St Day of Bishop and martyr Boniface. He was born around 680AD to a Saxon farming family near Crediton in Devon. He was baptised as Wynfrith. Educated in monastery schools in the West Country, he became a monk, first at Exeter, then at Nursling, near Southampton. During this time he compiled the first Latin grammar written in English. In 718, he left his homeland, never to return, to take the Gospel to the pagan tribes in Germany.

The results of his mission were long-lasting. His mission extended over Hesse, Bavaria, Westphalia, the Thuringenland, and Wurtenburg. To help in his work he enlisted many men and women from Wessex.

The text of many letters written by St Boniface and others from the time still exist and depict a great and lovable man. He journeyed to Rome three times to report to the Pope. On his second visit he was made bishop and by around 732 he was archbishop. When he was over 70 he set out on a mission to Holland. There his life ended in martyrdom. At a place called Dokkum he was set upon by a group of Frieslanders armed with swords as he sat reading in his tent.

Archbishop Cuthbert of Canterbury wrote at the time: "we in England lovingly reckon Boniface to be among the best and greatest teachers of the faith."

Mark 12:28b-34

‘You shall love the Lord your God. You shall love your neighbour.’

At that time: One of the scribes came up to Jesus and asked him, ‘Which commandment is the most important of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The most important is, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” The second is this: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” There is no other commandment greater than these.’ And the scribe said to him, ‘You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbour as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.’ And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions’ Story

One of 22 Ugandan martyrs, Saint Charles Lwanga is the patron of youth and Catholic action in most of tropical Africa. He protected his fellow pages, aged 13 to 30, from the sexual demands of the Bagandan ruler, Mwanga, and encouraged and instructed them in the Catholic faith during their imprisonment for refusing the ruler’s demands.

Saint Charles Lwanga first learned of Christ’s teachings from two retainers in the court of Chief Mawulugungu. While a catechumen, he entered the royal household as assistant to Joseph Mukaso, head of the court pages.

On the night of Mukaso’s martyrdom for encouraging the African youths to resist Mwanga, Saint Charles Lwanga requested and received baptism. Imprisoned with his friends, Charles’ courage and belief in God inspired them to remain chaste and faithful.

For his own unwillingness to submit to the immoral acts and his efforts to safeguard the faith of his friends, Charles was burned to death at Namugongo on June 3, 1886, by Mwanga’s order.

Mark 12:13-17

‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’

At that time: They sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, ‘Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?’ But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, ‘Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.’ And they brought one. And he said to them, ‘Whose likeness and inscription is this?’ They said to him, ‘Caesar’s.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ And they marvelled at him.

2 Peter 1:2-7

‘He has granted to us his precious promises,
so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature.’

Beloved: May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinity Sunday) is a major feast in the Catholic Church celebrating the foundational mystery of the Christian faith: that one God exists in three distinct Divine Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

It is celebrated on the first Sunday immediately following Pentecost Sunday.
The prescribed liturgical color is white, symbolizing the glory and purity of God.

The feast honors the belief that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God—yet there are not three gods, but one eternal, incomprehensible God.
It serves as a culmination and thank-you ("Te Deum") for the graces of the Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost seasons. It moves beyond what God does to reveal who God is.

While the mystery has been the pulse of the Church from its beginnings, devotion to the Trinity specifically grew in the liturgy during the Middle Ages.
Pope John XXII officially placed the feast on the universal Church calendar in 1334, recognizing it as a designated time to adore and ponder the inner life of the Trinity.

Jude 17, 20b-25

‘God is able to keep you from stumbling
and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory.’

You must remember, beloved, the predictions of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. Building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen.

I have attached a few photos to show people what is happening at the church. The roof is in the process of being removed by men hanging from the scaffolding on ropes because the roof is so fragile. The water tanks are there to keep the scaffolding stable. More updates soon.
