2019: January. Things have or are starting up again
following the long break because of the total refurbishment of
the crypt in Penzance. There are still works to be done, but we can use most of downstairs, and you will find all downstairs
warmer. Morning Prayer followed by the Holy Rosary is on
days when there is no Mass in Penzance. Refreshments after Monday Mass have begun.
Some groups and information:-
Proclaim 15 Prayer: Loving Father, You so loved the world that you sent us Your only Son, that we might believe in Him
and have eternal life. May we encounter Jesus Christ anew this day and live the Good News with joy. Through the power
of Your Holy Spirit, help us to ‘go out to the whole world and proclaim’ our faith with confidence. Give us the courage to
witness the joy of the Gospel by our words and actions. Help our parish to become more welcoming and missionary, so
that You may be known and loved by all people. We make this prayer through Our Lord Jesus Christ Your Son, who lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever, Amen. Our Lady Star of the New
Evangelisation, Pray for us. Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for us. St Therese of Lisieux, Pray for us.
