ONE OF THE GRACES which came on the occasion of John Harding’s Requiem
Mass was the remark passed by a visiting priest noticing the spirituality of our parish. That is very good news for any
parish priest and I thank God for you. May I make again St. Paul’s words my own
“ If our life in Christ means anything to you, if love
can persuade at all, or the Spirit that we have in common or any sympathy or
tenderness then be united in your convictions and your love, with a common
purpose and a common mind…..that is the one thing that would make me completely
happy” (Philippians Ch. 2)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PRAYERS Anne and her family would like to say thank you to everyone in the Parish for the love they have
been shown, and for
the cards and the letters you have sent. They have been such a comfort to the
family, but more importantly they thank you for your prayers. Words alone cannot tell you just how much this
has meant to them, so please continue to pray for them.
S.T.Y.L.E. YOUTH CONCERT If you were unable to make it to the
Youth Concert on Sunday - you missed a
fantastic afternoon. We should all be so very proud of what the youth in our
parish accomplished that day, not only did they provide a great couple of hours
of entertainment but they also raised an amazing amount of money
! (with your help of course) and we should be
able to let you know the final total next week. This money will go CAFOD’s rehabilitation of child soldiers in
