 26406), or come along to find out more!
CHILDREN’S LITURGY GROUP – Thank you to our Children’s Liturgy leaders for the time, care and commitment you give each week; your contribution is greatly appreciated. Visiting children are always welcome to join us in the sessions. Children under six years of age must be accompanied by a parent, carer or responsible adult. Parents and carers of children who attend regularly need to complete a parental consent form, if they haven’t already done so; please ask the group leader for a form. Thank you all for helping to make Children’s Liturgy an important and welcoming part of our parish community, opening God’s Word to our younger children in a way that helps them understand and grow in their faith.

SEASONAL RAFFLE: Once again, I’ll be organising a seasonal raffle to help raise funds for transport to Walsingham. This year, I'll be putting together a Christmas food hamper and would be very grateful for any donations you might be able to offer. Your kindness and generosity have helped make the raffle such a success in previous years. Thank you so much for your continued support! Please give any donations to Deacon Don or Margaret Swift. Many thanks, Jacqui
COFFEE MORNING - SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER. Join us after Mass for coffee and cake, with all proceeds going to Blythe House Hospice. It costs approximately £2.3 million each year to keep the hospice’s services running, with 70% of its income coming from the generous support of the local community.

YEAR 6 PARENTS: SECONDARY SCHOOL APPLICATION DEADLINE - Children born between 1st September 2015 and 31st August 2016 will start Year 7 in Sept 2027. Applications must be submitted to your home Local Authority by 31 October. If applying to a Catholic school under a Catholic faith criterion, you must also complete the school’s Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and send it directly to the school, along with any required evidence, e.g. your child’s Baptism certificate.
