This Sunday, being the festival of the birth of the Virgin Mary we celebrated the Eucharist of our Patronal Festival. Father Stephen took his text from the opening of St Mathews Gospel the ancestry of Jesus. Looking into our ancestry has become very popular these days. Father Stephen pointed out that the most important part of this ancestry was the role of Mary accepting to be the mother of Jesus, and from then on we were to be saved from our sins. The Medieval title St Mary our Lady is preserved in the name of our Church, and Father Stephen was happy to have, as his last church, a St Mary out Lady.
