Page 2 Holy Week 2015 - Memorial Issue for Fr John From Bishop Richard

This edition of The Link provides is with an opportunity, across the Catholic Scouting community in & , to reflect on the life of Father John Seddon. Father John gave so much to Scouting over many years, both at national and international levels and he will be sorely missed by a great number of people. He represented us in Europe and beyond, giving a wonderful example of chaplaincy to the Scouting Movement. His work with Gilwell Park, as National Faith Adviser, did much to keep Faith on the national agenda. Within Catholic Scouting in England & Wales, his devotion to the young people in his care was second-to-none. In Advent and Lent he would provide meditations and materials for Scouts, he was ever-present at NCSF Committee Meetings. I shall remember his powerful singing at Masses and at prayers during the Queen’s Jubilee Camp. I shall remember his lovely sense of humour, his dislike of vegetables and his Union Jack Trousers! Above all, we have been greatly blessed to have had a National Chaplain whose first concern was the Scouts in his care. He was a truly gentle shepherd for us all. May he rest in peace. With every Blessing for the coming celebration of Holy Week and Easter.

Bishop Richard Moth : Episcopal Liaison for Catholic Scouts A Memorial Mass for Father John Seddon will be celebrated at 3pm on Sunday 10th May at Aylesford Priory, Kent. All are very welcome.

The Link- National Catholic Scout Fellowship Page 3 From Jim

This edition is overshadowed by the passing-away of our much- loved National Chaplain, Fr John Seddon. I had only know him myself for the last three years, but in that short time he created a great impression on me.

But it was also the impression on so many others, which was amplified by the numbers attending his Requiem Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral in . We have reproduced in this edition the homily of the , plus the memories of others who knew Fr John for much longer than me. He will be a hard act to replace as we now search for his successor.

We extend our congratulations to our liaison Bishop, Rt Rev Richard Moth, on his appointment as the new Bishop of Arundel and Brighton. We send him our best wishes and prayers as he takes up this new challenge.

This year we are celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of our organisation, formerly known as the Catholic Scout Advisory Council. A number of us are going on a short pilgrimage to Rome in May in a repeat of the original pilgrimage of 1925 from which the CSAC sprang. It will also be a poignant memorial to Fr John whose idea it was and who set in motion its organisation.

Don’t forget as well the special anniversary badge which can be worn by all Catholics in Scouting. Details of how to obtain the badge can be found on the next page.

Page 4 Holy Week 2015 - Memorial Issue for Fr John This year’s Founder’s Day Mass at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, was well attended, and we were joined as principal celebrant as we marked our 90th anniversary by the , Most Rev , concelebrating with Bishop Richard, and our former liaison Bishop, Rt Rev Howard Tripp. Among the various presentations at the end of the Mass, special congratulations should be made to Robert Mann who was presented with the ICCS Medal for services to Catholic Scouting.

And finally, we welcome Ben Crabb as manager of the National Scout Active Support Units, and Edward Gough as his deputy; Edward also happens to be a member of the NCSF, which is good. We look forward to working with them both.

The Link- National Catholic Scout Fellowship Page 5 Funeral Homily of Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP

Preached at the Requiem Mass of Father John Seddon, Friday 6 March 2015

Deep within us the Lord has written his Law on our hearts. That deep truth was prophesied by Jeremiah and was made real for us in Jesus Christ who came to fulfil the Law. The law as we know it is a law of love – much harder to keep than a law that consists of lists of rights and wrongs. But a big heart can contain more – it contains the love of God made visible in Jesus Christ. You might have thought that John Seddon would make a great policeman. He was a big bloke with big feet and a big heart. He was just the kind of person we want in our society to uphold the law and keep the peace. But in a peculiar way John’s heart led him to serve the community in a different way as a priest. His calling to serve the community, God’s holy faithful people, as puts it took many forms: policeman, port chaplain, national scout chaplain, Lourdes pilgrim – but they were all encompassed by this big man’s heart. His heart was bursting with love. The thing about hearts in Jeremiah’s time was that they were understood to be the centre of justice in a person. It was in the heart that you discerned the difference between right and wrong. Hearts weren’t necessarily a place for your affections, but then a law of love is about justice too, and those who knew John would find in him an energy, power, that came from his heart. That is why we will all miss John dreadfully. Like St Paul, he could be all things to all people. Because he loved people, he absorbed their experiences into his heart. He had what psychologists called empathy, so whether he was dining at the captain’s table or sitting around a campfire eating spuds and sausages he was at home and at ease. That is why priesthood suited John. Through him many individuals found a way to God. In John they found sincerity and authenticity, and with him they broke bread and shared the cup and were true companions on the journey through life. But I believe that every priest preaches a sermon beyond death. John requested today that we wear white vestments to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and the hope that we will all be included in that moment of glory. He is not saying that we shouldn’t pray for him, that he will be pardoned of his sins

Page 6 Holy Week 2015 - Memorial Issue for Fr John (that is our solemn duty) – we must always dare the dead to step into the light with our prayers. He is saying that he wants us to share in the joy that he found in Jesus, and not to be miserable. He is saying that our hope in the coming of the Lord is not optimism but true hope based on Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, and he is saying that although life is full of pain it can still be joyful. Unbeknown to many John had lived with the sickness that killed him for many years. He had received excellent medical treatment and lived a full life – it is a tribute to the knowledge and skill of the medical profession that he was able to live such a varied and energetic life in the service of the Lord. But the Lord had given John great strength to enable him to carry out his work. Every time John went on pilgrimage to Lourdes he must have wondered why he was so blessed when he ministered to the sick. Deep within his heart was God’s love bursting to get out but also within him was a medical condition that was always life threatening. We never know what goes on inside another’s heart, body or mind – except that that person deserves our respect and would be loved by Lord. For many pilgrims John was an embodiment of that love. That is his message for us that we must see the face of Christ in others: the young scout learning to work with others, a seafarer a long way from home, an elderly couple on a Caribbean cruise still seeking some meaning in life, a fellow patient in hospital, a barman in Lourdes or a sick pilgrim. These and many more were to John a reflection of the incarnate God. It was John’s confidence in the Lord who called him to serve him as a priest that gave John the serenity and courage to look death in the face. He had followed his master, and served him faithfully. Jesus said in the Gospel we have just heard: “If a man serves me, he must follow me, wherever I am, my servant will be there too. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.” So that is our prayer today: Father, forgive John his sins and honour him by welcoming him into your kingdom.

The Link- National Catholic Scout Fellowship Page 7 Archdiocesan Obituary of Father John

FATHER JOHN SEDDON, a former Port Chaplain, Director of the Archdiocesan Youth Service and National Chaplain to Catholic Scouts died on the morning of Friday 27 February at Ince Blundell, aged 62 years. He had been a priest for 29 years. John Seddon was born in Liverpool on 3 May 1952, the son of John and Mary Seddon. He received his early education at St Peter and St Paul School, Crosby, St William of York School, Thornton, and St Bede’s Secondary School, Crosby. After leaving school he became a clerical assistant at the Inland Revenue, eventually becoming a tax officer, but felt the need to do something else. He joined the Police Force as a Constable for two years, before returning to the Civil Service as an executive officer at the Ministry of Defence. During his time atthe Inland Revenue he had become a Royal Naval Reservist and from the age of twenty had started serving as a Scout leader. He became involved in the parish at St William of York, Thornton, and was among the founding members of Speakeasy, a discussion and music group for young people. After two of his close friends decided to begin seminary training, it was only a matter of time before the long-standing struggles in discerning his own vocation became more insistent. He eventually applied to start his seminary training and was sent to Ushaw College in 1980. He was ordained priest by Archbishop at St William of York, Thornton, on 6 July 1985. Following ordination he was appointed assistant priest at Our Lady of Compassion, Formby, where he remained until August 1989. He then spent a year as Chaplain for the Apostleship of the Sea at Stella Maris, Bootle. Over the years John acted as chaplain on more than 25 cruises, the last on board the Aurora last Easter. In 2012 he gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph about his work as a priest on board cruise ships. He quipped that, ‘We’re actually classified by the cruise lines as an entertainer,’ which in John’s case was

Page 8 Holy Week 2015 - Memorial Issue for Fr John probably quite apt, but on a more serious note he also remarked on the various ways in which he could help passengers and crew amid the joys and sorrows of life. In August 1990 John was installed as Director of the Archdiocesan Youth Service living at St Robert Bellarmine, Bootle. He undertook this role for four years before his appointment as parish priest at St Michael’s, Kirkby. In 1997 he returned to a ministry with young people, this time as National Chaplain to Catholic Scouts, a post he held until his death. John was very proactive in this role. He was instrumental in organising camps for Catholic scouts, including the provision of prayers and reflections to be used. He was, for a time, the religious adviser to the Scout movement on Catholic matters, he also chaired an inter-faith committee and he was very involved in the Centenary Jamboree in 2007. On a number of occasions John had the honour to preach at some prestigious venues such as Westminster Abbey and Rochester Cathedral, and for the St George’s Day parade at Windsor, and on one occasion to lead prayers in the US Senate. For ten years John also served as the European Catholic Chaplain for the International Scouting Movement. In the last few years John served on the Police-Clergy liaison group for as well as being the Priest Chaplain to the . Throughout his time as National Scout Chaplain John was based in the parish of St Peter and St Paul, Crosby, where he generously assisted when he was not prevented by his many other commitments. His body was received into the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, on Thursday 5 March at 7.00pm when a Vigil Mass was celebrated. His Requiem Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP at the Metropolitan Cathedral on Friday 6 March at 11.00am, followed by burial at St Peter and St Paul, Crosby.

The Link- National Catholic Scout Fellowship Page 9 Father John : An Appreciation

We have the highest regard for Fr John. We were so pleased when he agreed to bless our wedding in the Gilwell Chapel at the 2009 Gilwell Reunion, which made it even extra special being in the traditional home of Scouting. Leaving that aside that Fr John was one in a million, I know that everyone is different, but if all priests were like Fr John then our churches would be full. His easy going devotion to the faith, and to Scouting as National Chaplain, were exceptional. No doubt his humour will make heaven an even better place! We shall dearly miss him — Rest in Peace Patrick & Patsy Warren

Page 10 Holy Week 2015 - Memorial Issue for Fr John Father John : by his Parish Priest

It has been a long road we’ve travelled with Fr John – a journey of joys and sorrows. John always had a good sense of timing – and here we are in the middle of Lent sharing the sorrow of death but anticipating Easter and the Resurrection of the Lord!

John didn’t want anything ambitious for his Funeral – just for his body to be brought on a gun carriage on a barge along the Mersey, to Burbo Bank, and then escorted by outriders through the streets of Crosby to church. (Not quite, John!)

We have had something far better, a great celebration of Christian faith. We could not have held this Funeral at Saints Peter and Paul, Crosby, as is evident from the number of people here, and I am very grateful to all at the Cathedral staff and community and all who have helped in any way in the preparation for the two Masses, last night and today. Archbishop Malcolm, Bishop Tom, Archbishop Kelly and all the clergy.... so many thanks.

I knew that John had touched the lives of many people along the way but it is only now, at his Funeral Masses, that I have appreciated HOW many and how DEEPLY, and the extent of the contacts, friends and colleagues that he had. Some people might be surprised at the wide range of people whose lives he influenced.

Represented here last night and today we have his family to whom we promise our continued prayers; also many close friends of John, his fellow-priests, of course the Scouts to which he gave so much time and energy all his life, parishioners from a number of parishes, school staff and children from Great Crosby Catholic primary school, Sacred Heart Catholic college, Crosby, and other schools, the Apostleship of the Sea, Seafarers, the Police, former work colleagues, Youth Workers, The Lourdes Association and other pilgrimage groups, musicians and singers, Great Crosby Primary School Choir (thanks to all of them) and maybe even one or two former fellow travellers on the cruise liners (John used to tell me on his return what hard work it had been on the cruise…. he took the wind out my sails - as I was about to tell him off!)

All of those here and many more I would like to thank for all their support and prayers. I loved John as a brother, friend and a fellow-priest and for the inspiring character he was. A big personality and talent has gone from us, but by he will by no means be forgotten. God bless you for being there for Fr John and for being here today.

NCSF Facebook Page

We have had a page on Facebook for the last few months and it is starting to gather momentum. The idea is that this is a more fluid communication medium for any NCSF related questions, issues, comments or promotions. Anyone registered on Facebook can "like", comment, ask a question or register an interest in an event or activity. Scout groups can add information and upload pictures around any of their NCSF related activities in order to share what they are doing and hopefully, encourage other groups. The Facebook page can be accessed by entering www.facebook.com/catholicsinscoutinguk in your web browser or by clicking on the hyperlink "NCSF on Facebook" at our website: www.catholicsinscouting.org.uk Let us all start sharing our thoughts and experiences and help grow our community!
