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.

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

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.

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...

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.
