CHURCH. = This week I had the joy of attending two services at Our Lady Of Lourdes & St. Joseph in Leigh-on-sea. On Tuesday, Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, plus the Saturday Evening Vigil mass yesterday.

I have to say (not just because I have devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes) this church is my absolute favourite in the Essex, UK region. Services are traditional (sometimes even with Latin verse), the parish are respectful to visitors & the parish priest gives sermons (homily) that are so clear it makes you want to listen close to the teaching being given. It just helps provide a complete experience that I crave from a traditional RC service. -iLOVE it.
