en Jubilee of English Martyrs
By Gwen Pemberton
The jubilee Mass was
celebrated by his
Excellency J..M
Sherlock, Bishop of
London:, with Msgr. J.A.
Cook and Msgr. W.
Bourdeau concelebrating
last Sunday. The latter,
as Pastor, introduced the
Bishop and- warmly
welcomed him on his
second visit to this church
and thanked him for
coming this time to help
celebrate the Jubilee. -
His Excellency,
' reminded of his visit last
summer, told us that two
days afterwards, having
returned to Grand Bend,
he had fallen off a bicycle
and fractured his skull.
He hoped that his
"pontifical array" would
protect him this time.
• In his homily, he spoke
of the Scripture readings
for the day which dealt,
specifically with our
fidelity to Christ. The
Good Samaritan parable
was directly related to
the Jesuit and other
.missionaries. who, .over .a
century ago, came to this
area to see the religious
needs of the ,Indians and
early setters.particAar uit priest at
One
,
__that -time. _was a Father
Moncoq who. travelled to
-the east coast of Lake
Huron from 1850 to 1854
when, on a sick call, he
fell through the ice and
drowned. This was a man
who truly carried the
word of God "on his
mind, on his lips and in
his heart".
Bishop Sherlock urged
his listeners to remember
that they are inheritors of
that faith, SO
courageously implanted,
and their commitment to
it must prevail in daily
life carrying the word of
God "on our minds, on
.our. lips. itn.&____in -our.
hearts".
The Bishop. continues:
"The word must become
a reality because it
contains all truths, life
and being. The concrete
form of his faith can be
found in Our Lord Jesus
Christ".
His Excellency said
that we have existed in
Christ always and in Him
is found our true being.
By our faith we have
made a covenant with
Him for time and eternity
and it is up to us to honour
our commitment through
concrete expression, It
was because of this
commitment, the Bishop
added-, - -that - -the
missionaries came here
to encourage the practice,
of the faith, ' a faith that
was partially expressed
by the uilding of
churches -t -- show.- that
Christ - is part o(man'.s
daily existence and that
commitment to His
Gospel love, compassion
and concern towards the
neighbour.
The by
speaker
ended
expressing the gratitude
of the present
congregation to the small
original flock of the
churcIC of the English
Martyrs (built in 1906 by
the , Methodists of
Bayfield, deed to the
Diocese of London, Nov.
20th 1929 and donated
finally to it, July 13th,
1930.
'After the cele-b-t-mtron of
the Mass, a plaque
commemorating this
Golden. Jubilee was
unveiled and blessed. It
matches the one installed
fifty years ago. Both are
;low hanging in the
church vestibule. •

He also told us of the

forgotten his cassock and
so improvised by pinning
one of the altar boy's

began to pop after the

For the past two weeks,
Knox' summer student
minister Ron Harris has
been focussing on
Evangelism in the
Sunday serviceS.• The
theme of the July 13th
sermon ("The Spiritual
Symphony") was that the
Gospel message is to
"ring out" from the local
church into the com-
munity as the
_congregation submits to
the transforming power
of the .Scripture by
obedient and repentant
living.
As a practical follow-up
to these messages, Ron
will conduct a "Sharing
Your Faith" lecture -
discussion on Thursday,
July 31st at Knox
