India-Independence Day
After three decades, the Indian independence movement, led by Mohandas Gandhi,
achieved its goal on this day in 1947 as a free and independent India was
established, ending nearly 200 years of British rule.
Have a great day all our Tranmere Indian parishioners!
Our parish St Vincent de Paul Society Conference

this describing Mary?
The
Parish Choir members are saying ‘Hello’.
I have
enjoyed listening to many versions and compositions of songs about Mary and for
the sake of variety have chosen these. I hope you enjoy them.

One thing
that really struck me was the vast predominance of western visualisations of
Mary. We know that is not a true depiction. I was always impressed with the
statue of Mary we used to have in our church, completely copper coloured like the
Stations of the Cross and an apt universal and inclusive depiction. I wonder
where that statue is?
Bits
& Pieces
On Thursday
we had the story of the Homeless Jesus sculpture.
It reminded me of a set of startling sculptures that Sheila and I met in Dublin
when, quite a few years ago, we were lucky enough to visit that city. It showed
people affected by the Irish Potato
Famine. Click on the little photo.
