Collecting...

...the entries for the Catholic Young Writer Award from the office of the Catholic Union.  The Award is sponsored by the Catholic Union Charitable Trust. There are a good many entries, packets and packets of them....

A couple of schools have been emailing the Catholic Union anxious to know when the winners of the Award will be announced.  Not for a while yet - every entry is carefully read and evaluated. There will be a number of runners-up as well as the main winner.

On to Chelsea, where I spent the afternoon working withj Patti Fordyce, chairman of the Association of Catholic Women, checking and updatinmg the Association's mailing list. A massive task: we had it all transferred to a new computer system this summer and various anomalies and mistakes emerged which now have to be sorted out...as we wrked, we reminisced about ACW's activities since its foundation over a quarter of a century ago.  It is impossible to try to measure success and wrong to do so...only the dear Lord knows what, if anything, has really been achieved...anyway there is plenty more to do as the Bridgettine Day on Monday reminded us of the great heritage to which Catholic women are heirs...
