Thought from Fr. Colm -25th October 2026

Our thanks to Stanley Bethapudi for a fascinating workshop on meditation, and healing powers of the breathing and physical exercises. In an age of bombardment of the senses and the gym culture , it was so interesting to see and hear how this can be counteracted. With three young doctors present at the session, we were given access to medical opinion that would cost an arm and a leg elsewhere. 

WhatsApp groups have provided an excellent means of communication for the various parish groups. I hope those who struggled with accessing a group have succeeded, and those no longer members of a group, have successfully exited. If struggling with either, I’m sure some of our tech wizards can assist.

I’m sure some of you are aware that Audrey Lane has been struggling with poor health for some time. Sadly, Audrey is having to step back from her role as sacristan . Can I ask those who generously stepped into Audrey’s shoes, please continue as I try to put a more permanent plan in place. Thanks.
