Church Pilgrimage to Walsingham - 12th August 2008

It started out as a very wet and windy day but as we travelled up towards the North Norfolk coast
we chased the clouds away in front of us to enjoy a very pleasant time at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.

When we arrived Fr Yenda celebrated Mass for us in The Holy House at the beautiful Shrine using our familiar
traditional liturgy, then it was off to the canteen for a very pleasant lunch. After nourishment for our souls and bodies
some took time to explore the village whilst others stayed to 'take the waters' during the 'sprinkling service' where many
visitors joined for blessing with the water from the Holy Well (the original sign of where the Holy House should be built).


The gardens at the shrine are most relaxing and many of us spent the remainder of our time in Walsingham enjoying the sunshine
exploring the site and allowing our devotions to be focused by the many lovely icons and images.

St Alban's Day - 20th June 2008

On Friday night a few of us gathered to celebrate Mass on the Feast day of St Alban
the first English Martyr and the Patron Saint of our Diocese.

Trinity III - Sunday 8th June

This morning we were privileged to welcome James, his family and friends for Holy Baptism during the
Parish Eucharist - it is always a great joy when we are able to welcome a child into Christ's family together.

We also had the blessing of some new cruets donated by Fr Yenda and dedicated to his nephew Freddie.
I will endeavour to get some pictures of these in close up, together with close ups of the other 'tools' and
'vessels' used in our services along with explanations as to how they are used in the near future.

Saturday 12th January 2008
During the week someone had a Birthday - as life has officially begun a party was in order.

2nd Sunday in Advent - Sunday 9th December 2007

 
A couple of special Birthdays were celebrated this week, Fr Yenda's Mum
and Sue (who bakes loads of cakes and does a nice line in cream tea's).

A big Birthday and a flaming cake... 23rd March 2007

Today we put our wonderful organist Joan Clark to the test - it would be impolite to say how many
candles she needed to blow out but suffice to say she summoned up enough puff before the cake was over cooked...

A Birthday Surprise 2006

Sunday 3rd of December 2006 - not only celebrating the first Sunday in Advent but
also taking time to wish Fr Yenda's Mum all the best for her impending Birthday - it is a
big one so we all hope she has a great day.
