We hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend, and also hope that many of you were able to watch and pray along with the coronation ceremony yesterday. The Pope was represented by the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin and by the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain. Cardinal Nichols was also present to join in the blessing. Today (Sunday) please join us in the hall at 1.15pm for the coronation shared lunch. If you are able to bring a dish, please do! Thank you to all the helpers who have worked to make this a special celebration. We had two wonderful First Holy Communion celebrations last weekend - thank you to all involved! Finally, we are greatly looking forward to the Confirmations which will take place on Friday at 7pm in St Mary Magdalen’s Church, Whetstone, with Bishop John Sherrington.

We have moved from the season of Lent and the period of Passiontide and embarking on a new journey, a paschal journey with the early church, and an opportunity to re-discover the meaning of Community. Each year we seem to reach this point either exhausted by the intensity of the past seven weeks or exhilarated, ready for a joyous journey through the Easter season reinvigorated by our shared experiences. The early church could have hidden from view after the traumatic events of the last week but, filled with the spirit of God, they began to build, and so must we. We are faced with many problems but we should follow the example of the early church and aim to build not decline.
