29th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Father Mervyn presided at today’s well-supported Parish Mass at which Father Martin concelebrated, read the Gospel and preached. Our Intercessions were led by Pamela. In his sermon Father Martin asked the question “what does the year 313 mean to us.” Several people offered answers but it was Eve who correctly said it was the year Constantine became a Christian. Father then gave a potted history of what happened subsequently and explained how today, all these years later, we should be grateful for his conversion leading to the spread of the Christian faith.

Yesterday’s Saturday Shop took £190
