Cumbria CA11 9EL Tel: 01768 862273
SOLITUDE
I am a Catholic priest commi�ed to a celibate way of life. Like many Catholic priests, I
live alone. My home is the Rectory at St Catherine’s in Penrith next to the church. July
marked my twen�eth anniversary of ordina�on to the priesthood. For over half of
that �me I have shared a Presbytery/Rectory with other priests and this has been a
posi�ve experience.
In my home at St Catherine’s Rectory, life is busy not solitary; in many ways you are
living over the shop. There is Mass on weekdays for which half a dozen to twenty
people could be present, so there is daily contact with folks. The parish office is
staffed each morning with volunteers, taking phone calls, responding to emails and
dealing with administra�ve tasks. I say to these most helpful people: your job is to keep me out of the office!
In term �me, the day is punctuated by the wonderful sound of children in the
playground next door, at our parish school. It is uncanny to hear the silence during the school holidays! It is for these children, their families and for the school staff that
the ministry of the priest exists. The ministry also exists for the elderly, the sick, the
dying, the bereaved, the couple preparing for marriage, the new-born baby, the growing family, the single person, the worker and the student.
In short, my ministry exists for PEOPLE, so I am rarely alone. Moments of solitude are
welcome, but are a scarce reality. For me, solitary �mes revive the Spirit, especially
the �me for prayer, and this can be easily compromised by the simplest of demands.
To summarise, the ministry of a diocesan priest follows the example of Jesus living an
ac�ve ministry among the people, but taking �me to be alone with the Father. ‘ But Jesus himself would o�en slip away to the wilderness and pray’ (Luke 5:16).Father John

What to do in the garden in September
This month’s (�mely �ps) What to do and what to sow
September is here, and there’s plenty to be done while you’re outside enjoying the last of the
year’s warmth. Harves�ng crops will keep you busy this month. And there’s plenty of work to
do �dying and maintaining plants and equipment.
Keep camellias and rhododendrons well watered at this �me of year to ensure that next
year's buds develop well.
Divide herbaceous perennials as the weather cools and water in the new divisions well
Cut bean and pea plants away at ground level when they have finished cropping. Leave the
roots which will slowly release nitrogen back into the soil as they break down.
In the greenhouse/indoors Surface-sow euphorbia seeds now in trays indoors
Sow dierama seed now on the surface of moist compost. Keep in a cool greenhouse over
winter .
Sow calendula seeds in pots now and keep in a cold frame, for fruity colour from early
summer next year.
Sow violas in a cold frame to plant out in the spring.
Sow aquilegia, aconitum and hollyhocks in a cold frame now
From the Armchair
Order your sweet pea seeds to start in cold frames in October
Buy in autumn onion sets for early summer harves�ng next year
Order rhubarb crowns and asparagus crown to plant next month
Pondering from the po�ng shed
Talent is God-given, so be humble. God's gi�s are not on shelves one above the other so that the taller you grow the easier you reach them. They are on shelves one below the other so
that by bending lower you get his best. Jeremiah declares, "The Lord says, 'Wise men should
not boast of their wisdom, or strong men of their strength, or rich men of their wealth. If
anyone wants to boast, he should boast that he knows and understands me" (Jeremiah 9:23-24 Paul asks “Who made you to be superior to others? Didn’t God jive you everything you
have? Well then how can you boost as if what you have were not a gi� (1 Corinthians 4:7)?
Fame is man-given, so be grateful. Fla�ery is like perfume: it is meant to be sniffed, not
swallowed. It quickly becomes addic�ve. Pride enslaves us to the opinions of others. What
they think controls our lives.
Conceit is self-given, so be careful. Remember the steamboat: it had a six foot boiler and a
nine foot whistle. Every �me the whistle blew it took so much steam the engine stopped.
Remember the frog who saw the ducks flying south for the winter. When he asked them why,
they said, "Because it is warmer there." He said, "I'd like to do that too." So he found a s�ck
and asked two ducks to take each end in their mouth while he held on with his mouth in the
middle. It worked! Then as they flew over Caltech an engineering student saw them and said,
"That's amazing. I wonder who thought of that." The frog answered, "I did!
"Pride has two seasons: a forward spring and an early fall. "Pride Goes before destruc�on and
a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18)
Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and he will li� you up in his good �me

Garden Party Maple Cro� – August 2019
It was a Garden Party on a Sunday a�ernoon. The garden looked very colourful and the new
pond was doing well. However it was raining and wet – not what was planned! Actually it did not ma�er too much as a marque had been arranged and we were all able to sit at
tables under cover and keep dry.
Hos�ng the a�ernoon at their home Maple Cro�, Skelton were David and Rachel Jones, The
first class tea and drinks were almost over generous.
The event was well a�ended and had a large raffle and a quiz on gardens (which was won by
Jim Mills). At the end Jim thanks our hosts and the rest of the team that had organized the
a�ernoon which was a great success and most enjoyable despite the low temperatures and
rain. £370 were received to go towards the funds of St Michael's Church in the village.

Christ & St Mary’s ArmathwaiteOpen Gardens – A belated ‘thank you’ to everyone who contributed in anyway towards making the Open Gardens a huge success this year. The sun shone and lots of people came
and supported the event which raised £2005. This sum has been divided equally between
the Old School Hall and the Church.
Tent Poles - Has anyone got a couple of “spare” tent poles hiding in their garage or shed which would fit the gazebo which we use for selling the �ckets at Open Gardens?
Unfortunately a large gust of wind got under the tent during the Sunday a�ernoon and two
poles were badly damaged. We could do with replacing two poles one which is labelled
“2A” and measures 1m in length; 20mm in diameter at the ends and 22mm diameter along
its length, the second is not labelled but measures 1m in length and 22mm diameter along
its en�re length. Anyone who thinks they may have suitable spare poles please contact Sue
Bonsor 016974-72054.

The Revd Phillip Dorling's 'Goodbye' – August 2019
The Revd Phillip Dorling, rector of the seven churches in the Inglewood Group, is leaving
Cumbria to take up a posi�on at Scargill House at Ke�lewell in Yorkshire. This is a
Chris�an Retreat, Holiday and Conference Centre, part of the Scargill Movement.
Jacquie, his wife (who has also been an important person in the parish not only as a
musician) and his two children, Freddie and Grace go with him. they leave with all our
good wishes. He has been with us for six and a half years and we shall miss them all.
The seven PCCs organized a lovely 'goodbye' evening for the family, thanks to Lord and
Lady Inglewood, it took place in the Rose Garden at Hu�on-in-the-Forest. Thanks to the ladies at Hu�on the sit-down dinner was excellent, the weather was also perfect. Phillip was presented with a small memento from each church to remind him of a few unique,
and some�mes bizarre, incidences which had happened in each one - this was all great fun. A cheque from everyone was also presented.
His final service was last Sunday at St Michael's Skelton – a sad but at the same �me an
important occasion for each of us to be able to say goodbye. The service included
contribu�ons from individuals of the different congrega�ons – the music was provided
by the Revd Brian Dawson, Jacquie and Dinah George. Following the Gospel reading of
the parable of the rich farmer and how he planned to store his wealth: Phillip preached
about the 'I' / 'thou' rela�onships as he called them and the importance of sharing,
respec�ng and loving, especially in a rural community.
Later there was a bring-and-share lunch which was excellent and allowed each of us to
say a personal 'goodbye', 'thank you' and 'God's speed' to each.

Toppins – July 2019We Rescue, Care and Rehome. This is the mo�o of the Animal Rescue Centre, a
purpose built setup situated at Moorlands Head Farm, Newbiggin, Temple Sowerby.
The Manager, Sarah Bean and a Trustee, Jenny Whi�ield were the speakers at the July
mee�ng of the Toppins group at Skelton.
The talk did not quite go to according to plan, however, as there were technical
difficul�es with the equipment and the special film, prepared for the occasion, could
not be shown. But the evening was a great success as there were many animal photos
available, and a unique story lay behind each and everyone. Through these stories we
learned how the charity was managed and run. Further, there was so much
enthusiasm and hands on experience to impart, one could not be less than highly
Engaged throughout the presenta�on.
This is a charity; it receives no Government money and relies en�rely on the public for
all its funds. Its buildings are good and up-to-date but the care and service given to all its inmates, costs a lot of money. There has to be staff there 24 hours a day to clean
and supervise the animals and arrange for adop�ons, animal supervision and
interac�ons with the public – then there are buildings to maintain and many money
raising events to oversee.
There are two houses on the spot for the manager and assistant manager. They are
helped by another full-�me member of staff, a few part-�mers and a number of
volunteers. There is also a dog behaviourist and, of course, medical help which has to
be called in as and when required. The Centre caters for dogs and cats, also a few
ferrets and rabbits.
The centre costs £17,000 a month to run so money raising is a constant priority. There
is an Eden Animal Rescue shop in Great Dockray, Penrith; this run by volunteers who
do a very good job. Otherwise there is membership of the charity, regular dona�ons
and a number of different money raising ac�vi�es. Also there is a small team of
volunteers do a splendid job actually handling the animals individually and cleaning out
their homes – these are joined by a few students from Newton Rigg who go there to
gain prac�cal hands on experience with animals.
It was a most interes�ng evening. It is always special when the speakers are so
enthusias�c. Sarah said she will return to show us the film that we should have seen!
In June the group met at Deer Rudding, Hesket New Market, for a fascina�ng tour of
the gardens and then onto lunch at Mae's Restaurant at Uldale. The weather was good
and it was a lovely day out thanks to Stella Jackson who arranged it all.

Armathwaite residents are mourning the loss of o�ers and kingfishers sighted at
Armathwaite Place over the last 12 months. The new owners of Armathwaite Place had
made efforts to protect vulnerable natural habitats by erec�ng temporary fencing and
signs to exclude the river bank from dogs (on two and four legs!) but vandals have
repeatedly torn down the fence so that numerous dogs and humans have had
access to the river bank nes�ng sites.
Following a visit from The Rivers Trust earlier this year we decided to take steps to
protect the nes�ng sites (which are on Private property) but local vandals have seen fit
both to trespass on private land and threaten vulnerable animals. Meanwhile
Armathwaite Place is also trying to encourage red squirrels back to the village but it is
very distressing that investment in local wildlife preserva�on is so easily wrecked by a
handful of an�-social vandals who assume it is their right to go where they chose and
cause damage to other peoples’ property.
This has resulted in the loss to all users of the footpath the opportunity to observe
wonderful animals in their natural environment from a safe distance. Meanwhile
Mountain Bikers con�nue to ride over footpaths where responsible dog owners are
walking their dogs on a loose lead and running the risk of injury to children, adults and
dogs alike. Bikers know perfectly well that they are not allowed to cycle on public
footpaths but they seem to feel en�tled to ride roughshod over the enjoyment and
safety of legi�mate walkers of all ages.
So if locals know the iden�ty of these vandals please would they remind them of the
damage they do by their selfish, irresponsible and illegal ac�vi�es. Alterna�vely if
walkers observe these vandals and can photograph them as they trespass or damage
the environment perhaps they can be named and shamed. Something needs to be done
if we are to protect our lovely environment in conjunc�on with private land owners or
Forest Enterprise to preserve the reasonable enjoyment of all in our villages. It is a great
shame that village children will not be able to study a family of o�ers growing up on
their doorstep or seeing kingfishers in flight; It is possible that this is the fault of a single
arrogant and ignorant local resident. Let us hope we will all be ready to welcome back
red squirrels when they have a safe environment in which to raise their young and that
at some future �me another family of o�ers will feel safe enough to rear a family on the
river at Armathwaite.

Welcome Gary!
Members of the Inglewood Group of churches joined a large congrega�on at St Andrew’s
Church, Penrith, recently to welcome Canon Gary Cregeen as the new Penrith Mission
Area Leader and Penrith Mission Community Leader.
In 2016 Cumbria’s Church Leaders from the Salva�on Army, Church of England, Methodist
and United Reformed Churches signed a Covenant Declara�on to work more closely with
each other. Intrinsic to this vision is the se�ng up of Mission Communi�es across the
whole of Cumbria. Mission Communi�es are communi�es of Chris�ans coming together
as the Church of Christ across tradi�ons, congrega�ons and denomina�ons to share the
Good News about Jesus Christ in word and deed. Across the Penrith Mission Area, the
East of Eden Mission Community has already been launched and Methodist & Anglican
colleagues work as a team across that area. The Penrith Mission Community, serving the
town itself and working very closely with Churches Together in Penrith will be launched
on Sunday 29th September. While the area to the west of Penrith, stretching from
Pa�erdale to Ivegill, will be a key aspect of Gary’s ini�al work as the Church considers the
most effec�ve, sustainable use of clergy resources and the best ways to enable church
growth.
Canon Cregeen is Cumbrian born and bred. Prior to ordina�on in 2000 he worked in
industry and local government. For the last 7 years Gary has served as a Team Rector in
Barrow-in-Furness, where he was also Rural Dean of Barrow, Barrow Mission Community
Leader and Chaplain to the Mayor of Barrow. Previously he was Vicar of Scotby, Cotehill
and Cumwhinton, and Rural Dean of Brampton. In 2014 he was appointed Honorary
Canon of Carlisle Cathedral.
Gary, who is married to Julie, a Senior Teaching Assistant, said, “It is with joy and
an�cipa�on that Julie and I have made the move to Penrith and I am very much looking
forward to serving the Penrith Mission Area and as Penrith Mission Community Leader.
We have moved to this area with a deep love of Jesus Christ and a knowledge of the
transforming effect a personal rela�onship with Jesus can have on individuals and
communi�es.”
Since 2016 there has been huge progress in local Churches working together closer than
ever. The service at the end of June was an opportunity to celebrate the ‘journey’ so far,
to recognise the call Chris�an’s share and to commit to mov
ing forward together to ensure ‘every person in Cumbria of all ages and backgrounds will have an opportunity to discover more of God and God's purpose for their lives, so that they will discover more of Jesus and the Good News and become followers of Jesus within a Chris�an community.’
Following the departure of the Revd Philip Dorling Gary will be
working closely with the Inglewood Group of Churches, to
determine the needs and opportuni�es for Chris�an ministry
in the area and to provide support and encouragement in
