My Dear Friends,
It's wonderful to be able to welcome back to the parish Fr Edward Obi who is looking after things whilst I am away on holiday.
In many ways Fr. Edi, who will be here until early July, is no longer a visitor but a much loved member of our community. As such I do hope that you will be able to offer him some hospitality whilst he is in residence? I shall, of course, be thinking of you all and will remember you at Our Lady's shrine in Gozo.
No doubt you are wondering about the logo in the centre of the 'paper copy' of the newsletter? Let me explain.
Last Friday, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, Pope Benedict XVI launched a special 'Year for Priests.'
It must be a year that is both positive and forward looking in which the Church says to her priests above all, but also to all the Faithful and to the world, that she is proud of her priests, loves them and recognises with gratitude their pastoral work and the witness of the their life. Priests are important not only for what they do but also for who they are.
May this year be an occasion for a period of intense appreciation of the priestly identity, of the theology of the priesthood, and of the extraordinary meaning of the vocation and mission of priests within the Church and in society.
Finally please note that the annual "Peter's Pence" collection to aid the charitable works of our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI will be taken up next weekend.
God Bless.

"THE WESTMINSTER RECORD"
"The Westminster Record" is still available in the church porch. An extra 50 copies are on sale in the church porch. Please remember that if they do not sell, which would be a great shame, they will be discontinued.
