Reflection
Nowadays, thanks to the security camera, we are often being watched. Watched by a cold dispassionate eye, intent only on catching us in wrong-doing. The feeling that someone is watching us is not a pleasant feeling. But the feeling that someone is watching over us is a lovely feeling. God is not watching us, God is watching over us. The conviction that God is watching over us gives us comfort in times of sadness, strength in times of weakness and hope in times of despair.
Please note there will be no 10am Mass on Thursday 16th June.
New Priest
Next 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 next 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.
Funeral
The Funeral Mass for Owen Ryan will take place here in St James’ on Thursday 16th June at 11.30am. Please keep Owen and his family in your prayers.
