Week of July 31th
Fr Aidan Peter Writes:

While Fr. AP is away, he has chosen this passage for you to enjoy:


Dream Church


This is the Church of my dreams-
The Church of the warm heart,
Of the open mind,
Of the adventurous spirit;
The Church that cares,
That heals hurt lives,
That comforts old people,
That challenges youth;
That knows no divisions of culture or class;
No frontiers, geographical or social
The Church that enquires as well as affirms,
That looks forward as well as backward;
The Church of the Master,
The Church of the people;
High as the ideals of Jesus,
Low as the humblest human;
A working Church,
A worshipping Church,
A winsome Church;
A Church that interprets truth in terms of truth;
That inspires courage for this life and hope for the next;
A Church of courage;
A Church of all good men –
The Church of the living God.

May God bless you, your families, and the week ahead,

Fr Aidan Peter
