The Parish and Covid
Yesterday afternoon we
learnt about the situation in our parish. (See yesteday’s blog)
Karen and Fr
Roy were both struck down by the virus. Hopefully at Mass today we will learn
more about the implications. My understanding is that there will not be any
Masses celebrated during the week days.
We will
keep Karen and Fr Roy in our prayers.
Update –
Visiting priest, Fr
Gavin Small, celebrated Mass with us today. He had a busy day and was due
elsewhere after Mass. To keep things simple and quick there was no music. However,
Fr Gavin’s homily was refreshingly affirming. Chair of Parish Council, Alan
Tyson, spoke at the start of Mass to explain the current Covid situation. All
being well Fr Roy and Karen will have recovered by Monday January 24. Meanwhile
the office remains closed and there will not be Mass on weekdays.
Just a few
thoughts
·
We
pray for family life, that as we continue to reflect on Pope Francis’ letter on
Family Life and Love, the miracle at the wedding feast will be a source of
encouragement for many, and where necessary, of healing.

May
the citizens of the world’s democratic states cherish their freedoms and put
their rights at the service of the common good.
