2008 sees the introduction of a Fair Trade stall to our parish, beginning in Fair Trade Fortnight on Sunday, February 24th.

Fair Trade means that the growers/producers in developing countries obtain a stable price sufficient to sustain and improve their farm or business and to give their families a better future for example by being able to afford to send their children to school.

Often this involves small family businesses banding together to form co-operatives to sell and export their goods. If these businesses employ others they must pay them a living wage and not exploit them.

For the four Sundays of Advent we had Eucharistic Adoration in the church, on Sundays from 1.30pm to 5.30pm, finishing with Benediction. (Don't worry if you don't know what Benediction is, neither did I!) Suffice it to say that many people, wishing to deepen their encounter with Christ rather than spending the lead up to Christmas mired in consumerism, found the time to come to church and spend time in silent prayer before the Lord.

There can be few better Lenten devotions than taking time away from our usually frenzied schedules and sitting in the presence of Christ. However, to do this, we need to ensure that there will be someone present at all times. Therefore, for Eucharistic Adoration to take place, we must have all the slots on the rota filled. You will find it on the table in the church porch. If you have a spare half hour, please sign your name to one or more of the places on the schedule.

In the early days of the Church there were, of course, no churches in which to celebrate Mass. Instead, Christians heard Mass in their houses, and if you would like connect with that strand of Catholic experience, please speak to Fr Damian. During Lent he will celebrate, on Fridays at 8pm, Mass in a parishioner's house, for your family and your neighbours and friends.
