As is clearly visible in this photograph all is well in the life of Benedict Peter Tomlinson who has been very busy growing at an alarming rate. After only 7 weeks he had outgrown his 3month old clothing and now that he is 12 weeks the growth shows little sign of abating!! What a wonderfully healthy little lad the Lord has blessed us with.
Which leads to a problem- Benedict is still a little heathen and in need of baptism within the family of God. I am therefore delighted to announce that this sacrament will be administered by the +Fulham on July 11th during the 10am Solemn Mass. If liturgically savvy then you may realise that this date is the feast of Saint Benedict which makes for a fitting occasion indeed. Everyone is invited and we hope to see you there….
…more details to follow later but expect the bells and whistles! (A kindly priest in Sevenoaks has already promised the loan of a relic of Saint Benedict!)
We’ve put the date in our diary!
“A kindly priest in Sevenoaks has already promised the loan of a relic of Saint Benedict!”
If that old relic doesn’t materialise, maybe you could use a bit of Pope Benedict…
