“Understanding Our Faith”. These short segments in the Parish Newsletter have now been appearing for over three years. The last few weeks I have been wondering what direction to take with them as we have been through the Mass and the Creed and several other topics over that time.
I got an idea while watching television!!! There was an advertisement for a show called “Who do you think you are?”. A little later over a cup of Irish Breakfast Tea, I thought, ‘there’s an idea’, what about a series called “Who do we think we are?”
The “We” being we the Church. It is important for us all to have a deep sense of our own identity. So who are we as the Church? What is our purpose?
The response to such questions is not simplistic though in a way, it is simple.
I am always very happy to receive questions and proposals from people as to what topics to look at, so if you have suggestions please let me know.
For the moment, we will embark from next week on this new series “Who do we think we are?”

I enjoy that TV series. One question it never asks is “What part does Jesus play in the hearts of the subjects of the series?” They often seek characteristics their ancestors had which they share. Your proposed series will fill this gap well.
