As part of our Parish Lenten preparation, Fr PJ lead a retreat day for women at Les Cotils this Saturday. Here are some photos.

This evening, a large group gathered for the Way of The Cross by candlelight at the Little Chapel. It was dark and a bit cold, but the still night meant that the readings and reflections in various languages were easily heard. We walked the paths around the Little Chapel, with music led the Delancey Music group, and a Polish song to finish sung by Annetta.

In July Emily Harvey is going to India, with a charity, to help street children. To raise some funds for the journey, she organised a coffee morning.

There were drinks, cakes, and live Irish music.

Emily was asked to do some Irish dancing – and after a flurry of donations totalling almost £50 she was finally persuaded to dance!

Youth team prayer vigil

Back in December, a group of people from across the parish met to work out what more we could be doing for our young people. There were loads of ideas and enthusiasm, and we decided that before doing anything else we start with prayer.

So on Friday night we turned up at Our Lady Star of the Sea for an all-night prayer vigil to pray for the youth of the parish and about what we can do.

We started by watching the youth section of the Alive in Christ CaFE DVD on the big screen in the church, then, after a hot drink and a good chat, started our prayer vigil with candlelit night prayer with Taizé chants, readings and lots of silence. Fr. PJ led a meditation, Christine led us in prayer for specific intentions, and there was some modelling clay for anyone who wanted to try a different way of praying.

By the morning not everyone was still awake, so after rousing the sleepy ones we finished our vigil with some songs before Emily cooked us all bacon sandwiches for breakfast.

Breakfast at Delancey

On the feast of Christ the King on the 23rd November the Delancey Music Group invited everyone for breafast and worship before the 9:30am Mass. It was very early in the morning, but despite that we enjoyed our cereal, toast and chatter and managed to fit in a good few worship songs.
