A message from Fr John

Posted on: 10/05/2020

Dear Friends
We had some lovely responses to yesterday’s letter; some great suggestions as to music in time of sadness and especially during these strange days.
Thomas Tallis - good for relaxing and contemplation
Glenn & Ronan
Rachmaninov’s Vespers
The Lark Ascending - good for times of stress
Mike and the mechanics - In the living years
I didn’t really focus on Messiaen but a good old friend dropped off some CDs for me - at a social distance of course  - Relax with the Classics  - they’re for later.
Could you prepare for Mass by reading the Acts of the Apostles 6: 1 - 7
Please remember all of our family, friends and parishioners who are on the frontline
Ian, Joseph, Lisa, Patrick, Chris, Catherine, Anne, Terry, Mark, Theo, Clare, Richard, Anthony, Jane, James, Mary, Francis, Ruth, Andrew
Mass today is 11.00am
Rosary and benediction 3.00pm
Dear St Joseph, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
Any other music suggestions?
