FROM FR TIM:
Archbishop Patrick is celebrating his Golden Jubilee of Ordination and next weekend he has sent us a Pastoral Letter to mark the occasion. As you know we have contributed to the special gift of the Crozier and on behalf of the parish we will also send him warmest good wishes and congratulations.
Confirmation: We have now had successful introductory meetings with the parents and look forward to the unfolding programme with them and their children in the months ahead. Bishop Ralph will be over next weekend for the celebrations with Archbishop Patrick. Remember everyone is welcome to attend the Mass at 3.00pm in the Cathedral on the Sunday afternoon.
Bishop Tom Williams: Bishop Tom will be making a visit to our parish over the weekend of 25/26 February. He will speak at all the Masses and hopes to offer us all a word of support and encouragement. I am sure you will make him very welcome. He will visit the Bishop Eton School on Thursday, 1 March.
Church Heating: I hope you have noticed the marked improvement in the temperature of the church. We are taking advice on how best to run the system and we may have to install some booster radiators to ensure that we can cope with these really cold snaps. We will keep you informed.
