Sadly due to another commitment I was unable to speak to those of you who attended our October Day this past Sunday. Our motto, as some of you know for the new year October 2008 to October 2009 is:

Called and gifted

Originally we had planned our next Get-together on 1st November however I’ve “doubled-booked” and therefore would like to invite you a week later to our Day on Saturday 8th November. I apologies for this changed date. At this Get-together we would like us to further reflect on our new motto.
We start our day at 10 am with refreshments. This will be followed by Moments of Thanksgiving recording the little daily “Miracles” our Pilgrim Mother has achieved this past year as she moves around homes and families.
Later will follow a Reflection on the motto, Holy Mass at 12 noon, a lunch of soup and rolls and later time in the Shrine for prayer, concluding with Adoration, Benediction and Re-commissioning of you as a Coordinator and blessing of our Pilgrim Mother Icon
Please note – this day is open to all involved with our Pilgrim Mother not just yourselves as Coordinators.
And don’t forget the Pilgrim Mother at home! See you soon. Blessings from the Shrine – our home!

For catering purposes, it would be nice if you could let me know whether you are coming or not and a voluntary donation to cover costs would be gratefully received. Thank you.
