THE SANDRINGHAM SENTINEL August 2017 Welcome to the Summer edition! The year is flying by and it has been busy as ever at the practice. Welcome to the team! We have seen several new arrivals to our team here at Sandringham over the last few months. We welcome George Gratton and Amy Sampson to our admin team and nurse, Julie Utley to our clinical team. We are delighted to have them all on board. Farewells… In July we said goodbye to nurse Ann Whitaker and receptionist Pat Innes. We would all like to thank them for their invaluable contribution to the practice over the years and wish them all the very best. Congratulations! Well done to our nurse Sam Gratton who passed her Minor illness Course earlier this year. Research at the practice… Sandringham Practice has a long tradition of hosting research. Dr Hassan was research lead approximately 3 and a half years ago. Dr Vicary has taken up this role and we are once again a research practice. This is an exciting development and is an opportunity to have an active role in improving healthcare. Some of you will already have been invited to take part in the ALLHEART study. Please be assured that involvement with any research is of course entirely voluntary. If you are invited and decide ultimately not to take part, it will not adversely affect your care in any way. Staff development… We are always looking at the needs of our patients and how best these needs can be met. As a result we are constantly looking at staff development, giving staff opportunities to learn new skills in order to best serve our patient population and further their own personal development. It may be that as a result, you may see a nurse for certain procedures/reviews that you previously saw a doctor for, or a Healthcare assistant, when you might previously have seen a nurse. Please rest assured that staff receive all the relevant training required to perform ANY duty. Have we got your correct details on record? PLEASE ensure we have your up to date contact details. Many of you will be aware that we are increasingly using text message as a means of communication, and as a reminder service for appointments. It will only work though if we have your correct number!

The Season of Lent and the Blessed Virgin Mary The commentary in the Sacramentary of the Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the votive Mass, "Holy Mary, Disciple of the Lord," says about Lent: Lent is a "journey" for the faithful, during which they "more diligently listen to the word of God and devote themselves to prayer with greater earnestness" [SC 109], and during which they are ready to bear the cross with greater zeal, so that with minds and hearts renewed they may reach a more worthy celebration of the Easter festival. In this way they show themselves true disciples of Christ, hearing his words and seeking to make them their own (see Luke 8:15), following in his footsteps in self-denial, (see Matthew 16:24) and striving to stand by his cross in faithful witness. (see John 19:26) The Blessed Virgin Mary was such a disciple. One of the prefaces in the Marian Mass, "The Commending of the Blessed Virgin Mary," sums up the Marian outlook for Lent: Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks. Pray 3 Hail Mary … At the foot of the of Jesus, by his solemn and dying wish, a deep bond of love is fashioned between the Blessed Virgin Mary and his faithful disciples: the Mother of God is entrusted to the disciples as their own mother, and they receive her as a precious inheritance from their Master. Pray 3 Hail Mary … She is to be forever the mother of those who believe, and they will look to her with great confidence in her unfailing protection. She loves her Son in loving her children, and in heeding what she says they keep the words of their Master. Pray 3 Hail Mary … Through him the angels of heaven offer their prayer of adoration as they rejoice in your presence for ever. May our voice be one with theirs in their triumphant hymn of praise. Pray 3 Hail Mary …

The Southern branch passes through the city of Gothenburg providing more than 700 000 people with drinking water. Gota River is utilized as a shipping channel and allows for ship transport of goods both in the upstream and downstream direction. The total fall height between lake Vänern and the sea is 44 meters. This is used for producing hydropower through a highly regulated water flow in several water power plants, corresponding to a total effect of approximately 300 MW. Gota River constitutes a recipient for wastewater from industries, sewage treatment plants and individual sewers as well as stormwater from urban areas and nutrient input from agriculture in the valley.

This window in of Pius X, Pope and Saint (1835-1914), who initiated changes affecting the liturgy, Eucharistic worship, religious instruction and canon law. St. Pius X did more than any other single pope to promote early First Communion and the practice of Frequent Communion, started the research behind a revised breviary, and appointed a group to investigate possible revisions in the Holy Mass. St. Pius X was canonized on May 29, 1954. SEBASTIAN RASLE, S.J. NARANTSOUAC 1693-1724 Recalling history, this window is in memory of one of the earliest missionaries to this area, Father Sebastian Rasle, who, about 1695, came down from Quebec to take charge of the mission to the Norridgewock Indians. In his years of ministry he came to know well the channels and trials across what is now Skowhegan. Twice each summer he went to the coast with his flock, carrying with him all things needed for the creation of a temporary chapel and the celebration of the Holy Mass, for which he used, as he wrote in a letter, bayberries melted down and molded into candles. On August 23 of 1724, Father Rasle was slain at the door of his church during the attack of Narantsouac (Norridgewock). When the troops started the next morning on their return journey they left the village in flames and heaped with its dead; and it is said that a bundle of Indian scalps, together with that of Father Rasle, were carried back to Boston. GABRIEL DRUILLETTES, S.J. KENNEBEC 1646-1654 Again, recalling more local history of the early missionaries to this area, this window is also dedicated to the memory of one of the very earliest, Father Gabriel Druillettes, who in 1646 came from Sillery, a Jesuit mission to the Indians, situated a few
