October 28 was when the group’s Rosary recitation was held at the Talanay Residence. Juliet Talanay led in the prayers which were followed by a sharing facilitated by Pietro Albano. The topic focused on “What makes a good community?”; an appropriate topic as the Church remembered that day Saints Jude Thaddeus and Simon, Apostles of Jesus. Outstanding answers were noted such as “good leadership”, “unity of members”, “treating each other with respect”. Pietro encouraged members to read the first few chapters of the Acts of the Apostles to see how the early Church community worked. As a sign of unity, all participants held hands as they have done in previous Rosary recitations to say the Lord’s Prayer. They later walked to the Senir Residence on Berwick Close where the image was welcomed by Anna Senir.
The following night, Pietro announced that the Rosary will be offered for all the faithful departed since there are no Rosary recitations in November. He also informed members that a Filipino Chaplaincy in the East Midlands has recently been created. Fr Mariano Tarrosa, newly appointed Chaplain, will be saying Mass for Filipinos at the Nottingham Cathedral on 12th December 2010 at 6.00pm.
The Rosary was led by Anna. Members later discussed “As a Christian, what is your perception of death?” Stories were retold regarding the loss of a loved one and how members moved on full of hope in the Risen Lord. A Special Petition for the Holy Souls replaced the usual Petitions. The image was later brought to the Sulits; a stone’s throw away from the Senirs.
