Welcome to Saint Vincent's

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around for a couple of weeks - that's because I have been on pilgrimage to Lourdes with a number of other parishioners from Saint Vincent's.  And there is no reason why I shouldn't do it in style, is there?  Don't I wish!  Anyway, while I can't have one for myself (the picture was taken outside our hotel in Paris) I can at least pretend as the picture above shows.  But I did have a good and prayerful time away in Lourdes - I even did some paddling as the picture below shows.   But I am truly glad to be back in Crookes among people who are the salt of the earth!  God bless you all.
