One hundred and seventy-eight years ago the world was plagued by the cholera epidemic. In his poem In Memoriam, Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote “Ring out old shapes of foul disease”. Could he ever have guessed that his words would ring true again for our time of Covid. The human spirit is strong and now again,…
A Message from Fr Dan: The Coming of Christ:
Over the centuries there have been many powerful leaders in our world. In the last 100 years we have had Tzar in Russia, Hitler in Germany, Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Idi Amin in Uganda and Mussolini in Italy. Some of these leaders seize power but many of them were elected and were popular in their own…

A Message from Fr Dan: The Crib, the wonder of God’s love
The Nativity Scene or the Christmas Crib is first of all a beautiful Christmas decoration. But of course, it is much more. Its origins go far back in history. St Francis of Assisi, on a visit to Rome, had been struck by the mosaics, showing the birth of Jesus, in the Roman Basilica of Saint…
Rosbercon Parish Hall Building Upgrade:
Substantial repairs were recently completed to the roof of the Parish Hall. Our Hall is used by numerous groups and organisations throughout the year and is an integral part of our community.
