Welcome to St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church Monks Kirby Welcome to St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church Monks Kirby Mass Times: Sunday morning 9:15, with children’s liturgy Monday 18:30, Tuesday 10:00, Wednesday 18:30, Friday 19:00 Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament Friday 18:30 Introduction Fr Matthew Pittam So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Romans 12:5 Welcome to St Joseph’s Church. Often St Joseph’s is described as a family where people can find a sense of belonging, fellowship and growth in faith. We are a community which cares for each other but also one which seeks to be missional through our wide variety of activities. In many ways St Joseph’s ‘punches above its weight’ and has a church life which might not always be found in a much larger parish. This gives St Joseph’s a real sense of purpose and a focus upon the work of evangelisation. The parish serves an area known locally as the Revel. Within this area, St Joseph’s enjoys a strong profile and is well respected as part of the community. We enjoy good links with the local school and all of the other local Churches. Increased involvement in the school over the last few years has helped develop links with local families and those who are new to the area. We are very proud of the Catholic provision which continues to take place within the school. For many years we have provided chaplaincy to the two very large care and nursing homes within the parish. This extends beyond merely visiting Catholics and we are often called upon to support and provide spiritual care to a wide variety of residents, which also includes visiting at special times of the year and conducting services. In addition, we have very strong links to the local Gateway Club for adults with learning disabilities who visit St Joseph’s at least twice a each year for special services. Lay involvement in St Joseph’s is excellent and developing. A very large proportion of the community are actively engaged in a number of areas of Church life, which are described further within this booklet. On the back of the booklet is a list of names for key contacts. We still maintain an (almost) daily Mass which has a small and faithful group of supporters. Most Masses are now in the evening which reflects that many of our community are commuters. Each Friday Mass is preceded by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and is well attended. We look forward to welcoming you to our parish and getting to know you. The Parish-in-Council Liz Crosskey ‘Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.’ 1Corinthians 12:27 Every member of the congregation of St Joseph is welcome to come to Parish-in-Council meetings. We hold meetings about four times a year to discuss plans for both the secular and spiritual life of the parish. Such diverse items as ideas for major building refurbishments, to the date of a barbeque, or the formation of a new prayer group, to the altar servers’ outing to a bowling alley are discussed. In this way, every member of the parish can have their say, and every member’s skill can be used for the common good. Meetings open and close with a prayer. Minutes are taken and typed up. These are available electronically, on the church bulletin board and on paper. Please ask if you wish to have a copy. Decisions regarding dates are put into the parish diary on the table in the porch. You can also sponsor the sanctuary candle for £3 a week or ask for Mass to be said for a special intention and enter these into the parish diary too. A finance committee is an off-shoot of the Parish-in-Council and meets quarterly. There is a parish finance policy document which is available to view on request. The finance committee of seven people is ably assisted by a small team of people who count and bank the collection takings. Full summary accounts are available, reported annually, at Parish-in-council meetings. Map of the Parish The Parish of St Joseph, Monks Kirby, including the villages of Brinklow, Easenhall, Harborough Magna, Pailton, Stretton-under-Fosse, Willey and Withybrooke The Parish is part of the Catholic Deanery of Rugby and the Archdiocese of Birmingham A Brief History of the Parish Deirdre Towers ‘Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations’ Deuteronomy 32:7 The word ‘Kirby’ means ‘a settlement around a church’ in the Norse language and the village of Monks Kirby is so called because a Benedictine priory was situated here before the reformation. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the church was allowed to stand as it was used by the parish. This original church is the Anglican Church of St Edith’s and it is still standing to one side of the tiny village green. The Earls of Denbigh, the Feilding family, have had their seat at Newnham Paddox at one end of the village for well over 500 years. In 1869 the eighth Earl bought the Catholic faith back to the village and founded the present Roman Catholic parish. The Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy from Pantasaph in Wales, were invited by the Earl to found a school in the parish and he built here a school, a convent, a chapel and other buildings for their use. When the eighth Earl died in 1892, he was taken to be buried next to his wife in Pantasaph in North Wales. The nuns in St Joseph’s Convent served the parish until they left in 1998, following the reorganisation of schools by the Local Authority, which closed the school in 1996. The House of Newnham Paddox became too big for practical use and too expensive to maintain and so was demolished in the 1950s. There is nothing left of the original house but the buildings of the convent still stand. They were used by various orders and groups for a few years but are now converted into houses. The foundation stone of the new church of St Joseph’s, which replaced the old small chapel in the convent, was blessed by His Grace, Maurice Courve de Murville, 7th Archbishop of Birmingham, on 17th December 1991. Our Parish Priest was shared with another parish for many years and for some years the presbytery was used by a much loved retired priest, Fr David Hutt. After his death, the parish continued to use the old Presbytery for a while as a meeting place. We are grateful that Fr Matthew Pittam, a priest of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, decided to settle in the village with his family, and we have a resident Parish priest once more. In recent years the presbytery was refurbished and is now let out as a rented home, which brings a small but steady income to the parish. During the refurbishment, the garage of the presbytery was converted into a small meeting room with simple kitchen facilities, and this is now used for coffee after Mass, for meetings and for children’s liturgy. The parish attracts a number of regular attenders who live outside the parish and we have a growing attendance. This is in no small part, due to the community feel of the parish, the active nature of its many groups and its ability to find a special niche for everyone who comes. The church was consecrated on the 11th July 2012 by His Grace, the Most Reverend Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham. It was a beautiful ceremony and the whole parish worked together to make it a very special occasion. Preparations for this brought the community even closer together. The parish has no Catholic school now, but Catholic religious education provision is made in the Church of England primary school close by. The school employs a practising Roman Catholic teacher specifically for this purpose. Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion and for Confirmation is managed by the parish rather than the school, as a great many of the children in the parish do not attend this particular school. Recently the church has acquired some bells and these ring out to announce Mass and at the end of the school day during term time, to witness the presence of the parish in the village to all the residents, to the school children and to their parents and carers. As the parish grows, we are outgrowing our meeting room and we have exciting plans for extension. Buildings Committee Tracy Darke ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who builds it.’ Psalm 127:1 St Joseph’s has a small portfolio of buildings and land, primarily the church, car park, a lawn area with a tool and storage shed and the adjacent dormer bungalow, once the presbytery. The garage of the bungalow is converted into a small meeting room. The rental of the bungalow provides one of the small income streams to the parish. Whilst we are a small parish, we have big ambitions to provide facilities to broaden our reach and encourage the wider community to participate in parish activities. Every summer we erect a large marquee for the reception following First Communion and Confirmation celebrations. We also use it for other activities including a Ladies’ Tea hosted by the Union of Catholic Mothers and for barbeques shared with members of The Gateway Club. It has become clear that we need a larger building to hold such events and to be a venue for parish meetings, children’s liturgy, group meetings, prayer groups and coffee after Mass, and we have started to plan for this.

    REVEL BENEFICE Passionate about sharing God’s love with the whole community Page 1 of 32 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION There has been a willingness and commitment of the parishes within the Revel Benefice to re- think how mission and ministry might look in their rural context. A few years ago, I challenged them to do some work on what the future shape of their ministry might look like. To their great credit they have taken up the challenge and responded very well. The Parish Profile reflects how far their thinking has come, along with changes in structure they have already made. They have engaged healthily with the 8 Essential Qualities, which they have undertaken as a whole benefice. This has enabled their journey of growing as a mission shaped church to continue. A growth in shared ministry, lay leadership and working together has continued to bear fruit through Messy church, and a growing relationship with schools, has enabled the mission and ministry to continue even with the challenges posed by illness and early retirement of the previous incumbent. The Revel journey draws on a spiritual heritage I found very inspiring when arriving in Coventry Diocese. It can be read in a little but influential book by Stephen Verney called, ‘Fire in Coventry’, and describes how the Spirit moved in the hearts of people in Monks Kirby and the spiritual awakening across the Diocese that happened as a result. My hope and prayer is that this benefice may once again be a place of influential spiritual momentum. This heritage in the spiritual dynamic of laity, has given energy to new forms of mission and ministry in a rural context.

  • Revised Plan April 2016 Traditional Orchards
    www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk ACTION for WILDLIFE Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Plan REVISED PLAN APRIL 2016 TRADITIONAL ORCHARDS 1. INTRODUCTION Traditional orchards are groups of fruit trees such as apples, pears and plums planted on vigorous rootstocks at low densities in permanent grassland managed in a low intensity way; nut-bearing shrubs such as walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts can also be present in some sites. These man- made habitats are long-established and widely distributed Blackwell Orchard and are a distinctive feature of the British countryside. Prime © Sarah Shuttleworth traditional orchard habitat consists of grazed grassland with fruit trees of varying age structure, with an abundance of standing and fallen dead and decaying wood. Warwickshire is not as rich in traditional orchards as its neighbouring counties of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire but it retains a valuable resource of this habitat, especially within Stratford-on-Avon District. Traditional orchards are structurally and ecologically similar to wood-pasture and parkland, with open-grown trees set in herbaceous vegetation, but are generally distinguished from these priority habitat complexes by the following characteristics: the species composition of the trees, these being primarily in the family Rosaceae; the usually denser arrangement of the trees; the small scale of individual habitat patches; the wider dispersion; greater frequency of occurrence of habitat patches in the countryside. Some traditional orchards may have originally been commercial orchards but are now no longer managed intensively. Others are small orchards planted originally to produce fruit for local consumption or for the production of cider and perry (pear wine). They are usually dominated by older, less intensively managed ‘standard’ trees (branches springing above the reach of grazing animals) planted at relatively lower densities, which allows livestock grazing beneath the orchard canopy.

  • 4 Crick and the Domesday Book
    HISTORICAL NOTES THE MANORS OF CRICK - 4 Crick and the Domesday Book - 3 As we have seen, the first Norman lord of the manor of Crick was Geoffrey de la Guérche, who held it as part of his baronial estates as a tenant-in-chief of William the Conqueror. He originated from a family of some considerable rank, for his father Silvestre was lord of la Guerche and Pouence, both being towns near Rennes on the border of Brittany and Anjou. Silvestre was Chancellor of Brittany, but after the death of his wife, he entered the Church, and in 1075 was consecrated Bishop of Rennes. Geoffrey was known in Brittany as de Pouence, but after coming to England he changed his title to de la Guerche. It is by no means certain, but quite probable that in fact he held a command in William's invading army of 1066, for a count of Brittany named Alan Fergant provided and led a third of the entire force. Since these men were Bretons, Geoffrey could well have been amongst them. His social rank alone would have hardly qualified him otherwise for the extent of his estates afterwards awarded to him by William. It is easy, and indeed customary, to regard a village at the time of the Domesday Survey - and, for that matter, in the succeeding centuries as an isolated entity having an independent place in history. The reality was very much otherwise. Every village was part of a group, large or small, which made up the estate of a tenant-in-chief, and thus Crick was but one manor amongst the considerable number held by Geoffrey de la Guerche.
