A lovely May afternoon at St Charles school

We said the Rosary in Procession, sang our Aves to our Lady, and the May Queen crowned our school statue. Tea and cakes followed. 

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity.

This Sunday there has been a lot to get our head around. I thought it worth posting some reminders of some of the things we have been thinking about.

The three points about the Holy Trinity that we looked at were:

• There is only one God.
• The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is each God.
• The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not the same.

They are set out in this form in the book, “The Trinity: How Not to Be a Heretic” by Stephen Bullivant. You will notice it is available both as a paperback and as a Kindle book.

Here is the Bishop's Pastoral Message about the Retired Priests Appeal.

Lastly, for something a bit more reflective, here is a lovely meditation for the feast we have been celebrating this weekend.

Harvington Hall

Thirty-two parishioners had a lovely day at Harvington Hall in Worcestershire this week. A few miles down the M42 we wondered whether we would get there, as the coach developed a leak in the diesel tank and we had to evacuate. A replacement coach was soon on the way and all was well.

We arrived and celebrated Mass before lunch: some picnicked in the wonderful grounds, and some chose the delights of the tea room.

After lunch we had a guided tour of the house. The Catholic family who owned it sheltered priests during penal times, and the house contains seven hiding places, some of them constructed by St Nicholas Owen.  One of our number was brave enough to venture into one of them.

You can see some  pictures of our day here.
