Triduum 2016 Father Deo has said it all, from the front of the church at the end of the Vigil, and then again when he came up into the gallery with a box of Easter Eggs for you all on Tuesday last. A special word of thanks to our Cantors: thank you for singing so very well, and, most especially, for the preparation you put into your role ahead of the practices we had. Well done to you all, and thank you very, very much. The 2016 Music Workshop Now Father Deo's visa issues have been resolved, and he most happily remains with us, he is going away for a while on his combined Christmas and Easter breaks to visit his mother, Oliva, who was 80 back in December. As a result things have had to be adjusted. The likely date of the Music Workshop has changed to Saturday 25 June; I have agreed to make an all-Masses appeal from the Ambo for new members for all the choirs on the 4/5 June. Parish Processions May Procession in the church with the Crowning of Our Lady is likely to be be on 8th May. Corpus Christi Procession from the church to Streatham Common for Benediction may be on 29th May. Sorry I can't be more definite at the moment. I will confirm as soon as I am able to. Our latest (5th April) Dates List may be found HERE. |

Father Miller
A lovely picture of Father Miller in the downstairs hall. Deryck Guyler is sitting behind him. Who is the other priest? Date? Occasion? Click on the picture for a larger image. Plainchant Choir The next monthly practice takes place at 7.30pm promptly on Tuesday 12 April for the following Sunday's 11.30am Mass. Family Choir If you know of someone who may be interested in re-forming the Family Choir, then please do let me know. Both the clergy and I would really like to see a choir for the younger members of the parish community, whether it be very young, young, or teen. So far it has proved impossible to find someone with the appropriate skills prepared to offer the necessary commitment. 2016 Choir Outing 12th June The date is still on, but the details have yet to be resolved as Father Kaz and his Order will be leaving the parish at around the time we had planned to visit. |
