Message from Fr Michael 13th May 2012
Picture the European Union as a dysfunctional family. One child has been feckless and profligate and doesn’t want to be punished. Another child says it jolly well doesn’t see why, just because of its own prudence, it should have to give up any of its pocket money to its sister. But if it doesn’t, then all the money the bankers have lent to the naughty sister will have to be “written off”, and they’ll probably pay themselves huge bonuses for making such a loss. Jesus told us about an old father who ran to forgive a profligate and a thrifty elder brother who sulked. Then He told us about a creditor who, to his own loss, cheerfully wiped out an unrepayable mountain of debt. (This is not a neat allegory - it’s a messy parable. Think about it!)
Sometimes described as a hidden gem in the middle of Hanover you can find the Church of the Annunciation on a hillside amid the terraced housing of the area, which means you might miss us! Visitors often tell us they are struck by the beauty of the church and describe it as a haven of shelter and a place of prayer.
Worship here is firmly within the modern catholic tradition and Sunday Mass is central to our life. Our main worship is at 11 am on Sunday morning and all are welcome to join us. Our motto is ‘faith family and fun’ and our family life on Sundays continues with coffee after mass - a chance to chat and get to know people a little better.
We look forward to seeing you soon at the Annunciation, the jewel on the hill.
