Dear Brothers & Sisters, Saints Peter & Paul are 2 pillars of the early church, who stand for 2 traits we hold in tension to be true to ourselves. Firstly we must be faithful to tradition (Peter) while secondly we must always reach out to others who may seem strange, & question our tradition (St.Paul) The first martyrs of Rome (Tuesday)were not famous, but simply faithful men and women who gave their lives for the sake of the gospel St.Oliver Plunket (Wednesday) 17th century bishop of Armagh worked to strengthen the Irish church in time of persecution. Hung in London on July 1st 1681, the last martyr of Reformation times. St.Thomas (Friday) is famously recalled as ‘doubting Thomas’ when Jesus rose from the dead. Like us today he wanted proof! He later became the apostle of the East travelling through Syria, Iraq & to India where strong ancient tradition connects him to the founding of local churches. He gave his life for Christ’s sake at Mylapore near Chennai, and is honoured today as patron saint of India. St Elizabeth of Portugal (Saturday) was a Franciscan tertiary like St.Elizabeth of Hungary her aunt. With similar history of service of the poor, her image is in our church in the Franciscan side altar. ============= Mass on Thursday 10.15 will actually be a communion service as the SCJ community will be engaged holding a Vicariate Assembly all day on Thursday. Mass on Friday at 10.15 is offered on the 50th wedding anniversary of Jane and Peter Farrell. Jane, who passed away 2 years ago, was parish secretary and weddings secretary at The Friary for many years. This offering is a thankyou to God for her years of loyal service
