Patrick Sugrue, C.Ss.R. from Dundalk Ireland who is kind enough to minister the parishes while I am away for home visit. He will be here from the 8th to the 17th of November. You can make appointments with him for confessions and spiritual counselling. He is a great missionary and confessor in the charism of St. Alphonsus, the founder of the Redemptorists of whom he is a member. While I am away, Niel Capinpuyan will manage the Presbytery and St. Patrick’s Church. A few month ago, I appointed him our maintenance man. He has been doing well in his job and the Diocese has employed him part time. Most of the time he volunteers for all odd jobs I ask him to do. Any concerns you might want my attention, call his mobile 07877 805067. Rosa is also away. Her second mother Theresa died in China. (Her real mother died when she was a child). Theresa is a devout Chinese Catholic of the Underground church. She brought Rosa and other family members to the Catholic faith despite of the risk of state persecution and prosecution. Rosa is attending her funeral. She will be back on the 17th of November. So matters of her office in the parish and the hall will be taken care of by Niel. For the past few days, a group of volunteers and I have been busy ministering to people in crisis. I have been attending to 2 prisoners, one a parishioner and another a parishioner at Sacred Heart, Bournemouth. I have also been following up and counselling spiritually 2 victims of human trafficking. On sailor is temporarily staying with me as he was found out to have cancer. I will celebrate my 60th birthday with my sisters and brothers and other members of my family doing charity work for the survivors of the greatest ever typhoon Haiyan in my place. I will also be with my former priestly colleagues who are the front line ministers of help in the area. Nov 8 is the first anniversary of the typhoon and it also my birthday.
