I haven't been posting here for a while, because I've had a busy type of week, with little time for the computer, and it's not very easy to make posts from the telephone. Phone calls, visits to the hospital, and so on. There was a big funeral on Thursday of one of our regulars, Mrs. S. Rafferty (+), so do please continue to pray for the peaceful repose of her soul. Yesterday's Mass intention was for V. and for Z. P., may they be blessed, and Mass was said today for the repose of the soul of Joe Coleman (+), may he rest in the peace of Christ.
It has been a colourful week, with the feast days of Saint Bonaventure, the great Seraphic Doctor; and of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on Thursday, special for England because of the legend of Saint Simon Stock. Today came the news of the movement of clergy around the Diocese, with particular import for our deanery here in Derby. We will learn about those moves in our parish newsletters this weekend, I believe.
The daily Mass and the daily Rosary continue in the church, albeit with the doors shut and no congregation. We shall be able to proceed further when we have assembled a team of volunteers to help with the sanitisation of the church before and planned opening hours, OR if technology somehow gives us a way of eventually managing without volunteers. If this type of device, for example, could be approved for general use by the authorities, it would be a good thing.
Regular posting will resume soon.
