On Sunday 2nd February Mgr Keith spent the day with us in Croydon
celebrating at our 12 noon Mass at Holy Family, Sanderstead and the
4.30 p.m. Mass at St. Mary’s Croydon. There was a buffet lunch between
the Masses and tea and cakes rounded off the day. It was a splendid
occasion for us all in the company of Mgr. Keith and Gill.”

with a balance of prayer and contemplation, fun and

Tuesday morning was set aside for sessions on ‘The
Peace in the Mass’ and ‘Liturgy and Mission’ led by
Mgr Edwin Barnes. We also had time to hear from him
about the Bournemouth group and share something
of our own experience.
As a group we shared morning and evening prayer
and compline. We set aside time for mass and
adoration- one morning against the smell of breakfast
cooking and the sound children singing in the kitchen!
During the week we also managed, between various
members of the group to visit friends and family
nearby, journe H
