Twenty Sixth Sunday Year A
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Jesus Christ and members of his heavenly family,
We gather together in prayer and worship, not only for our own well-being and salvation but also to witness to those around us that the way of Christ is the way forward for the world at large. His values are those that really sustain us and can bring strength to the world. Let us live as brothers and sisters, made in the image and likeness of God.

A Catholic's First Saturday Night On Holiday
I wonder how many parishioners will be able to remember the ritual that always seemed to accompany Catholic families on the first Saturday night on holiday in a new place? In those pre-internet days, there was the essential search for the Catholic Church and then the times of Sunday Masses (vigils were not an option.) Holidays were always taken in my formative years in 'the peak weeks' which were the last in July and the first in August. British Rail put on a number of local holiday specials from our station, and this often dictated the choice of holiday towns on offer.
