Dear friends and parishioners

On Friday we celebrated with Fr Andy 40 years of his living out of the vocation of priesthood. This Saturday Lee Robinson becomes a full member of the Catholic Church during Mass at Christ the King. In two weeks 19 or 20 of our young people will be confirmed.

These three events remind us of a phrase we hear much of nowadays – our faith journey. Indeed, we all have to find and make our journey, measured out by such landmarks as these. So, let’s ask ourselves, how is my faith journey? Am I making progress? If not, how can I move on? These and related questions we place before the Lord.

Dear friends and parishioners

We welcome into the church through Baptism this coming Saturday morning at St Brigid’s. Poppy and Mila Mallette, and remember their parents, family and godparents in our prayers. Meanwhile, a week later, during 6.00pm Mass on 3 July at Christ the King, we will welcome an adult into the church, Lee Robinson. He will receive the three Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. Lee has been a regular attender for a good time, and has worked with Ceri Facey-Davies as his catechist. He has offered his services at that Mass since the new ministry started. Please remember him in your prayers as he prepares for this celebration.
