Fourteenth Sunday Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I returned on Friday evening following a meeting with my Congregation of Priests and Brothers. As we were making plans for the future witness and work of our Fathers and Brothers we met on a day of celebration for our Indian members. It was on the Feast of St Thomas, the apostle, a very important day for all our brethren from India who support our work here in England. St Thomas, the apostle was a pioneer for the spreading of the faith in Indian and is very much loved and venerated. Happy Feast of all our parishioners who hail from various parts of India!
