Having been a ‘relaxed’ Catholic for 25 years and just this past year come back to attend as my teenage daughter plays the organ at Church, I have found with selecting Hymns etc. that I have a better understanding of the Mass and this time I’m enjoying a ‘Me’ time with God – not Catholic guilt at not attending. I have always checked and greatly valued your suggestions each week. There are a few ‘good’ churches over the ‘East’ if you wish to venture further! Continue on please.

However – priests come and they go. The community remains.

If you can’t fulfil or express your gifts in one environment, find another – a supportive one.

And keep in contact with your original community. They appreciate having someone removed but who understands to talk to!

We move about from place to place for work, and have to keep starting again, and it’s always difficult, but keep using the web if you can – I know lots of people value your site (as well as us). I can’t get my home parish even to consider using my music, so the Internet makes it all worth while. Let’s hope it’s just a question of one door closing so another can open.

Good musicians aren’t as easy to find as they used to be, so I hope you find a new home where your talents can be used soon, both for that parish’s and your spiritual benefit.

I’ve not heard of Neocats before and had to Google to find info on them.

The amount of power that a priest has to autocratically destroy a community has disturbed me for a long time. I’ve been fortunate that very few I’ve encountered have chosen to exercise it in. But the fact that they can is just so wrong.

Glad you’ve got alternative spiritual communities to tap into, praying for you.

Mary
