...honour for Dan Cooper, dedicated teacher and leader of youth, strong supporter of the FAITH Movement, and stalwart defender of the Catholic Church. He has been awarded the Bene Merenti medal, presented to him in the chapel of the John Fisher School Purley, the school that he has served with such dedication over many years.
I met Dan this morning at Mass at Westminster Cathedral...where, incidentally, he features in the forthcoming (January) edition of OREMUS, the Cathedral magazine, pictured at the Towards Advent Festival where he ran the FAITH stall...
The Cathedral is always full for Sunday Masses, but as Christmas approached it is even fuller. A long, long queue of people for confession - all the extra chairs that had been set out were filled,and there were people patiently standing...somehow this is a rather special and touching sign of the great reality of Christmas...
