Benedict XVI, OUR Pope
Dear friends
GOOD FRIDAY 2011
On this Solemn Day when we recall and celebrate the Passion and death of our Lord, we do so as Catholics, members of the Universal Church in true communion with The See of Peter. We can now refer to the Holy Father as OUR Pope!!
Our reception and confirmation at the Mass of the Lord's Supper was a humbling and moving experience.
It was wonderful to have Mgr Keith Newton receiving and confirming alongside Fr Gerry!
On such a Holy Night it proved inappropriate to take photographs, especially as not to disturb the vigil watch at Gethsemane. Therefore we shall have a group photo sometime over the Easter celebrations.
Congratulations one and all to all the Southend area Ordinariate members, of Hockley and South Benfleet which total around 90...it's just the beginning. Let's prepare to welcome the second wave!
