The Requiem Mass for our Parish Priest Canon Philip Dyson who died on Sunday 18th August, took place at our church in Penzance on 26th September. Please pray for the repose of his soul. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Father Philip’s Anniversary Window: The window of St John Henry Newman that many parishioners and friends generously collected for, to mark his Silver Jubilee as a priest of the Plymouth Diocese was installed on 21st August.  It looks stunning (in his own words) and he saw the photograph of the finished window before he died. The St Eugene de Mazenod window next to St Newman’s window was generously funded by a parishioner in gratitude of his ministry, for which we as a parish are very grateful. .. click here for larger file

Medjugorje: message for the world via visionary Marija on September 25th 2024: “Dear children! Out of love towards you, God has sent me among you, to love you and encourage you to prayer and conversion, for peace in you and in your families and in the world. Little children, do not forget that true peace comes only through prayer from God, Who is your peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”  ~ more from Medjugorje
