5 Together Team Lunch at St Petroc’s Church
All are warmly invited to the Lent Lunches across the Team.
"Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and
listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a
period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with
pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word
of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready
to renew the promises of our Baptism." -- Pope Benedict XVI
Date for the Diary
Thursday 16th April – St Petroc’s Church
BBC Radio Cornwall are recording a ‘Hustings’ prior to the General Election.
All are invited. Please be seated by 6.15 am
Thank you to Brenda Dunster who has made and given an
‘Altar Book Cushion’ for Saint Petroc’s High Altar
Thank you to everyone who supported Saint Petroc’s
Pancake Evening on Shrove Tuesday. What was a ‘social
evening’ raised £130:00 which will be put towards the new
lighting for the Reredos. The cost of this will be
approximately £1200 [inc vat of £200 which we would hope
will be reclaimable]. There is no doubt that proper lighting
will enhance this beautiful mosaic. This year our Lent Lunches will go to helping an overseas project - the
‘International Nepal Fellowship’ which helps people affected by TB, leprosy,
disability, HIV / AIDS and drug abuse, facilitates development among poor
communities, runs medical camps and provides medical training. Some of
you will be aware that Dr Charles Collins [son of Dr Mary Collins who is a
member of Saint Petroc’s congregation] and his wife Linda worked there
and still visit for short periods to help out.
This is a little information about the work of INF. More details can be found
on their web site www.inf.org
