Friday marks teh feast of St John Plessinton, another of our local Catholic Martyrs who gave his life for the Mass and the Church. "As in the Primitive times, Christians were esteemed Traitors, and suffered as such by National Law, so are the Priests of the Roman Church here esteemed, and suffer such."
From his speech at the scaffold.
A reminder that tomorrow, Saturday 13th, is our Summer Fete, starting at 1pm. The rain keeps getting less likely every time I look at the forecast. But we'll be here anyway. Come along and join us - you can always huddle around the BBQ to keep warm!
