Thy Glorious Resurrection: Renewing God’s House
In every generation, God’s people have to make sacrifices to see to it that what they have been left by previous generations is not only conserved, but improved upon. Twelve years ago, that meant installing a new organ, which now rings out every Sunday and more often too. In our time, it means new stained glass, air conditioning to make our church welcoming, and the start of a roof fund to make sure our church is protected from the elements. These are primal things: keeping the church safe from the elements is most necessary. Welcoming guests and making them comfortable is a biblical imperative. And windows, which allow us inside to see God and His Story, also allow others, who may never have considered entering this church, to see in.

October 2016 Pascha Nostrum
The first Sunday of the month is the occasion for the blessing of animals, and this year it is 2nd October, the Feast of the Guardian Angels. I hope you will help make this known to your friends, colleagues, neighbours and others and join us for the occasion, which takes place after High Mass outdoors, if the weather is clement. If you have no pet as part of your lives, it may seem as though this event is of little or no importance to you. Such is not the case! If you have attended the reception on the street after church that day, you will know that this is a very well attended event by those in our neighbourhood, often by as many as 300 people.
