Parish Music Workshop - Saturday 15th October
Details will be
available to parishioners at all Masses on 1/2 October. The programme of
music will be drawn up after Tuesday 11th October, by which time I
hope to have a clearer indication of the level of interest, who will
be attending and their voice parts and the
resultant possibilities for the music to be prepared. I do hope the
occasion attracts a goodly number of people. Christmas 2016
Regrettably, I have
agreed with Bernard that the suggestion that a wind quintet from the
Orchestra join us for the concert was not ideal. We shall be 'on our
own'. Julie will once again read for us. I am aiming to have a very
straightforward Christmas this year. That said, we will still
revisit Rutter's Shepherd's Pipe Carol as promised, and return to
the Ronald Corp Christmas Mass we sang last year. |

Prayers, please
Joe Ryan is making very slow, but encouraging, progress on
what will be a very long journey to recovery after
his terrible accident - please do continue remember him, Jeannette and their
extended family. Christmas 2016 - more! Please do print out, and have a little look at, Sleep! Holy Babe! which is also now in your folders. It would be so helpful to have you familiar with is by the time we come to start learning the piece. We will start looking at this in early October. It would be good to have your efforts before-hand bearing fruit. Antony As you now now know, we will be seeing less of Antony this term. Thankfully he has committed to being with us for the Tuesday before, and Sundays, we sing. We are very grateful to him for that. As always I do not expect him to be with us for Christmas Midnight Mass. |
Coffee Morning 30 October
Ken (as Chef) is
likely to be around, as, of course, will I. Bacon and sausage
sandwiches and cakes as last time would seem to be best, especially
as the days grow colder! Please do put into your diaries to remind
you to help out on the day as much as you are able to. Cantors 7.45pm Practices: Andrew 1st November, Ken 15th November, Richard 29th November and John 20th December. Please note in your diaries. Plainchant Choir The next practice will take place at 7.30pm on Tuesday 11th October to prepare for Mass on 16th October. Dates List I remind you that the latest Dates List may be printed from HERE. If you have any problem with this then do ask me for a paper copy on Tuesday. Rome 1990 & 1994 It has often been suggested that we have an evening to view the old Rome videos from 1990 and 1994 - they will probably frighten a number of us 25+ years on!!!.... That said, I'm happy to arrange this, along with a few drinks and nibbles. Let me know. Good Luck..... To Carole and Mike Winch in their new home in Seaford that they will be hopefully enjoying from 1st October. |
