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.
