Dear Brothers & Sisters, St. Hilda (Monday) hosted the 664 AD Synod of Whitby and was a powerful influence in 7th century England. St.Elizabeth of Hungary (Monday) was a 13th century princess like her cousin Elizabeth of Portugal. Like her she too embraced a life of poverty & became a Franciscan tertiary & built a hospice where she personally tended the sick. St.Hugh of Lincoln (Monday) wanted to remain an enclosed Carthusian monk but circumstance made him Bishop of Lincoln in 1200, then the largest Diocese in England. He gained a reputation for defence of the poor & the endangered Jewish community. Dedication of basilicas of Sts.Peter & Paul (Tuesday) is an optional feast but dates back 1,000 yrs, honouring the apostles who are the pillars of the church. Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Friday (not to be confused with the Presentation of Jesus Feb 2) arises from an old tradition outside the Bible that tells of Joachim & Anne presenting their daughter in the temple to be given to God’s service. Presentation Sisters, Acocks Green take their name from this. St.Cecilia (Saturday) an early roman martyr was by tradition a musician and is patron saint of church music. Feast of Christ the King next Sunday, end of the church’s year, is National Youth Sunday, so focus is on ministry to the young, & how we care for them. One of our youth leaders will speak at each mass of KYT, Kenelm Youth Trust, youth ministry arm of the Diocese Meanwhile Advent begins December 1 : In Advent we have prayerful Thursday night reflections in the Day Chapel styled ‘Getting to know Pope Leo’, on the new message of Pope Leo on the love of Jesus in our lives: Dilexi Te. Fr.Austin to share over 3 Thursdays.
