Maurice house

An amazing place. They hold a daily service at 11:00 and at 17:00. On Sunday morning they hold a service at 10:00. All are welcome and a nice coffee and chat after all the services. Always best to check on times of services as these can change. It's also right next to one of the wonderful beaches on Sanday - a great place for a swim!

(Translated by Google) Maurice & Jean Soord, a married couple from the Orcadian island of Sanday. This might not be anything remarkable, if it weren't for the fact that they come from the other side of the world, Burma. If you don't know them, they may not tell you anything either, but they are an endearing, hospitable, close and happy marriage. The respect with which both speak to each other, the peace that they transmit and the love for God that they process, are virtues that you see as soon as you meet them. Although I am Spanish, I am not Catholic like them, but I can see in their Faith many of the things that move me to process my Faith as an Evangelical Christian. I believe that no one has the exclusivity of God and God is and shows himself where He decides. With this couple, I can feel God, sometimes much more than in my own church, because where God dwells is not in the houses of men, but in the heart. Here, in this remote part of the north, some fervent Catholics have set aside a piece of their home to dedicate it to God, in the way that they interpret their faith, the Catholic. Once a month, mass is given by an ordained priest, while the rest of the meetings are more of an informal nature of blessing, union and support among the faithful. If you are Catholic, here is your house and your brothers in faith. Otherwise, here you have some friends and endearing people. (Original) Maurice & Jean Soord, un matrimonio de amigables habitantes de la isla Orcadiana de Sanday. sto quiz no sera nada destacable, sino fuera porque provienen del otro lado del mundo, Birmania. Si no les conoces, posiblemente tampoco te diga nada, pero son un matrimonio entraable, hospitalario, cercano y feliz. El respeto con el que ambos se hablan, la paz que transmiten y el amor por Dios que procesan, son virtudes que ves nada mas conocerles. Yo, aunque soy espaol, no soy catlico cmo ellos, pero puedo ver en su Fe, muchas de las cosas que me mueven a procesar mi Fe como Cristiano Evanglico. Creo que nadie tiene la exclusividad de Dios y Dios est y se muestra dnde l decide. Con sta pareja, puedo sentir a Dios, a veces mucho ms que en mi propia iglesia, pues donde Dios mora no es en casas de hombres, sino en el corazn. Aqu, en ste remoto lugar del norte, unos catlicos fervientes han dispuesto un trozo de su hogar para dedicarselo a Dios, de la forma que ellos interpretan su fe, la Catlica. Una vez al mes, la misa la imparte un sacerdote ordenado, mientras el resto de las reuniones revisten ms un caracter informal de bendicin, unin y apoyo entre los fieles. Si eres catlico, aqu tienes tu casa y tus hermanos en la f. Sino, aqu tienes unos amigos y entraables personas.
