To mark the year of St Paul, we celebrated his conversion today. Normally this liturgy is held on a weekday, but the church has suggested it could be used on a Sunday to emphasise the importance of Paul this year. Father Ted spoke about Christian unity, its importance and how it is not an option but a necessity. He also spoke about conversion, and how a Hindu he had known had been affected by reading a passage from St Paul.
It's been a busy week in the parish with the parish-in-council deciding on a busy programme to mark the jubilee (50 years) of Sacred Heart parish. A leaflet will be issued shortly listing all the events that are being planned. There will be a mixture of reflection, action and celebration - so something for everyone hopefully.
On the subject of celebration, today is a special day for one of our youngest parishioners - Holly Rebecca Francis will be baptised at 1pm on Sunday and, judging by the size of the drums being taken into the church, it promises to be a lively service!
Father Ted is asking for volunteers to join a small group to put on services at the Hospital of St Cross. The parish has been asked to prepare three services this year.
