Welcome to the Chaplain's blog, to all Website Visitors!

I'm just getting to grips with this new opportunity, so please bear with me.

I aim to use this page when I can for reflections about our life in the Venice, Padova and Trieste Chaplaincies, to subsititute for the Parish Magazine which we don't have - its international circulation to all our friends would be a headache! This is a wonderful way of keeping in touch with you all.

I've got a lot to tell you, about events coming up which I'll post on the 'Events' page as soon as I can.

Meanwhile, we are still enjoying the recent memory of Andrew and Shannon's Wedding Blessing, which we held on Monday 18th Feb. They came all the way from Saskatoon, Canada to celebrate their beautiful wedding at St. Anthony Abbot Church, Padova. We wish Andrew and Shannon many blessed years of Marriage and were delighted to be able to give them a happy start.

with Christian greetings,

John-Henry Bowden, Chaplain
