Holy Mass on the occasion of the Day of Confraternities and of Popular Piety, 5 May 2013



 "Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is brave of you to come here in this rain … May the Lord bless you abundantly!
As part of the journey of the Year of Faith, I am happy to celebrate this Eucharist dedicated in a special way to confraternities: a traditional reality in the Church, which in recent times has experienced renewal and rediscovery. " Pope Francis 

This New Evangelization is a constant part of the driving force in reform, we are trying to implement the tenants of Vat II but it not a short term fix.

Mass learn Latin Latin booklet to follow the Mass With Seqilla Christii the use of media is indescribable when it means you cannot get to Mass you can follow the Latin with the booklet It means you can concentrate more without distractions of other people shuffling about or coughing.  If you have a disability you can use technology not for entertainment but education.

Lent reflection Mark Baird 2018

Dear Brothers and Sisters, This lent 2018, I delved deep into one of my faults, presumptuousness. I have been going to the monestary to do my usual solitary deep thinking, really called contemplation, if you walk with Jesus and relate your experiences with the Gospels and love the Celtic cross meditation walk next to the guest house. So I started raking the paths, pruning the hedges and started doing 'work' in the verge garden. This action started a conflict that is causing disharmony and not the path St Benedict wanted. I have only started reading O' Connell on the Vows and Obedience is very hard to understand.
