On another political note I met with Mr Geoffrey Robinson and his agent Ed Ruane. They called to the presbytery last Friday. He affirmed his support of our schools and parishes and our Catholic way of life and said he was anxious for people to know this. I did express our strong concerns about his voting for abortion when it is so worrying to us. He said he was now very aware of our views. I hope this will help establish more consultation with us in the future. Copy of letter sent to Geoffrey Robinson (.pdf)

Visit to  Barber Institute to see Gwen John painting. 
Taken from Barber website "Gwen John’s move to Meudon in France in 1911 marked the beginning of fundamental changes for the artist, in both personal and artistic terms. In about 1913, John was received into the Roman Catholic Church, and, in that year, was commissioned by the nuns in the town’s convent to create a portrait of their seventeenth-century founder, Mère Poussepin. This first commission developed into requests for five more versions — one for each room of the convent. In this exhibition, the Barber’s own version of the portrait—one of the most popular paintings in the collection — is reunited with other versions of the picture. These are complemented by a series of drawings showing women, orphans and schoolgirls in church, as well as sketches of nuns, priests and a cardinal — and even the Pope himself. With loans from Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales, Tate and Southampton City Art Gallery, it explores the development of the artist’s portrayal of single female figures, the growing importance of her drawings from 1910 onwards, and the inextricable links between her work and her new faith."

Picture from 28/5 sermon:
 

Thh Holy Family of the little bird. Bartolome Esteban Murillo was born in Seville, Spain in 1617, where he lived until his death. Murillo founded a prestigious painting acadamy in 1660 which he presided over with great ability. His vast production of paintings, for the most part, are of a religious nature and theme.  However he also painted scenes of children and many precise portraits. Murillo's influence in Spanish painting, even more in Sevillian painting, was perpetuated until the 19th century. Even now he is still considered a great universal master. link

In July 2006  we welcomed 12 members of the Legion of Mary from Gozo, Malta to our parish. This included Fr Joseph and Fr Saviour and 10 co workers. They worked hard to gather information for our Parish census. They visited half the homes in our Parish in ten days, approximately  6000 . Their hard work will be very valuable to us and help us to update our census and find people who would like to be involved in the life of the parish.
