...and a happy evening at the Church of Our Lady and St Michael...

...in Uxbridge, with parish priest Fr Nicholas Schofield, some lovely Brigettine sisters from Iver Heath, and a wonderful team of friendly parishioners!

This really is a super parish...just had a Bl. Sacrament Procession with the parish school, children strewing flowers etc...the parish hall had a big display of pics of a pilgrimage to Rome...and pics of all  the chldren making their First Communion this year...and there was freshly-brewed coffee and a lovely cake, and a wonderful welcome...

Topic for the evening was "Celebrating feasts and seasons" and we had a good time exploring saints and festivities, ending up with a discussion on celebrating the feast-days of  our patron saints, and honouring our baptism anniversaries, and more...

And then after a delicious supper, I was driven to Heathrow, where I am writing this, ready for the flight to Munich tomorrow (Sat) to work on a big project about beloved Pope Benedict XVI in Bavaria...
