Treasurer is surprised at the tone of the Bishop's letter; the committee was offering constructive advice based on their experience in the financial world. Perhaps the Bishop is unaware of the depth of experience parishioners have in such matters? Finds it ludicrous that a part-time consultant with a pastoral priest could replace the services of a fully qualified accountant . Offers several examples relating to the lack of transparency in financial matters offered at parish and Diocesan levels - no diocesan accounts in 10 years; parishioners are asked/required to contribute to schemes for which there is no visible accounting. He believes that every penny in the collections should be accounted for - currently the laity (across the diocese) are ignorant and uninformed. There is a lot more information that the laity are entitled to but not seeing. This is not about dishonesty but about lack of financial management and consultation. Not related to this exchange, he is resigning at the end of the financial year and will have no more to do with these matters in this parish. He thought it worthwhile to express these thoughts and hopes the Bishop will bear them in mind during his financial reorganisation.

Updating the Bishop on his situation. Bad case of shingles nearly over and almost recovered. Housekeeper had to retire due ill health and replacement is unacceptable. Sister helping out for now. However, if the situation does not improve he cannot manage on his own and may retire to Peterborough near his family.

The Nuclear power station will see 3,5000 men moving to Leiston and area in a few weeks. Pastoral provision had been made for "A" when it was built. John Lanning and Fr Hammond visited the site to discuss with the project officer. This time the workforce will be recruited locally; Irish labour is not being recruited; most will travel to the site daily; some 600 will be accommodated in a hostel in Leiston; information on catholic pastoral care will be made available to the workforce; a room will be available for priest to see staff. Fr Hammond is talking to Fr Gilmore of the Irish Chaplaincy Scheme in Britain in case a chaplaincy service is required.

Fr Hammond visited two retirement homes in Peterborough with his sister. He identified one as better for him. However, he'd really hoped for a place with other retired priests - but perhaps that can wait until after the Norwich [Cathedral] project is off the ground.
