A number of members of the Society went on pilgrimage 
to Lourdes at the end of August 2009

Of your charity, please pray for 
the repose of the soul of 
Noël Debroy Jones, Bishop

 
sometime Chaplain of the Fleet, Archdeacon of the RN, 
Bishop of Sodor and Man, Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of York 
and Ward Superior of the Society of Mary Ward of 
Our Lady of North Street, York

who died on 28th August 2009

Bishop Noël Jones preaching at the Society of Mary May Devotion, 2005

Jesu mercy, Mary pray.

Unfortunately, the mailing list for the latest AVE has become corrupted, and I am 
sorry to say that some members will have received AVE this time with the correct address 
on the envelope, but an incorrect name. 
I do not know how this happened, and what it was that I did to cause the problem when 
I submitted the mailing list to the printer. Certainly, my checking procedure was wrong.
 
Please note that the copy of AVE for your address is for you to open.

My apologies for all this.

Hopefully, next time I will get it all right!

In the process of dealing with it all, I discover that some email addresses I hold are wrong. 
Therefore, if you are on e-mail, could you please click here to send an e-mail, so that all 
e-mail addresses for members can be updated in the records. 
NB: if you are a Ward Secretary can you mention this in your message so all Ward 
e-mail addresses can be checked.

Have you purchased your copy of the 
new Society of Mary publication:
