Mr A H Cox writing on behalf of the parish committee at St Peter's. Fr Tom confirmed his departure yesterday at their meeting. Naturally there is a concern for the community, which behaves as a parish even if it is not one. A resident priest has been a great advantage but if one cannot be found then they'd welcome the opportunity to talk to the Bishop about it.

ParishionerWriting in support of the parish priest
Parishioner2 letters from parishioners to the Bishop about the over long time taken for the repairs on the Hall - from Easter to then, November - ingress of water and the general impact on its use. The Bishop replies to both (same letter) and then writes to the builders (Mr Keith Butler of Povell, Flood & Wilson, LVE Buildings, Jarrom Street, Leicester) about something being radically wrong and needing to be attended to urgently. He is sure Fr Shannon has been in touch.
