The Mazarrón Pudding Club was formed by its President Reg Croxford 4 years ago. Reg Croxford had previously been the founding Secretary of a highly successful Pudding Club in Whitstable, Kent and since coming to Spain missed the traditional steak and kidney pudding. The club initially started with 8 members and has steadily grown to its current limit of 25 members. It meets 6 times a year i.e. every other month in different restaurants during the year, wherever a suitable meat pudding can be obtained. Wives are invited to the December and May luncheons. It is managed by an Executive Committee comprising the President, Reg Croxford, Honorary Secretary, Bert Cardnell, and an Honorary Treasurer, Brian Jermyn. Membership is 10€ per year and a charity collection of 2€ per diner is made at each luncheon. The money collected is entered into a draw that is held at the Annual General Meeting in September. The names of all members are put into a hat and the winner whose name is picked out designates the Charity to which the money is given. In previous years 300€ was given to MABS, 300€ was donated to CARITAS in the form of food and provisions and last year 400€ was donated to a Charity in aid of feeding the poor and homeless in Cartagena. This year the Club decided unanimously to dispense with the members “Draw” and make a donation of 400€ to the Lorca Earthquake Relief Fund. New members are welcomed initially to dine as visitors and contact may be made to the Secretary Bert Cardnell tel 679 789 925 Mass in English: Is celebrated every Saturday at the Catholic chapel at Pastrana, approximately 10km from Mazarrón Schedule of Masses: Saturday at 4:30pm Schedule of Confession: Saturday from 3:45 to 4:25pm also on request Catechism for Adults and Bible Study: Every Sunday at 4:30pm (beginning in September) Fr.

In fact, from birth to the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father wanted to show once and for all how much we are loved, how important we are, how precious we are to His merciful heart.

As He entered the village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When He saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. Then Jesus asked: Were not ten healed? But the other nine, where are they? The fact is that if we are real Christians (followers of Christ) then we should be moved by those who are suffering, and we should be driven to act to see if we can contribute in any way to alleviate that suffering that is what being a Christian means. That is what love is, love of our neighbour, our neighbour being all mankind. Also to remember to pray for those who have gone before us, including those we know and those we don’t know, this is an important act of love and mercy, and it is this love and mercy that wins us our own immortality. Oh, how pleasing to God is the soul that follows faithfully the inspirations of His grace! I (Mary) gave the Saviour to the world; as for you (St. Faustina), you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Saviour, but as a Just Judge.
