It's Gaudate Sunday - it's an exortation to 'Rejoice'. Why ? Well the answer lies in the fact that very shortly we will be celebrating the birth of Jesus and the wait is nearly over. Deacon Brian talked to us today about Jesus in our midst - would we recognise Him. I suspect not unfortunately.
Today was a day of firsts for the choirboy family as Choirboy minimus made his debut on the alter and Choirboy minor third joined the music group with his guitar. The normal choirboy bench was looking very spartan with only choirboy minor one left during the homily as Mrs Choirboy was taking the childrens' liturgy. Muscially it is clear that the congregation are still learning the latest Mass setting but we will plough on. Friday saw carols at Trerice (an Elizabethan Manor House) which was by all accounts a great success.
