We welcome the arrival of our new Parish Priest, Fr Paul
Keys
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.
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
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 fitted 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.

reconciliation, justice and joy, in praise of You and in service to
the world. May we be one as Your Son, Jesus Christ, prayed
that we might be. With Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit we
give You all honour and glory. Amen
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, please pray for
us.
