Frank
Burns, having now recovered from his broken femur,
ventured out on his first long-distance
cycle trek on 29 August 2010, following
the ancient Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome,
a total distance of 1300 miles, to include a crossing of the Swiss
Alps. He is using the venture to re-focus some attention on the plight
of the people of Haiti, especially the children, whose
situation 6 months after the earthquake is still desperate. Do follow
the ups and downs of this journey on his blog at:

Some
tips to help you live simply and sustainability:
One energy saving light bulb will save around £9 and cut 40kg
of CO2 per annum. Clothes washed at 40° rather than 60° use
a third less electricity and produce a third less CO2. A shower uses
two thirds less water and energy than a bath. Turn down the thermostat
1° and save 8-10% off your bill. Turn off appliances at the wall
when not in use. Don't leave appliances on standby. No one can do everything.
Everyone can do something. It is our
Christian duty. |
The
practice of reciting Morning prayer from
the Breviary, the official prayer of the Church, has
become widespread in many parishes. So, we would like to invite those
who come to the morning Mass during the
week to join the community in reciting Morning Prayer
at 9.15 am. The Psalms which we recite would have been very familiar
to Jesus and would most probably have formed the basis of his prayer
life. We hope you will come and join us. |
