Having previously managed three parishes across five Welsh villages, Father Clive's new workload is somewhat lighter than it was, though like every other priest he is busy with the parish's Christmas celebrations. In recent days, he has seen all the infant schools in the parish's Nativity plays, administered Holy Communion to a man in hospital, put up the church Christmas tree during the Knit and Natter group meeting and hosted a carol service, all on top of saying Mass every day.
