Peter Oakley RIP

I have just discovered that Peter Oakley died on 23 March. If you have not seen  any of his videos on YouTube you have missed a treat. He started posting in 2006 and his videos are his reflections and musings on life coupled with some wonderful stories of his youth. His obit is in the Telegraph:

Do read it and look at the video clips.

Strange abduction to the Planet Zog

It is rumoured that the missing plane has been captured by a giant star-ship from the Planet Zog in the Andromeda Galaxy. The plane has been captured so that the passengers and crew can be used for experimentation. It is expected that it will reappear in a couple of weeks time with all the occupants blissfully unaware that anything has taken place.
This sounds rather far fetched; but it makes as much sense as some of the speculation that has taken place in the media. Meanwhile we should pray for the passengers and crew that they are all safe and unharmed.

The Parish Mission - week one is over

Well the first week is over. This was a week of outreach trying to visit all the homes that are registered as belonging to Parishioners. Some have moved away, others are "Resting Catholics", some are regular church goers. We tried to visit them all without fear or favour guided by the team from the Sion Community. Hopefully we will continue with this programme of visits when the Mission is over. It is only by reaching out to people that the Church can hope to make a difference. If we sit back and wait for people to come to us we will slowly fade away.
