Dear Parishioners of St Joseph's & St Charles, |
Another Thank You for the Recent Jubilee of Youth in Rome
Ivane, one of the three young pilgrims from our parish who took part in the trip to Rome, has been on holiday with her family since the pilgrimage but she has kindly written the following while she has been away: Thank you for helping me to get to Rome for world youth day. It was a wonderful experience in which I got to see thousands of young people celebrating their faith with confidence, showing that their belief in Jesus is so strong. I was amazed to be surrounded by so many people and it really touched my heart in a positive way. I was so pleased to have been able to see the Pope, he surprised us with a drive around on the first day, and the excitement was incredible. I loved meeting the young people from all over the world and trading bracelets and chatting about how they live through their faith. This trip has strengthened my faith and helped me to develop my prayer life in a way that I never thought possible. Seeing Blessed Carlo Acutis in Assisi was incredible, when we think of Saints it's always old men that we think of but seeing him made me understand that we are all capable of sainthood. Thank you again for all of your generosity, it is something that I will remember for the rest of my life. Here is this week's triple edition newsletter, and intercessions. Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us. St Joseph, pray for us. St Charles Borromeo, pray for us. With my prayers, Rev. Mark McManus Parish Priest |
