Part of Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury Parish, Wymondham

Valuable & vigorous time on a programme which at first seemed daunting but was fully vindicated. Bishop did visit the whole of the parish. Very much liked what he encountered and thanked Fr Brown and Sister Alies for their time & energy. Attleborough has no immediate answer; building there is still thought of, but the Bishop favours the Methodist Church as a good venue. Suggests Fr Brown should programme in some painting. The hall may still provide adequate service but for how long? Wymondham is a happy and well organised parish.

Chris Toller (of ????) undertook the 5 year review of Wymondham property. Nothing to worry, except to reserve £10,000 for re-roofing the Presbytery in a year or so. They considered future development of the parish in Attleborough, given that the parish has no property there. The old C of E Hall is to come to the market soon, Chris Toller sees this as an opportunity. So Fr Brown is raising it with the Bishop despite his lack of means. Sister Alies is soon to be out of hospital but will not be able to drive and it is thought that having her based in Attleborough would provide someone on the spot would provide support for local people.

Ad Clerum had underlined need to obtain permission for spending money. Mgr MacBride was vague about the guidelines. Fr Chapman identifies that a lot of maintenance is required: repainting church, presbytery and cottage; rewiring the cottage; addressing damp in the cottage; Hall needs work to meet Fire Service standards; an elm tree needs removing.
Personal note: keeping fairly well, but, off colour at times and things, at times, get on top of him. Not had a proper holiday - so perhaps it is his own fault.

Church is going to fall down unless remedial steps taken. Report & recommendations from Messrs Pynford who inspected the site at Mr John Cullen's request are being sent to the Bishop. Canon McBride is to be at the Finance Board in September - decision on money?
Manuscript annotation: ""a/d personally? reassurance that FB would discuss the matter - & PW could arrange an interview on site on Friday Sep 18th with Cullen."

The financial state of the Mission is such that it may not be meeting its bills by the end of this quarter. Fr Ketterer provides estimates for repairs: chimney re-pointing, making roof watertight. He asks to send a statement at the end of the month to demonstrate his care.

Furnishing achieved and is fairly comfortable. Asks for advance of £40 to pay the painter who is doing a good job.
