NEWS: Instant coverage of the event -
by kind permission of Fr. Lawrence.
St Robert of Newminster Feast Day
The Icon arrives on the afternoon of Friday 6th June. Cath Ferguson, the Iconographer, together with her husband, Chas, is assisted by Jacob Conroy (who made the easel to hold the icon) as the Icon is prepared to be lifted into place: Pictures from St Robert’s Day. We were delighted to have Dom Mark Caira OCSO, Abbot of Nunraw Abbey in Scotland to bless the Icon. Nunraw is part of the Cistercian Order to which St Robert belonged. Nunraw is the nearest Cistercian abbey to Morpeth. Here we have the Abbot with Fr Jim Doherty,
Fr Lawrence Jones and Deacon Chas Ferguson, the husband of Cath who wrote (painted) the Icon.
