Possibilities - for 1992; Alright so far - after 15 years, a rolling car story; The Scene across the Country - alarming decrease in Catholic numbers; The Decade - wide range of activities and areas, unable to define the work of a Commission for Evangelisation ; The Practice - a liturgy to celebrate, revealed mysteries of faith, "all for concilitarity and firmly adhere to it - but I am leary of any synodal structure"; Programme of Evangelisation - "junk" served up in so many churches, a list of some hymns to be consigned to the outer darkness, "admit there is a danger of riding a hobby horse to death"; ARCIC Response - "a great opportunity was lost...", incolvement of all Chruistian Churches is demanded; Finance - Hadrian Mule, Diocesan finances never easy to grasp at one sitting, have not enough money to do everything so budgetting and prioritising is fundamental; DDF [Diocesan Development Fund] - decisions to be taken; Offerings - frequently too low, successes in the Shrine complex and finanacing of the rebuilding of the Cathedral

A shrine to Our Lady in Hunstanton in North West Norfolk has been restored and consecrated in memory of Polish troops who helped defend the county from the threat of invasion during the Second World War. When The Church of Our Lady and St Edmund in Hunstanton was built in 1905, it was no larger than a Lady Chapel and could only seat a few people. In 1940, a unit of Polish soldiers, billeted at nearby Heacham, came to man an armoured train that protected the coast as far as King's Lynn. They built an altar and a shrine in the garden and outdoor services were held. Expansion of the church in the 1950s lead to the demolition of the shrine and altar. A Polish lady parishioner, with the support of the Polish and parish communities, decided to rebuild the shrine in the grounds of the Church to commemorate all the troops.
