Spring is Here!
Look at the beauty of God's creation in our Church Grounds through the gardening skills of Reg Richards.
Stuart Nicholson is the Master of the Music at Saint Patrick's Cathedral and they are looking for this year's intake of choristers to join them in the choir stalls and school in September. As they are not able to recruit in the usual way, they are reaching out directly to interested parents via schools in the area, music centres, choirs and churches, as well as good old-fashioned word-of-mouth.
Therefore attached below is a flier and a letter for parents, which may be of interest to those with musically inclined children or grandchildren, or those teaching music in the parish.
Attached is a copy of the 2020 Annual Report of the SCUT Project in Brasnov, Romania, one of our two Mission-Link Projects.
