New HOPe
I am happy to announce that we have a new House of Prayer (HOPe) in Oxford which is at the house of Przemek and Aneta.
Przemek and Aneta have been faithful visiting our house of prayer for over one year and now after becaming members of Koinonia John the Baptist they have started a new ministry, which has already shown fruits with three new people visiting their HOPe.
I am also very happy that Przemek and Aneta are receiving support from Dominika who will also carry this ministry as a new Koinonia member.
Happy birthday HOPe No. 2 ! (Born on 13th May 2008)

Warm welcome at the Sacred Heart parish
For a long time now we were looking for a local parish where we as Koinonia John the Baptist in Oxford could get involved as a community rather then as individuals.
We have recently got contact details for father David Hartley whom we called and who invited us immediately for a “get to know” meeting at his parish, where we just went yesterday.
“The House of my Heart for all peoples” Our church community is very varied and includes people from many races and nations. We hope to see you soon! May God bless you today.
The above statement I have just found on the parish web-page and I really must confirm, that we felt very welcomed and encouraged to get involved in the parish community life.
Now it is up to us to answer to this calling and I am already very excited about it.

Pentecost 2008
Pentecost 2008 was a special time for us. Firstly, Pentecost is the time, where we celebrate the coming of Holy Spirit 2000 years ago, as well as every day since to all those who believe in Jesus, the Christ.
Secondly, seven members of Oxford’s House of Prayer, became members of Koinonia John the Baptist for a period of one year and Elizabeth prolonged her membership for another three years.
This were indeed good reasons to celebrate.
Pentecost Mass 2008
Father Jan is now a frequent guest at the polish parish in Oxford. Father Krzysztof Pajak has again invited father Jan to celebrate the holy mass while he is visiting Oxford – and it was a blessed time to all of us. See yourself:
