From the vestry I can look across the churchyard to the old people's Day Centre opposite. Yesterday while I was getting ready for the midweek Mass I was stood in front of the vestment press doing exactly that. Roy our verger was ringing the Angelus before the service started.
Framed in the big window of the Day Centre beyond the grass, wall, path and yard, I saw a young chap with a lanyard and ID tag round his neck, looking towards the church. As the dongs of the Angelus rang out, he raised his right hand and made the sign of the cross over himself. There is faith somewhere!
