Just called into the Rosary Parish Social Club to drop off their post and the latest update on the Hall Bookings. Siobhan (20) was there, together with Dave and Denise. Siobhan introduced me to Carling's new product "Edge": bottled beer with a citrus additive. It's one of those young people's drinks that you glug out of the bottle - it's actually very refreshing.
We got to talking about the various trips that she went on with the Faith group in the parish, with stories about freezing at Stonyhurst, singing "Vindaloo" at the end of a Scots Ceilidh, and (when they were all about 12 or 13), stealing Father's sandals because they didn't want to be seen out with him wearing them.
Siobhan was eloquent about how much they all enjoyed the Faith group trips despite the ribbing they got from their peers for going on a "religious holiday". She has volunteered to help with a new group so that must be a high priority this term ...

Dear Fr Tim. Your blog is a must-read! But WHERE CAN WE GET THE "I SUPPORT THE POPE" STICKERS?? You seem to show one on your blog, but don't mention where they can be bought or downloaded or whatever.
PS Don't worry to much about the Tablet. It's an age-thing. Most younger Catholics only comunicate via the Internet. They gets their news from blogs, websites, or emails. This is not very good news for those of us who make our living from Catholic journalism - but in many ways it's god news for fredom of information and a healthy life in the Church!
I'm afraid the "sticker" is only a virtual one at the moment. In the USA, you can get things printed at the Cafe Press which is where I got all my Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club merchandise.
To get the sticker for your blog, just right click on it and then click "save image as" and you can save it to your hard disk and use it where you like in the virtual world.
