From Pope Benedict, in 1986: “Advent’s intention is to awaken the most profound and basic emotional memory within us, namely, the memory of the God who became a child. This is a healing memory; it brings hope. … It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope."
Our Advent penitential service is planned for Monday 20th December, 7:30 pm

POPE’S RECENT COMMENTS: In a book length interview Pope Benedict recently made a subtle but important point concerning a complicated moral situation which has become a more prominent issue in the wake of the rise of promiscuity in the modern world and its awful effects. His words have been very prominently mis-interpreted by the national media as affecting basic Catholic teaching on the marital act. This misinterpretation to do with a widespread mis-perception of Catholic teaching. Please see the white A4 sheets in porch, where we have attempted to explain the situation.
