Have you been saved ?


To know how to answer this question you would have to have listened to Father Mark's sermon at 1030 mass. If you asked the question you are probably a regular traveller on the Swansea to London traion service, own a kagool and are a dab hand at making your own sandwiches. Our music today included the kyrie which was sung while Father Mark cooled us with holy water on what was a hot and sultry day in Newquay.

Post holiday post

Regular readers (if there are any) will have noticed the absence of any blog over the last 3 Sundays. Choirboy and his family have been lucky enough to have had a holiday in the South West of France, enjoying wine, sun and great hospitality. I hope visitors to our Church of the Most Holy Trinity feel as welcome as we were made to feel by Pere Emeric de Rozieres, the parish priest of St Emilion. However, it was with great joy that choirboy rejoined the music ministry which has been managed in his absence most capably by Mary and Jimmy. We were reminded by Father Mark of the 'wholeness' of the gospel story and that as Catholic Christians we should attempt to read the gospels through in their entirety on a regular basis -one for Advent/Lent ?
Our choir today was sadly lacking some regulars and choirboy will be endeavouring to find out where they all are. Our liturgy today was hopefully both joyous and reflective of the wonders of our faith. It included a communion reflection composed by choirboy - 'Lord I know that You love me'
