St Joseph’s Day<br />
at Oswaldkirk<br />
Fr Edgar Miller, priest-in-charge at St<br />
Aidan’s, Oswaldkirk, periodically holds<br />
lunches for parishioners and others. St<br />
Joseph’s Day was chosen for the latest<br />
event. St Joseph is patron of the carpentry<br />
workshop at the Abbey which Fr Edgar<br />
established ten years ago. This has become<br />
a favourite of many pupils of St Martin’s<br />
<strong>Ampleforth</strong> who take woodwork as one of<br />
their regular activities under Fr Edgar’s<br />
tuition. The celebration began with<br />
Solemn Mass at St Aidan’s where Fr Edgar<br />
was assisted by Fr Peter James and Fr<br />
Marek Zukowski (pictured above right). Fr<br />
Marek, a diocesan priest from the Czech<br />
Republic, has been a regular visitor to<br />
<strong>Ampleforth</strong> in recent years. Guests then<br />
moved across the road to Oswaldkirk<br />
Village Hall where, after grace in Czech,<br />
lunch was served. This had been cooked<br />
by Neil Swailes, a chef at the Monastery.<br />
