Please find below a recoding of Father Richard's Homily given on Saturday 4 May 2013
Visitors are welcome to attend Mass on Saturdays at 6pm |

 Despite a regular attendance of twenty people it has been planned to close the Chapel
Over 60 years ago the Chapel situated in a barn at Tinkers Hill, Furneux Pelham was established by the Lake family and is beautifully decorated by carvings from Catholic prisoners of war held in Hadham Hall. By the end of July 2013 the Chapel of the Annuciation (Catholic) will be closed.
The decision has been taken because of several factors including:
- Costly repairs needed to maintain the Chapel Building
- Shortage of ordained clergy
- The 'moral' issue of taking or "poaching" potential attendees from other local Catholic churches in the diocese
This seems such a shame especially as local people are regularly attending and that Mass held at 6pm on Saturday evenings is led by the particularly 'live wire' Father Richard from Thaxted. |
