Dropped in to....

....Mass at Westmin. Cathedral. In the Canon, the priest started to say "Papa nostro, Benedicto - " and then stopped short, and said "er...." and started again, moving on swiftly to "Episcopo nostro, Vincenzo..."

As I was leaving, a friend came up to whisper a greeting, and we ended up having coffee together. She's a talented young artist, and involved with a lovely project for St Patrick's Day. It's at St Patrick's, Wapping (nearest tube: Tower Hill or Wapping) and there's a St Patrick's Market, with traditional bread, Irish Strew, Irish coffee, and more, and upstairs an Open Studio with the community of artists there, opportunities to see their work, have a portrait sketched, or get involved in other activities such as face-painting, and learn about the art classes they run and the opportunity to see something of the Christian vision of art and creativity and beauty. So make a date: Sunday March 17th, in the heart of London, by the Thames...a place of leafy beauty by the river, 5 mins walk from Tower Bridge and drenched in tradition and history...
