Mass on Wednesday

During the month of November, we will pray for the Faithful Departed at Mass every day. We will remember especially those included on the November Dead List in Church. Envelopes and sheets for your family’s Holy Souls’ list and your donation to the priest are available at the back of the Church. They can be handed in to the sacristy, dropped into the presbytery or placed in the collection plate. If you are unable to go to the Church, you can email your list of the deceased to whitchurch@cardiffmenevia.org

Baptism Preparation Course The next Baptism Preparation Course takes place at St. Teilo’s Hall on Monday, November 19th and completes on Monday, November 26 th at 7pm. Both sessions will last around an hour. All those who wish to have their child baptised need to attend the course before the Baptism. For further information and to book a place, please contact Cathy and Mel on catherinehopkins45@gmail.com

RCIA – Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults The RCIA programme continues in the Parish Hall at St. Teilo’s on Wednesday evenings at 6pm. Please come along and discover more. Attendance does not commit you to completing the programme but is designed to allow you to reflect on God’s call for you. (The Parish Hall is accessed from the back of the Church building, between the Church and the Priest’s House.)

Parish Christmas Bazaar The Parish Christmas Bazaar will take place in St. Teilo’s Hall on Saturday, November 14th , 11 am - 1.15pm, and also on Sunday November 15th after mass, entry is free. There will be homemade jams and chutneys, hand kitted items, handmade cards, Piety stall, tombola, Refreshments, and more... (please see the poster below)

Walk and Talk Due to the clocks going back this weekend and the darker nights the Walk and Talk group will meet at the earlier time of 2pm every Wednesday at the Scott Memorial Lighthouse Roath Park. If anybody would like to join the group, please contact Carole on 07747 562847.

Can you bake a cake that would make Mary Berry proud? Whip up a jam that would make Paddington Bear smile? Or create chutneys so delicious that even Santa would come back for seconds? If so, we need YOU! We are looking for kind-hearted parishioners to donate homemade cakes, jams and chutneys for our Christmas Bazaar at St Teilo’s. Every donation, however big or small, will help make our bazaar a success. So, dust off your mixing bowls, warm up those ovens and get those preserving pans bubbling! If your culinary talents are more “stir and hope” than “Bake Off champion”, don't worry — shop-bought donations are welcome too! Every jar, every cake, and every contribution is greatly appreciated.  Please let us know if you can help. Together, we can make this Christmas Bazaar a truly delicious success! Please speak to the welcomers after any Mass

There will be no coffee and tea after Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes on Wednesday 28th October due to the earlier time of Mass.

Please note that Mass on Saturday will be at the earlier time of 8.30am. This is to enable Canon to attend an event in Caerphilly later in the morning. There will be no Saturday Morning Confessions this week.
