Those fortunate enough to be at either concert at St. Godric’s last Saturday and Tuesday, will have appreciated the combined talents of the young men and women who shared their extraordinary talents. The music was uplifting on both evenings. Saturday’s attendance was almost capacity, whilst Tuesday’s could have been so much better attended.Nonetheless, the concert organiser was at pains to say that the girls were happy to sing,irrespective of numbers. And did they sing!!! A complete concert of religious music.Highlights probably being the song that came out of refugees hiding in the basement ofCologne Cathedral in WW2. It is a song of such extraordinary hope in the darkness of life(full details on the parish website and a link inside this bulletin). A word of thanks to ourhardworking Parish team, who co-ordinated the two events. A special thank you to JoeHughes, Kathleen Murray and Dorothy Wilson. For someone in their 90s to be the last to leave the building on Saturday night deserves all the accolades gets. Thanks Dorothy.
We begin a new Journey in Faith programme. All are welcome. Programmes for Confirmation and First Holy Communion also beginning (see bulletin).
“What’s going on there?”, is the question an incredulous Cleric asked me recently beforethe meeting began in the Jubilee Room. He wasn’t referring to the new structure, butthe road totally closed off at the bottom of our street. When I tried to explain, I could tellby his sceptical smile that he was not impressed
It is, however, a question that I am being asked increasingly. But such surprise tendsto come more from visitors to this area, indicating the unprecedented nature of thisroad closure. Intrusion onto the very footpath access is now obvious from the muddy path that is now emerging on the side of the building. No, the anger does not recede. A microcosm of society?
