Priest’s Letter July 2022

From The Parish Priest

Dear friends,

It was such a joy on every level to celebrate with you in the various Platinum Jubilee events that have been organised across our local communities.

Her Majesty’s amazing achievement, combined with a two-year deficit in gathering together made all our Jubilee events eagerly anticipated and much enjoyed by all of us.

Celebrations such as these are one-time expressions of what makes us tick as villages and communities, and reflect the community action and activity that takes place day by day.  This community activity needs to be fostered continually, and as we approach the summer, let us all recommit to being good neighbours to each other so that the community spirit that was reawakened and noisily celebrated across the Jubilee weekend may continue to flow in the DNA of our community life.

Jesus commands us to love our neighbour. This is not always easy and can sometimes be hard work, but the result of working to love our neighbours, bears abundant fruit which gives glory to God and makes our communities a great place to live.

With love and prayers

Philip
