Thanks the Bishop for his card on the occasion of Fr Kerby's Ordination anniversary. So many years have passed - he still feels liek a beginner.
The planning application has been deferred for a month. Main objection is car parking space and increased congestion outside.

Bishop has agreed to attend St Ives for Confirmation on 14 January 1996. Confirmation Mass is to be held at 2.30pm since 11am Mass in their small church would be crowded and uncomfortable. Offers lunch to the Bishop (manuscript annotation: lunch circled and "Yes Noon"). Fr Kerby has to be at Swavesey for a 4.30pm Mass. Mentions 30 children for Confirmation - under instruction since September, not all attend regularly, parents are good practising Catholics.

Thanking Bishop for dealing with Padre Pio matter. Lucian, Romanian seminarian at Oscott, wants to take a 1 year M Phil at Birmingham University. Not being an "EC" student, the course fees are £6000 and the college will only pay £2000. Lucian's efforts to gain additional funding have not worked. Fr Kerby, considering St Ives is well off, asks if they could pay £2000 to assist? This degree would help Lucian in Romania as he'd be qualified to teach.

Thanks the Bishop for the card marking the 34 years since Fr Kerby's ordination. All well during Holy Week & Easter - Sunday Masses particularly full - a good core of people who have the interests of the parish very much at heart. Thanks to the ladies, the Church looked splendid on Easter morning with a great amount of flower arrangements. Apologises for not providing warm water, soap and a towel - will do better next time - in October.

Fr Kerby is looking forward to meeting James Fyfe. He has written to the South American couple explaining the situation and to say they are welcome to use the front room in the Presbytery, if they wish to have somewhere to stay. Lucian ?, the Romanian is back in Romania and is waiting for his M Phil results from Birmingham University. He is still not ordained, his bishop is taking exception to him getting married, despite being of the Eastern rite.

Covering note: mentions a lot of opposition locally due to poor parking. Relations not good for a number of years because of this. Residents fear it will get worse.
Draft Letter:
Diocese feels this is important for the Parish. It s a large one covering a considerable number of villages around St Ives. HDC's policy for expansion has led to a growth in congregation and their use of the Church. Diocese is concerned that this growth does not adversely affect the Parish. If there are any areas of concern we hope they can be discussed and problems overcome to help the local Catholic Community to develop and grow as a worship of God.

A memo from Mark Little to the Bishop. Having spoken to Nick Safell, there is no reason why the Bishop shouldn't write to Huntingdon DC in support of the parish's planning application. If he does do so, it would be useful to talk to Julian Limentani who submitted the bid. He is prepared to draft a letter for the Bishop.

Little, Mark
