World Aids Day Serivce at Holy Angels Portsmouth
Fr Paul and Fr Brizz held a service for World Aids Day, courtesy of the John Pounds Memorial Church Portsmouth, on Tuesday 1st December 2009.
After expecting about 25 people to turn up, well over 60 came to reflect and pray on the effects AIDS has had in their lives or in the lives of someone they love.
It was clear from talking to people afterwards that hearts had been touched and sore wounds dressed
and in some cases healed. Reflecting on the evening Brizz and Paul both felt how wonderful it was that they were able to reach out to so many people.
It was with great joy that we learnt of the ordination to Priesthood of Morag Liebert. She is the first woman to be ordained in the UK for the international initiative "Roman Catholic Women Priests." Further details of her historic ordination can be read here. An e-mail of support from our Archbishop was received with thanks
Dear Terry,
Very many thanks to you and all the members of the United Ecumenical Catholic Church for your very sincere and encouraging message, and also for your prayers and blessings. I appreciate your good will and kind thoughtfulness enormously.
Best wishes to everyone,
Morag. (Morag Liebert, RCWP).
