Parishioners in St Michael’s Huntingdon gathered for a Mass on Thanksgiving for the life of service and commitment of HM the Queen on Thursday 2nd June. About 70 people gathered for Mass and joined in singing and celebrating with joy; Fr Philip spoke about the life of commitment and service and the example of family life that the Queen offers to us all. At the end of Mass, we all prayed the prayer for the Queen and then sang two verses of the National Anthem.
After Mass we all enjoyed an international shared lunch. Food from many different parts of the world was laid out in the Good Shepherd Room, from India, the Philippines, from England and from Rwanda and Poland, as well as a BBQ, a very interesting spread. It was the nicest day of the Jubilee holiday, warm and sunny and so we were all able to sit in the garden and enjoy lunch and the chance to meet one another and chat the afternoon away. It was a lovely gathering, wonderful to have the chance to meet socially after so long and to build our community once more.
