As mentioned over weekend masses:  “Let it Be Done Unto Me”: This Thursday we begin the Café course “Let it be Done Unto Me”. This will be a series of five talks each Thursday afternoon, taking place in Our Lady’s Parish Hall at Shipston (Darlingscote Road, Shipston-on-Stour,  CV36 4DR) commencing at 2.00pm and ending at 3.30pm. I am hoping that having it in the afternoon will enable those of you  who would not attend at night will be encouraged to attend. The talks will be focused on Our Lady and “How Mary helps us to be filled with God” and I am  encouraging you to attend as part of your Advent Journey and in Preparation for the feast and season of Christmas Fr David Tams. 21st November- Chosen by God, 28th November -The First Disciple, 12thDecember- Queen of Heaven, 5th December-Mother of All, 19th December -Help of Christians.
