Father Anton's Weekly Column

Third Sunday of The Year A

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This week we focus on the history and significance of our Archdiocese of Brimingham. Why? Because we are remembering special people who have formed our history. Last week we had the remembrance of St Nicholas Owen, a Jesuit Religious Brother, who went around the country building priests hiding holes in large country houses. There are many of them, the most impressive for me have been Harvington Hall and Coughton Court that both house several of these holes.
