Fr Hammond has not yet told the sick brethren about the visit and says the Bishop will be free to do the Baptism. He has been invited to join the Bishop for Saturday supper and Sunday lunch.

Fr Davidson sets out the timetable for the Visitation. 20 children and 1 adult for confirmation at Leiston - then coffee after Mass is an opportunity to meet the congregation. Mrs Russell has offered her house, next to the church, for the Aldeburgh congregation to meet the Bishop. 10 housebound parishioners to be seen which will take 2 to 3 hours over 30 miles. One of the bed-ridden he'd like the Bishop to confirm.
