Corpus Christi

Traditionally this is the 'Run to the Sun' weekend which usually leaves us with great difficulties in getting to Holy Trinity. Despite or in spite of the rain, the Church was almost full for our celebrations. A thoughtful sermon from our ex-footballer Deacon Brian lifted the dampened spirits of those brave enough to make their way to Holy Trinity. Musically we were without Jimmy again (where are you ?) but we managed to get through our celebrations with the addition of Choirboy's Hail Holy Queen and Air I breathe (made famous by Hillsong). Choirboy was even asked by two visitors whether or not we had a CD of our music - perhaps one for the future.

Wonderful world !

In a beatiful celebration today we were witnesses to a number of our young parishioners making their First Holy Communion. It was a double celebration as Sunday is the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity - - our patronal feast. The children looked wonderful and a packed church joined in with our joyful liturgy. Mrs Choirboy is responsible for catechising our new Communicants so it was a special day for the Choirboy family. Thanks to John for 'looking after' the Choirboy boys. Musically we mixed old and new and Choirboy reworked Louis Armstrong's 'Wonderful World' to include some more appropriate liturgical words.Hopefully it was enjoyed by all.

Pentecost

50 days after Easter is the feast of Pentecost - the birth of the Church. Ordinary men transformed by the power of the Spirit. As Father Mark put it, the love of the Father poured out for the Son in the form of the Holy Spirit - a power that can transform our lives today. In the liturgical sense, things are happening thick and fast as next week will be our patronal feast and the day that a number of our young parishioners make their First Holy Communion. Yesterday, was first Reconcilliation (confession to us older types). Mrs Choirboy was in attendance as she and Pat A have been the chief catechists for this group. Mrs Choirboy took over from Pat O'C who thankfully is back with us after her illness. We were also blessed with the presence of Father Baruti from Tanzania to tell us first hand of the impact of Tukae (one of our parish charities). We were able to hear how our small efforts are having a big impact in the Tanzanian Highlands. Finally we were all given gifts of the Spirit as mass ended (pieces of paper distributed by the children). Choirboy's youngest must have been blessed for having cycled over a snake this aftern0on which was quietly dozing, he picked it up not once but twice before Choirboy confirmed to him that it was an adder and that it was well and truly alive ! Phew.....

Confirmation

In an emotional (for the choirboy family) service at St Austell, choirboy's only daughter ( a regular member of our music group) was confirmed at St Augustine's at St Austell in addition to a dozen other young people from St Austell, Newquay, Perranporth and St Mawes. Why St Austell ? Well, it's a long story but in the words of Fred Pontin, you need to 'Book early'. In the beautiful Church of St Augustine (you are very lucky, St Austell people), the music groups of Newquay and St Austell combined to produce a liturgy that illuminated our celebrations and also provided some challenging guitar work for Paul and myself- - Jimmy is holding the fort back home. In celebrating confirmation, Bishop Christopher also reminded us of the importance of the feast of the Ascension and reassured the confirmands that the Holy Spirit would guide them to the Father. He also defined Christianity as being about what Christ stood for and how, with the help of the Spirit we should make this the focus of our lives.
