A novelty?

No. You have been progressively taking over more and more. A couple of examples: This week a most impressive survey has appeared about the course of preparation for Confirmation in the parish. You have planned and executed an exercise of huge value to this year’s candidates for this sacrament. New ways of home-based preparation for First Communion – and all subsequent communions –has pioneered teaching in a setting much better than school or mass-teaching in Becket. If you look at all the services of our parish – social, caring for health of mind, body, emotions and spirit you see a wide range. Then there is caring for poor, sick, lonely, bereaved that you cover with quiet perception and generosity.
