A Conversation with Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, Most Reverend
ENNISKILLEN LISBELLAW Volume 2, Issue 1 NEWSLETTER October 2020 The Editorial Team had originally planned this edition for Easter. It never happened. I took the hard decision to close our parish churches after St Patrick’s Day. I wondered if we were doing the right thing. Was it too drastic a decision? And then came lockdown: confined to barracks apart from an hour a day. It was a challenge to peace of mind, to peace in the home. I remember being able to hear the clock ticking in the parochial house kitchen. Then we opened for personal prayer. All the hygiene The Easter Vigil 2020 arrangements had to be figured out first and then put in place, as well as the signage and the taping off the benches. And when at last we opened for public Mass, I remember wondering how would we manage social distancing if too many people turned up. It’s been a stressful time. Thanks be to God for the parish webcam, which was put in in 2012 and was upgraded in 2015 after much was spent upgrading and improving the lights in the church. Fr Joe had to isolate on account of the years. Deacon Martin took to writing and, later, recording fine reflections for our parish Facebook page. Fr Raymond and I took to a ministry of prayer, as well as continuing with the vast bulk of the parish Masses entirely over the webcam. We wanted to shape the day around regular reminders that God is with us on our up-&-journey of life, so as to keep anxieties at bay, and also to encompass the parish community (and beyond) in a web of prayer.
