Rajasthan Challenge

I would like to thank everyone who supported my recent Rajasthan Challenge. I raised a total of £ 5442.82 (incl. Gift Aid) for the Cot Death Charity FSID to commemorate Damian’s 21st birthday and survived the 5 day trek in India without aching legs, blisters, sunburn or upset tummy. India is a country of many contrasts and I would be happy to share my photos and experiences. Thank you anyone who contributed in any way – Ann-Maria Loughman.

Migrant Workers’ Mass : 1st May

At 9.45 a.m. on Monday, 1 May the Cardinal will preside at a ‘Mass for Workers’ at Westminster Cathedral to celebrate the place of migrant workers in London parishes. This is a recognition that recently our congregations been swelled by growing numbers of migrant workers arriving here in search of work. Many are from Catholic countries, e.g. Poland, Brazil and the Philippines. These migrant workers need us to stand alongside them in their need for justice and pastoral care. The Mass will reflect the diversity of London’s migrant communities in the readings and music. The Mass is on a public holiday; you are very welcome, especially if you have recently arrived in London.

25th Anniversary

On 23rd May I shall be celebrating my 25th anniversary as a priest. There will be a Mass of Thanksgiving here in the Church on Friday 19th May 2006 at 7.30 pm. This will be followed by a Reception in the Hall and Coffee Lounge. For this occasion of both thanksgiving and joy, I would very much like if as many parishioners as possible would come along and join me in this celebration of priesthood.

Fr Michael

God our loving Father,
