Farwell to an old friend
Frances Xavier, age 95, passed on to the Lord recently.
Frances used to help with Renewal in North Wales, including
recording and producing tapes of talks.He was married to Audrey
for 68 years, with 5 children, 12 grandchildren and 2 great
grandchildren. We will miss him greatly.We thank them all
for their contribution to Renewal in Wales and ask that you
please keep his wife and family in your prayers.
19th JUNE 2009 – 19th JUNE 2010 YEAR OF PRIESTS
This coming year has been designated by Pope Benedict as a
year to pray in a special way for priests. So it is a good
opportunity to thank God for all the priests who have faithfully
served us in the CCR. We would like to draw particular attention
to four special 80 year olds, who have been involved since
the very early days. FR SEAN CONATY, former NSC member and
long time leader in the CCR, from the Hexham and Newcastle
diocese, who this year celebrates his 80th Birthday in October
and who celebrated his 55th anniversary to the priesthood
in June. He is a spring chicken, however, compared to DOM
BENEDICT HERON OSB, who although in poor health, is 88 and
still manages to go to the weekly prayer group in Cockfosters,
north London, where he is their chaplain. FR. MICHAEL KILLEEN,
from the Hallam diocese, is also 88. Now in a nursing home
he still gives talks and retreats! Another active octogenarian
and former NSC member is FR MIKE GWINNELL who is 85 in September,
and although officially in retirement is still ministering.
Tour of the relics of ST Therese of Lisieux in England
and Wales
Arriving at Portsmouth Cathedral (16th Sept) and finishing
at Westminster Cathedral (16th Oct) the relics of St Therese
of Lisieux will be taken on a tour of England and Wales this
year for a month. The Catholic Church is using the visit as
a focus for evangelisation. St Therese, although she lived
an enclosed life in a Carmelite monastery, is the patroness
of the missions. Wherever her relics have been, to date 40
countries, there have been conversions to Christ, healings,
renewed sense of vocation and answers to prayer. This is the
first time the relics have been brought to England. For a
full list of the places where the relics will be displayed,
log on to www.catholicchurch.org.uk
