Letter from Plymouth Diocese:
Dear parishioners of Holy Family Parish, Penzance, My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of grief
and loss. Fr Philip was a good and faithful priest who gave of himself generously, selflessly, with humour and love. He
was an example of faith to us all particularly in his last few months when it became clear that he would not recover from
his cancer. I know that each of us will have stories and reminiscences of Fr Philip, and I would encourage you to
share them with each other and celebrate the love that he gave so readily. In that way we support each other and
remind ourselves of the truth that love is sacred and comes ultimately from God himself.
Please keep Fr Philip, his family and all who knew him in your prayers. In that way we accompany Fr Philip, and each other, in our pilgrimage of faith until we all meet again in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the
faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
May God bless you all
Canon Paul Cummins, Diocesan Administrator

The sea
is all around our wide parish, so Sea Sunday
which was on 14th July is always and important reminder of
the work of Stella Maris. Seafarers and fishers play a vital role
in all our lives, but they often work in difficult, hazardous
conditions. The Church prays for all those who live and work at
sea. Your support will make a big difference to seafarers and
fishers in need. A retiring collection was held - you can also
donate by visiting stella maris, or by texting ‘SEA’ to 70460 to
donate £5. This collection is vital to enable Stella Maris to
continue its important work, so please give generously. Thank you.
