Nativity of Our Lady Feast

On September 8th we celebrated the Nativity of Our Lady. Always it is a beautiful and colourful day to celebrate. Blue is given as her colour radiating the blue sky. Some of our day celebrations include saying a decade of rosary, reading Magnificat in our prayer time. Also I wpold love to make a sweet treat, cake/ cup cakes, jellies on this birthday of Our Lady and enjoy the day. Then towards the evening, we had our friends coming in, had meal together and she is expecting baby soon.

In Peak District- Middle Black clough

Here’s a fantastic waterfall walk you can do in the Peak District. Middle Black Clough waterfall is a short but challenging walk – if you enjoy an adventure then this is the walk for you.’ll need to be prepared for this walk as there’s a water crossing, so bring your wellies, and there’s also a small amount of scrambling. water level was ok, we enjoyed every bit and thw scenic nature captivating the senses..never knew such a gem is hiding around.

First Solemn Mass- Canon Joseph McCowens

I think the day was awesome. Seeing some of the children from among who played, studied and grew up as an amazing priest. So celebrating the first solemn mass of Canon Joseph McCowen with the whole congregration of Institute of Christ the King , Preston was stunning and graceful moments for our family and around. I thank God for this wonderful Mcowens family, second child also became a priest, holy hands that carry Our Lord. We still remember the very first time met the family and such a beautiful family. holy, very simple and humble. They were very instrumental in our early stages of home education. Times we met in our house, their house, parks, woodlands, swimmings, chit chats, home ed groups together celebrating feasts and fun time. Always inspiring and challenging their life style. Can't thank enough for them in our lives.. May God bless in their new journeys. After the great sung mass, there was a boufet, met many friends and our one of the favourite family we can never forget.

We have a beautiful family accompanies us and the children are our dearest. So we thought to have Cuckoos fourth birthday and mommy Nims also had a baby shower. Had a great day with a few other friends too.

Celebrate 2025

It was a wonderful 5 days festival in Worth Abbey by Celebrate. Jesus youth was in charge of Shine group for year 7 and 8. There were so many groups roaming around and taking care of different ages like Ascent, Mark 10, Joel's bar...The days begin with lovely praise session, leaders prep, breaks, break out rooms, evenig groups, sports time and so on. So great to meet so many wonderful people around the country. Those days were so demanding, although days are more loose too. Children thoroughly enjoyed. Me and my husband and young two kids joined with us. Along with us, joined 6 youth volunteers.It was a blessed time and golden opportunity to work with 20 angels. Worth Abbey is so beautiful and the landscapes were so gorgeous. So many other stations were there to enjoy and get to know other different ministeries working including bereaval support, marriage encounters and so on.
