FR DAVID WRITES
Thank you to everyone who joined in our day of prayer for the parish last Friday. It was a lovely way to celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am also grateful to those who joined in from home and who prayed for us even if they are not able to come to church. Thank you to Fr Josh for his homily at the Mass on Friday. Finally, Bishop John Sherrington has written to say thank you for the warm welcome he received in the parish two weeks ago. He says it was a joy to celebrate the school’s anniversary and Confirmation Masses, and he sends his thanks and best wishes to all involved. He asks that we continue to pray for the Christian people in Nigeria after the recent attacks they have suffered.
