News & announcements

Notices from the parish office. Announcements are also read at Sunday Mass and posted on the notice board.

The entries below are examples showing the format. Replace them with real notices as they arise — each one is a single block of HTML that can be copied and edited. Instructions are in docs/CONTENT-TODO.md.

Sample — late August

Novena begins in preparation for the parish feast

The ten days feast leading to our parish feast on 8 September will begin with the hoisting of the flag on the kodimaram on 29 August. Novena prayers, sermon and Mass will follow each evening, with one day offered by each anbiyam. All parishioners are warmly invited, and families who have moved away are especially welcome home for the feast.

Feast programme

Sample — early September

Car procession on the eve of the feast

The statue of Our Lady of Health will be carried in procession through the streets of Muthamizh Nagar. Residents along the route are requested to keep the way clear and, if they wish, to light their doorways as the procession passes.

Sample — June

Catechism enrolment for the new year

Parents wishing to enrol children for catechism may give their names at the parish office after Sunday Mass. Please bring the child’s baptism certificate. Volunteers willing to teach are also needed — please speak to the parish priest.

Anbiyam prayer meetings

Basic Christian Community gatherings continue in homes across the parish this month. Please check the notice board for your street’s day, time and host family.

Communion for the sick and housebound

If you know of anyone in the parish who is ill, elderly or unable to come to church and who would welcome a visit and Holy Communion, please let the parish office know. Nobody should be overlooked because they cannot come to us.

Photographs wanted for the parish website

We are building a photo gallery of the church and of parish life. If you have good photographs — especially of the interior, of past feasts, or from the parish’s early years — please share them with the office.

Keeping up

How announcements reach the parish

At Sunday Mass

Notices are read out at the end of each Sunday Mass — still the way most of the parish hears things first.

On the notice board

The board at the church entrance carries the week’s notices, the anbiyam roster and the feast programme.

On this page

Notices are posted here as they are issued, so that parishioners living away can follow what is happening at home.

Something to announce?

Notices for the bulletin and for this page should reach the parish office before the weekend.
