WHAT A WEEKEND FOR ANNIVERSARIES!

Two more celebrations in Lymington on Saturday. Fr Danny celebrated 28 years as a priest. He told us he chose this day for his ordination because it was the anniversary of the death of his grandmother, who was responsible for him keeping the faith. There's something to inspire those of us who are grandparents! 

The same day Fr Edwin celebrated fifty years of service in the Christian ministry, more than forty-nine years of it in the Church of England. So Pat made a second cake for him and Jane. We wish this popular couple many happy years in their new life with us, and hope that Fr Edwin will be able to continue his Catholic ministry with us and with the Ordinariate for many years.

  



Fr Edwin kindly agreed to pose for us in the distinctive chasuble adopted by the Ordinariate, which he wore at Mass that day.

Yet more cake? Very much deserved by both Father Danny and Father Edwin, and warmest wishes to both of them.
I'm sure there'll be another apres-mass celebration next time I'm in Lymington: you guys really appreciate confectionery.
