Getting going

Things have been getting a bit busier in recent days. We're in the process of appointing a new headteacher for our primary school, Christ the King. This involved a Zoom shortlisting this afternoon - who would have thought? 

But we're also gearing up to open St Brigid's and Christ the King churches for private prayer. Permission came through from the diocese for both on Monday, and the plan is to start on this coming Monday. Individuals involved have been absolutely fantastic, and it could not be happening without them. Tape is down on the floor, signs everywhere etc etc. Now we have to organise the volunteer stewards/cleaners etc. So many etceteras, that I suspect most parishioners are nor even aware of...

It will be great to have our church doors open again. I saw a quick video of the Archbishop of Liverpool reopening the doors of the cathedral there (above) for the first time - to the sound of loud peals of bells. I can understand the feeling. These are the parish homes of parish families.

Talking of which, Christ the King has had new lighting, been rewired and the floor of the sanctuary cleaned, so here's a nice picture.
