This summer I set out to find out more about this work and about the ‘secret army’ of volunteers involved. THE MEDICAL TEAM The medical team – often with a stethoscope around the neck or wearing a nurse’s uniform – are fairly visible and identifiable members of the support team, but the work to ensure that the medical needs of the Assisted Pilgrims (APs) can be met begins long before they arrive in Lourdes. I met with Dr Jane Pateman, Medical Director of the pil - grimage, who leads a team of 8 – 10 doc - tors and around 30 nurses in Lourdes and who took me through the preparatory work involved each year. Her work begins in November with a meeting at the Lourdes Office to finalise/refine the application form which goes live in January. Training is organised for those who are going to undertake home visits that start in February and continue through March and April.

  • Testimony of Faith Tony, Aged 25 from Woking Arundel and Brighton Diocese
    Testimony of Faith Tony, aged 25 from Woking Arundel and Brighton Diocese I don’t come from a religious family. When they realised I planned to be a Roman Catholic my parents were very surprised. They weren’t happy about it, but they have come to realise that it is important to me and now they support me. It started with an experience I had when I was about 11 years old. I had taken my 2 brothers on a rubber boat on a lake. The rubber boat split and we were all stuck on a small island. My brothers, who were younger than me, couldn’t swim. There was a strong current and I knew I needed help, so I left them to go and find someone. To get back to land I needed to swim, so I took all my clothes off, down to my briefs, and then I swam across the lake, and that led me to the river. I swam down the river looking for help, but couldn’t see anyone. I was terrified my brothers wouldn’t be safe. As no-one was around, I had to swim across the river to the other side, where I saw a boat. Nobody was there so I dragged the boat onto the river, and using only my hands, paddled upriver. Then I had to drag the boat across the rough ground to get it to the lake. It was wooden and heavy. I had no shoes on and my feet were getting cut on the stones. I was terrified for my brothers and it was a long way to pull the boat, and then I just didn’t have the energy to go on.

  • Arundel Circular Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Arundel Circular walk A walk in the low hills around the River Arun, returning through an attractive old town with a castle and cathedral. Length Main Walk: 21 km (13.0 miles). Four hours 55 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 11 hours. Alternative Walk, finishing at Amberley: 16½ km (10.3 miles). Three hours 45 minutes walking time. Short Circular Walk, omitting Houghton Bridge: 14¾ km (9.2 miles). Three hours 25 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer OL10 (previously 121). Arundel, map reference TQ024063, is in West Sussex, 5 km N of Littlehampton. Toughness 4 out of 10 (3 for the shorter walks). Features There are many attractive walking routes where the River Arun cuts through the South Downs from Amberley to Arundel and much of this walk will be familiar to those who know the classic Arundel to Amberley walk (1– 32). The walk starts along the eastern bank of the river and then goes over some low hills into the small village of Burpham (pronounced Burfem). It then returns to the river for a long clockwise loop via South Stoke to the lunchtime stop at Houghton Bridge, near Amberley station. After an undemanding stroll down the river valley via North Stoke and Offham, the walk enters Arundel Park. Arundel Park is closed to the public on March 24th each year, but the directions follow rights of way through the park and these should remain open. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/arundel-circular/ 1/12 A stretch alongside Swanbourne Lake and a gentle climb to the top of the landscaped parkland is followed by a descent through the attractive hilltop town of Arundel, its skyline dominated by the massive castle and ornate Roman Catholic cathedral.

Fr Michael is happy to assist parishioners in any practical way he can and can be contacted on: 01422 361682 and [email protected],uk. Offertory Giving. The loss of our weekly offertory collections during this period of lockdown presents a challenge to cashflow in our parishes. A number of our parishioners may also be affected by a loss of income which will be reflected in what they can afford to contribute to their parishes. Others may be able to put their weekly gift to one side during this period to bring along when we are able to celebrate Sunday Mass again. However, to assist with current cashflow parishioners can also set up Standing Orders or make occasional donations directly to our bank accounts. Alternatively, parishioners can use their mobile phones to text a £5 gift (or several texts for multiples of £5) to their parish.

    Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor: Biography Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, who became the tenth Archbishop of Westminster (2000-09), was born in Reading on 24 February 1932, the fifth son of Dr George Murphy-O’Connor and his wife Ellen. His parents originally came from County Cork. He was educated at the Presentation College, Reading, and Prior Park College in Bath. During the Holy Year of 1950 he began to train as a priest for the diocese of Portsmouth at the Venerable English College, Rome, where he joined his two brothers, Brian and Patrick. He later joked that the Rector, Mgr John Macmillan, needed some persuading since it was thought that two Murphy-O’Connors in a seminary was quite enough. While in Rome he gained licentiates in philosophy and theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University and was ordained by Archbishop Luigi Traglia on 28 October 1956. On returning to his home diocese, he served as curate at Corpus Christi, Portsmouth (1956-63) and Sacred Heart, Fareham (1963-66). Then in 1966 he became Private Secretary to the Bishop of Portsmouth, Derek Worlock. Murphy-O’Connor also served as Director of Vocations and helped establish the country’s first Diocesan Pastoral Centre at Park Place, Wickham. In September 1970 he went to Immaculate Conception, Portswood as Parish Priest, but at the end of 1971 returned to Rome as Rector of the Venerable English College, his alma mater. The years following the Second Vatican Council were challenging ones to be a seminary rector, with much uncertainty about the future and the constant need, as he later put it, to ‘broker a peace between the people who want to change everything and the people who want to change nothing’.
