70+ lady wishes to be absolved and to receive Holy Communion - this Fr Kerby has done in view of "gnadenreiche Zeit" of Christmas. He hopes he has done right in the light of an earlier approval by the Bishop for a similar situation. Fr Kerby asks whether he is right that we are authorised to absolve abortion since it is no longer one of the reserved sins in the New Code. Jonathan Salt's diaconate ordination in Innsbruck, where the ordination will be in Cambridge. Fr Kerby has booked the St Ives Corn Exchange as Salt requested for the reception (on 20 July).

Mentions 30 children for Confirmation - under instruction since September, not all attend regularly, parents are good practising Catholics.

Ad clerum states Confirmation now only for 14+ age group. But some in the parish are ready for 12+ and waiting for it. Mothers show signs of disquiet. Fr Kerby understands that at the last Ministry of Priests is was said that the bishop would confirm those under this age if in preparation for Confirmation currently. On 24th May would the bishop allow this concession?

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.

Eleven children in Saturday morning class at St Ives. Regularly attending (more or less) for the past 5 to 6 years. Last year's lessons they were taught about Confirmation as a general preparation. Disquiet used to describe the bristling mothers do if their children's interests are affected. If bishop decides to go for 14+ then numbers may decline during the year.

Thanks the Bishop for his card and good wishes on Fr Kerby's 36th Ordination Anniversary.
A very impressive service in the Cathedral last night.; unfortunately Fr Kerby was too late to join the priests on the sanctuary - must start out earlier next year. Best wishes for Easter.

Thanks the Bishop for his kindness and goodness on the recent visitation. Encloses a cheque for £114.05 - the collection at the Confirmation Mass. Fr Kerby forgot to mention that he would liek to make a few alterations to the extension to the Church to enable a Licence for Music, Singing and Dancing. Suggested by the Parish Council at their last meeting. Fire officer recommends some changes. Fr Kerby does not expect this all to cost more than a few hundred pounds especially when parishioners are anxious to do some of the work themselves.
