A Celtic Journey with St. John of the Cross
We would like to share with you two beautiful musical reflections in honour of Our Lady and St John of the Cross recorded by Kerrie O’Connor and friends in our Chapel. We vacated the Chapel one afternoon while they did all the hard work!! The first one is available on youtube and the second will be available for the feast of St John of the Cross on 14th December. We hope you will enjoy. https://youtu.be/R2YGDeZ0haE

Sunday Reflection
Saints Peter and Paul 2025
Acts 12:1-11
2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18
Matthew 1613-19
Three weeks ago we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost, the Birth of the Church. In a sense, today we celebrate something of the Reality of the Church. We are inclined to talk about Church in two ways; the Magisterium of the Church and the People of God. Saints Peter and Paul represent both concepts and provide us with a double-sided view of the Reality of the Church.
It is a shame that too often we divide the Magisterium of the Church into slots of ‘Conservative’ and ‘Progressive’. The gift of the Church given by Jesus is a treasure to be conserved and all of it which is good must be protected and conserved. Of course the Church must be ‘Conservative’ but it must move on also. The stability of what has been conserved will give impetus and protection when the Church moves on to cater for the needs of a particular time or people.
