Dear Brothers & Sisters, Refugee Week begins tomorrow, not a popular subject in UK politics today. But Pope Leo insists in Magnifica Humanitas that we of God’s family can never forget that the Holy Family Jesus, Mary & Joseph were once refugees in Egypt. And we must never forget that our earthly home is only temporary. St.Richard (Tuesday) revered in his home town Droitwich where our Sacred Heart Church has beautiful mosaic scenes of his life, became bishop of Chichester. Many today use his prayer: “Day by day O dear Lord three things I pray: To see thee more clearly; Love thee more dearly; Follow thee more nearly day by day” Thursday is the dedication feast of Saint Chad's cathedral. Each Diocese has a day for their own cathedral. St.Romuald (Friday) 11th cent monk from Ravenna was famed as a hermit & sage whose counsel was much sought. Saint Alban (Saturday) our 1st English martyr, was put to death in the Roman town of Verulamium around 305 AD. His story his told by St. Bede. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ Day for Life Fund collection next Sunday (June 21) funds those who work to protect human life (total budget £200k p.a.) … from conception to natural death … How? projects re- life issues.. education workshops ..advocacy campaigns, practical support services… and research. Grants also provide mothers & children with basic necessities of life. Next Sunday is also Father’s Day (June 21) In March we kept Mothers day & we honoured the mothers in our parish. Next week we honour our Fathers on their special day, & grandfathers too, plus those who like St.Joseph have taken on the role of step-father or foster-father or guardian.
