Its always interesting to get a coded message in relation to a blog from the Catholic Church and its curate Father PJ from
Liverpool England ... so I take it as read that he is very
excited because they ....
local scene ... get a
mention or two in this newspaper ..
Portsmouth People ... and the reason is the moving out of the Ancient Order of
Catholic Nuns .... The Poor Clares .... after being here for decades ... there are 5 nuns left and have transferred to their Dublin Ireland Monastery .... no sign of Father in the photo or me ... still not to worry ...
The other bit of news causing mounting excitement from Father PJ is the photograph of the Bishop and his Canons ... some of whom are well known locally ... so local clergy
get an additional mention ... i.e. the Parish Priest of St Edmunds and St Josephs Catholic Church in Southampton .... Canon John O''Shea is looking grand altogether beside the Bishop ... and then there is Canon Nick France next to Canon O''Shea and Canon Nick is a former Parish Priest of Father PJ''s Church and Congregation ... great stuff ... its nice when local clergy and personalities get a mention.
Myself ... I got a mention as a local writer in a letter from The Queen at Balmoral ... about my Book Signing in London .. I love London and of course I am proud to be a Professional London to my very finger tips ... great stuff .. in Portsmouth People newspaper ...
