With the Family Choir taking a break..... ..... there are a couple of occasions where we shall be needed. The first is the Confirmation Mass with Bishop Pat at 12 noon 15th November, and the second will be Maundy Thursday, 24th March at 8pm. I don't anticipate putting out a three line whip for the first, as it will be leading the singing, but the the Maundy Thursday Mass will be a formal sung Mass once again. We might, happily, return to having a Crowning of Our Lady and Benediction next year. This has yet to be confirmed. The latest Dates List is HERE. November is busy! With Poly Masses for All Saints on the 1st and Christ The King on the 22nd, then Mass again on 6th December, and then, once again, it's.... ....Christmas! We, and the brass of St. Bart's Orchestra, will certainly remember Sir David Willcocks's huge contribution to so many of our previous Christmas's after his passing in August. The 'most likely' Music List for the Concert, Midnight Mass and the Epiphany Mass will be available very soon. The original music to Adeste Fideles (© Fr. Tim Finnigan) 7th February 11:30 Poly Mass Father Deo has agreed that this Mass will be celebrated with the Orchestra, as well as the organ, under the baton of their new conductor Florent de Bazelaire. More details in the New Year. |

Father Carolin's Grave Further to last month's words, please keep an eye on the latest Newsletter for details, and how much has been raised against the target to date. The current dilapidated state of the grave is shown HERE. After discussion your Committee and I have agreed that the Choir will make up any shortfall from the bequest from Doris Weeds, which is something I believe all of you will thoroughly approve of. I know Doris would! |
