The Church of...

....the Holy Ghost at Balham is a delight to visit - dropping in on an Autumn evening, I was not alone as various other people also came in to pray, candles glowed in front of statues, the marble altar gleamed with its silver candlesticks, the Crucifix above was illuminated, the Tabernable light indicated the Presence which gives the church its welcome...

I had been given the use of the parish room at Visitation House, adjoining the church, to lead an informal Media Presentation, with ideas and practical work for those interested in getting involved with TV and radio etc. We had Greg Clovis from Family Life International with TV cameras, and did some interviews and debates - a chance for people to learn some practical skills, discuss techniques - and also looked at the Internet, letters to the press, use of Catholic materials and publications...it is a joy to work with young people who are enthusiastic and the evening sparkled with good humour and a sense of zest.

The evening went well and we'll do more. Interested? Send a Comment to this blog with your full name and email address and I'll keep you informed...

Greg like yourself does stirling work! What with Sr Roseann today & people like yourselves including the Oratory & Maryvale I think I'm quite cocooned! Nice though!
