Papal Chair

Thank you, Andy,

The talk does not stop as we share the wonder of the Visit.

The presence of Benedict 16 is still with us.

The art in the Papal Chair from school is lasting memory with the pupils and us all.

Hi Fr Donald

What a tremendous blessing which the past four days have been for the Catholic Church in Great Britain.  

For me it was a tremendous joy, privilege and blessing to be part of  such a great choir participating in the liturgical celebration of the Papal Mass at Bellahouston Park on Thursday.  

The crowds were awesome.  I

t was like a carnival atmosphere prior to the start of Mass, but when asked for a period of silence prior to the start of Mass there was a tremendous silence over such a great crowd, estimated at 70,000.

 

The Papal Chair

I attach a photograph of a chair.  This chair was made for the Papal visit by a group of school children from Anne Marie's school.  It was situated in the Papal Sacristy and a booklet containing the background and development of the chair was presented to the Holy Father and each of the Scottish Bishops.  Again a great honour and privilege for the school children.

 

Hope to see you all soon.

 

God bless

Andy & Anne Marie
