Altar Servers Reunion

This afternoon the parish was host to servers and other young people from the parishes of Orpington, New Addington and Gravesend, as well as our own. Some 40 youngsters attended. My brother Fr Stephen came with his group from New Addingon. Stephen is also the Diocesean Director to the Guild of St Stephen. Fr James Clark came with his group from Gravesend. As well as being assistant priest there he is also on the diocesan Vocations Promotion team. I gave an input on Salvation History using the excellent Evangelium catechetical resource, together with a sheet of questions and points for discussion. There was plenty of time for games. The day ended with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during which confessions were heard, and Mass at 6pm.

Sorry: no pics. Just too busy.

Thanks to all parishioners who helped and to all who turned up. See you at the next one!
