It is a real spiritual boost to be able to be so close to Our Lord. Just looking at some of the pictures I took last year has given me a thrill of anticipation.
I particularly liked the watching through the small hours, though I had a few nervous moments when, knowing that all the altar servers were asleep, I realised that the candles were burning dangerously low... I ended up having to wake up one of them. I was also quite amused by the attutude of some of the youngsters: "Every time we woke up, we saw you sitting there in the front pew... how did you do it?" Heheheheh...
Everyone is welcome to come along for as much or as little as they want. Details of how to get to the parish can be found via the website.
I shall ensure that my super-snazzy camera is gainfully employed during this year's event.

I only hope that I am able to manage to get to Blackfen for this . . . I agree with you; it's such a precious time.
Whether I make it or not, though, be sure that you and everyone will be in my prayers during that time : we are all indebted to Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen, and its priest and people for your encouraging support and prayer - so my thanks to you all.
