Fr Rory Writes:

Thanks be to God.  We had a wonderful evening in Upperchurch for the launch of my Sister Mary’s book “A Mother’s Love”.  A very good night’s music with appropriately chosen themes and passages from the book:  No speeches, just a recitation or two.  The subtitle to the book is “An Angels Wings”.  The moment captured in the song “I believe in angels, something good in everyone”, is at the heart of this book.   Mary’s testimony to her personal experiences brought home, deep consolation and great inspiration for her to grow in prayer, and to become an active witness to our catholic faith.  She has spoken to us before .  I have got some copies, but for the true readers it is available on Amazon.

Unfortunately, I picked up a dreaded lurgy on the flight back from Ireland. I have a very nasty cold, and even though over the years I have become philosophical, three days brewing, three days here and three days going.   I know it will pass.  But sadly bereavement for us remains a constant.  The death of Ann Winter is our recent sadness and our sympathy goes out to John and her family.  Her funeral will take place at St George’s Church on Friday 27th September  at 2.30pm.
