Although we feel slightly in limbo as we wait for Fr. Terry to return from Tanzania we are being looked after very well by Fr. Peter and Fr. Bernard who come from Harrow to say our two Sunday Masses. One of our difficulties as a wide-spread parish has always been that, apart from social functions, we don’t get many chances to meet each other but the contraction in the number of Masses enforced by Fr. Des’s health problems has helped in this regard as we now all attend one of the two Sunday Masses. A new sound system is helping us follow, and better participate in, the services.
The Parish barbecue and golf day, delayed as a mark of respect for Fr. Des, have now been held with their usual success and our on-going charitable fund raising continues as does the Veneration of the Blessed Sacrament on the first Friday of every month from 2pm to 5pm.
