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.

A Message from Fr Dan: To stand apart from public opinion in the search for Truth, Goodness and Beauty:

“God warned the people about an earthquake that would so affect the water supply that those who drank it would go crazy. One monk who lived on the mountain by himself laid in a supply of good water to last his lifetime. When the earthquake did occur, the monk went down to find that the…


A Message from Fr Dan: Hope:

Desmond Tutu said, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” You don’t get out of bed in the morning without hope. We have hope in many things. Hope in God, hope in family, hope that our efforts will bear fruit, hope we’ll overcome a sickness, hope that…


A Message from Fr Dan:

The film Kramer V Kramer which I saw for the first time in 1980 made a deep impression on me. Made in 1979 the story of the film centers on a family with one child. The husband, Ted, is a very successful designer in a company where he is about to be made a partner.…
