St. Bartholomew's
Polyphony Choir

UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2022


 

Dear all,

 

Parish Annual General Meeting 2022

This will take place in the Hall from 19:30 on Wednesday 12 October. I have been advised that, ahead of the occasion, "We will also have a suggestions box at the back of the Church, so that parishioners can make suggestions, raise issues of concern or request information, please inform members of your group about this." I have now done so! Twice!!

 

Choir Dates List 2022/23

The latest Dates List, dated 10 July, is to be found here. Print and pin to your notice boards, Blu Tack to your fridges, transfer to your diaries etc., etc.! Cantors should 'pencil in' the later dates at this stage.

 

Forthcoming Poly Masses

Herewith the anticipated Music Lists for the Choir's annual Thanksgiving Mass on 20 September and for the 27th Sunday on 2 October.

 

Our October Mass will be said for the intention of St. Bartholomew's Polyphony Choir at Terry Folorunso's request. There will be a nod to Vaughan Williams for the 150th anniversary of his birth on 12 October 1872.

 

Forthcoming Plainchant Masses

The anticipated Music List for the 18 September Mass.

 

Forthcoming Hymn Choir Masses

The next 11:30 Hymn Choir Mass is on 25 September.

 

Huge congratulations to Andrew & Valerie....

.... on the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary on 26 August! Theirs was the third Choir-related Marriage, and, if I remember correctly, took place at Virgo Fidelis as the new organ was in the final stages of installation at Bart's.

 


Prayers, please

Please continue your prayers for Terry F. that she makes a complete recovery; she remains frail and is receiving care several times a day. John reports that both cataracts have now been dealt with, and after some complications with the left one, things are steadily improving. Also for Jane, Terry J. and Mary & Frank.

 

Also.....

Mary E. has said she hopes to be back with us soon and Kitty hopes to return in September. Jan will be back when she returns home, and Veronica still intends to be back with us at some stage.
