...given by the Catholic Herald to celebrate the Papal Visit. Great fun, lots of talks with a great many friends, delicious drinks and trays of tasty nibbles, all in the rather impressive surroundings of The Friary in Francis St, round at the back of Westminster Cathedral. This was for many years the Catholic Central Library, but before that,it was connected not with the Church but with the British Army, and was built as a home for orphans of soldiers who served in the Crimean War...
Among the people at the party, I chatted to Canon Christopher Tuckwell of Westminster Cathedral, to Stratford and Leonie Caldecott, who are involved with the excellent Magnificat publication, to Fr Tim Finigan (this month marks 30 years since he served our Wedding Mass at St Elphege's, Wallington), to Neville Kyrke-Smith and the team from Aid to the Church in Need, to Christina of the Cathedral Friends, to Fergal Martin and the team from the CTS , and to a great many more friends. Princess Michael of Kent was among the guests, and very charming and friendly. Herald editor Luke Coppen was a cheery and welcoming host, and I had my photograph taken with him and will put it on this blog as soon as I have worked out how to do so. (Fr Tim took the pic, and has emailed it to me, and will be watching gleefully to see if I manage it...)
After the party, an interview with Jeremy de Satge of The Music Makers for the Heart gives unto Heart radio station.
