Fr Rory Writes:
Thanks be to God for a special moment of grace. There was an ecumenical service in memory of Judith Kinnison Burke, at All Saints Church in Herstmonceux on Monday. The large church was full to the brim, a tribute to Judith and her commitment to life and faith. She played a large part in “renew” thirty years ago, when she was new to life in our church. The Requiem Mass that was part of the ecumenical service is possibly the first said since the reformation. She was a great friend to many.
Next Tuesday at St Wilfrid’s Church, at 12noon, we will celebrate with a Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of William O’Rourke. This occasion will also have many persons wanting to attend. Car parking is likely to be difficult, so if alternative arrangements can be made, this will be helpful. The Knights have offered to help with parking. Deep sympathy is a prayer that we all make, because of the great loss that Bill is to our church and his family.
