Pictures of the LMS Pilgrimage to Glastonbury

The LMS Pilgrimage was held on Monday 8th September 2014 to celebrate the birthday of Our Lady. The Mass was celebrated by Fr Bede Rowe, this being his last Mass for in the Clifton Diocese for the foreseeable future and we are very grateful to him for what was a lovely Mass.  We are also grateful to Fr Finan for granting permission for the Mass to take place in his parish church of Our Lady of Glastonbury.  It was unfortunate that the Mass could not be held in the Lady Chapel in the Abbey grounds, but this was due to the Lady Chapel being renovated.

Fr Bede gave a thought provoking homily about Our Lady's birthday and how by celebrating it we as humans can identify with the human aspect of Jesus through his relationship with his Mother and also through our own maternal relationships.

After the Mass we had lunch in the parish hall, which was well attended and thanks to Kim for providing the use of the hall and tea and coffee.

 

Pictures of Farewell Party for Fr Bede Rowe

After the Mass there was a farewell party in the Church Hall where a delicious array of food was laid on along with a special 'Farewell Cake' made by Sara Harvey-Craig.  Sara presented Fr Bede with a card signed by all who attended the Mass.  Fr Bede can be seen wielding a large sharp knife in what looks like a menacing fashion, but he was in fact merely blessing the cake!

The High Mass at Dursley, to say farewell to Fr Bede Rowe was well attended with about 40 people in the congregation.  Fr Bede was the Celebrant, with Fr Alex Redman as Deacon and Fr Andrew Goodman as Sub-Deacon.  It was a lovely Mass with the St Dominic's Schola providing spiritually up-lifting music.

 

Ely to Walsingham Pilgrimage

From August 26th to August 28th there will be a pilgrimage from Ely to Walsingham, on the pattern of the Chartres Pilgrimage. Fr Redman was the chaplain last year, and Fr Bede Rowe has the honour of filling his boots this time.

Fr Bede hopes to get a few together from the parish so we might travel to Ely together. If you're interested then please get in touch. The parish email is stgeorgeswarminster@hotmail.co.uk
