If you have anything you would like to share, not just with the parish but with the wide world, here is your chance! Just as with Living Water (the former parish magazine), please send contributions to Gwen at gwen@chiosso.com and they can be posted up here.
Tribute to Geoff Carlton
Geoff was a kind and unassuming gentleman who returned to the parish in his retirement. His neighbour Sheena paid a glowing tribute to him at his funeral on 19 October. She bought the house next door to Geoff (by then a widower) some years ago, and as she moved in after having months of work done on the house, Geoff turned up with a bottle of champagne to welcome her to the neighbourhood. This was when she realised what a caring person he was.
Zoom Light Party 2020!
For the last few years St. John’s, Welling have held a Light Party as an alternative to Halloween for primary school aged children. As they won’t be able to hold a party in the church hall this year, they have come up with an alternative.

Your Legacy of Faith
Remember the Church with a gift in your Will. As Catholics, we believe in the sanctity of life; a precious gift from God. We strive to live life joyfully and faithfully, in the hope we will return to our Creator after a natural death, to enjoy eternal life with Him. When you move onto the next life, you can make your lifetime of faith live on through a gift in your Will.
Where Is The Pope In The Bible?
The biblical and historical roots of the Papacy trace back to the dawn of Christianity. In this article, I plan to provide a biblical defence of the Papacy, by unpacking Matthew 16 through the lens of Isaiah 22.
