But bread by any other name and baked in any other shape can be called “the staff of life.” Little wonder that Jesus was called the Bread of Life. He is the source of human nourishment, happiness, and community. In our first reading from 1 Kings 19:4-8, Elijah faced a difficult journey to Mt. Horeb. After a day’s journey in the desert, he prayed for death.

Catholics actively participate in the Eucharist as the source and summit of their Christian life. This active participation manifests itself by : • gathering with a community of believers each Sunday and holy day, • praying together at Mass in word, gesture and song, • listening together to God’s word, • giving thanks and praise to God together for the gifts of creation, and in a special way, for the gift of Jesus Christ – his life, death and resurrection, and • sharing in and becoming the Body of Christ through reception of Holy Eucharist at Mass.

  • Lent | Holy Week | Easter #Lentpilgrim INTRODUCTION
    lent | holy week | easter #LentPilgrim INTRODUCTION his Lent, the Church of England is focusing on pilgrimage. In that spirit, we have created this virtual pilgrimage which T takes us on a journey from the Cathedral to the Cross, from Bristol to the bitter passion of Golgotha. It is not a straight path, as life is not straightforward, but twists and turns through the countries, and across the centuries. Accompanied by saints with links to places along the way, we will journey through Lent as we travel across Britain, France, Italy, and on into the Middle East. As we reach Rome, the pilgrimage retraces the journey of St Paul, in reverse, taking us from Rome, through Sicily, Malta, Rhodes, and beyond, until we arrive in Jerusalem, at the foot of the Cross. In addition to this devotional pilgrimage, from the back page of this booklet you will find details of services on Easter Day and in Holy Week, along with additional events and services such as the Lent Lunches, reading Mark right through, and Stations of the Cross. We pray that you will choose to travel with us for part or all of this journey.

  • Saints in the Cuban Heat
    Saints in the Cuban Heat Oliva M. Espin When I was a girl of eight or nine, during another hot and humid Christmas season in Havana, los Tres Reyes Magos—the Three Kings or Wise Men who bring presents to children on January 6, the feast of the Epiphany, in many Catholic countries—brought me a small book: Ninos Santos. I was already an avid reader; Ninos Santos became my constant companion. I read its stories so often I could recite the lives of the young people it contained from mem ory. Around the same time, a film on the life of Rose of Lima, the first canon ized saint of the Americas, became a success in Latin America. Rosa de America, a black-and-white feature film, triggered my fantasies about saint- hood. Watching Rosa on the screen after reading about her in Ninos Santos made saints even more real to me.1 I was mesmerized by Argentinean actress Delia Garces playing the role of Rose of Lima. Garces was a beautiful woman, as Rosa was supposed to have been. She played many other glamorous roles in Argentinean cinema but none made her as famous to the Latin American public in the 1940s as Rosa. Her beauty made sainthood seem like an attractive possibility. Her long dark curly hair, so much like mine, made me think I could be like her if I tried. Maybe if I behaved like her I could become as beautiful and as good as she was. And Rosa was Latin American, not European like the other saints 1 was hearing or reading about.

    Father Matthew Gerin Born Lyons 1851, died Littlehampton 1918 Founder of the Catholic Mission Farnham 1889 Rector of St Polycarp’s Church 1890 – 1907 – the first post Reformation Catholic Church in Farnham. Founder of St Polycarp’s School 1891. Requiescat in Pace. Dispossessed of his parish in the diocese of Lyons by an anti- clerical French Government, Father Matthew Gerin arrived penniless in England. It was the late 1880’s. Taken in by the Woodroffe family at their house Frensham Place (now Edgeborough School) he celebrated Mass for the family in their little chapel. Soon the family opened the chapel for Mass to the faithful of the neighbourhood, calling it the Chapel of the Holy Name. With the steady increase of Sunday visitors, Father Gerin decided to found a mission in Farnham. With Bishop Butt’s encouragement and his offer of help with diocesan funds, he purchased the old police station in Bear Lane in the centre of Farnham. On 26th January 1890, the feast of St Polycarp, the new church was opened in the upstairs room and named after that great martyr- saint. The following year St Polycarp’s school was opened in one small room downstairs. In February 1905 Father Gerin met with an accident that put an end to his active life. One morning he was coming home from the workhouse (which later became Farnham Hospital) having said Mass for the Catholic inmates, when a car in the Borough skidded, mounted the pavement and threw him through a plate glass window. He sustained grave injuries to his legs.
