Halloween

One or two concerned parents have been asking what observance of this so-named day is appropriate. The world of course means Vigil of the feast of All Saints. So the best observance would be joining the vigil mass at 7.30pm on Thursday. Not the most popular suggestion with children, no doubt. Masses on Friday, Feast of All Saints 10am at Chigwell and St Thomas, and 8pm at St Thomas.
