I apologise now if this thread upsets anyone but as it's Easter Sunday I thought I may be able to slide this article in without too many forumites having a fit. I escorted my wife and daughter to Catholic 9.30 am Mass today in the town centre. The church was packed and to use the Air Traffic Control terminology there were about 900 souls in the congregration. The mass and choir was probably the best since my latin days. As we were leaving the church the 11 o'clock mass in Polish was going to start. The queues to enter the church were amazing and the towns traffic gridlocked.
Who said that religion was dying out amongst the young?
As a matter of no importance for many years the catholics were not allowed to build a church on the island by the Methodist ruling senate. When permission was eventually granted it was on the proviso that the stone used had to be shipped from France and they would not be allowed to use the Jersey granite stone found in abundance over here.
Not something in todays PC world that would be allowed.
