Reflection

Jesus said to his apostles: “Do this in memory of me.”
We all love to be remembered.
This was true even of Jesus.
But if we want to be remembered, we have a duty also to remember.
Memory is a powerful thing, wrongly used it brings death; rightly used it brings life and is a form of immortality.
It keeps the past alive.
Those we remember never die, they continue to walk and talk with us.
Lord, when we celebrate the Eucharist we are remembering you.
May that remembering bring us life here and hereafter.

New Priest

This Sunday, Feast of Corpus Christi, Fr Miroslav Kosiec (Mirek) from Poland, who has just been ordained to the priesthood, and who spent some time here as a brother, is coming to celebrate the 10.30 Mass.

I’m sure you will give him a warm welcome.

Tea and Coffee

Due to popular demand, from this Sunday, Feast of Corpus Christi, tea and coffee will be available at the back of Church after the 10.30 Mass. Another sign of our return to something near normality. Thank you to those parishioners whose generosity makes this possible.
