We were very pleased to welcome Fr Pius to St Paul’s in May and wish Fr David well as he moves to Northampton. Fr Pius has written to introduce himself:
“My name is Fr Pius Amoako, a priest for
the Catholic Diocese of Northampton. I had my priestly formation at St Mary’s College, Oscott. I was ordained on the 4th July 2015 at Northampton Cathedral by Bishop Peter Doyle. My first appointment was as an assistant priest at St. Edward’s Parish in Kettering. In 2017, I was transferred to St Barnabas cluster parishes in Milton Keynes. In March 2021 Bishop
David appointed me Parish Priest to serve the Catholic Churches in Oundle, Thrapston and Raunds. On Sunday 16th May, my first Mass
in the parish, I received a very warm welcome from the parishioners I met. I am very grateful to all of you for making me feel welcome. I am looking forward to contributing and serving these glorious communities. Please keep me in your prayers that the Holy Spirit will guide and guard me to serve you in accordance with the will and plans of God.”

In May last year I wrote about July 2020, hoping we’d be ushering in the “new normal”. Was not to be!! But a year on that hope is still there, only now with a little more confidence.
Hopefully we now are easing restrictions, and fully back to holding worship services in the church. In the meantime, however, please do keep an eye on our website (www. thrapstonbaptist.co.uk) to check that we are meeting in the church.
In any event recordings of the services are available via our website (www.thrapstonbaptist. co.uk/podcasts)
