Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Letter to introduce Commander & Mrs Eyre Huddleston who are spending Easter in Rome and would like to attend Holy Father's private Mass. "I am sure you will do what you can, as the Verabile (sic) always does, to help distinguished Englishment who do their duty in Rome."
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Bishop happy to go to Sawston and commission Special Ministers. He will do so after his visitation to Our Lady of English Martyrs (OLEM) in Cambridge. Each candidate must have adequate catechesis, be in possession of the CTS blue handbook and have a certificate for the Bishop to issue.
Delighted to hear that the parish is geared to Saturday 16th May.
Last year the question of Special Ministers of Holy Communion arose - but not addressed. In August & September Fr O'Toole was incapacitated with torn ligaments and the need for these ministers became more relevant. Could Bishop come and commission them? Possibly before 1st April because of the special Mass to dedicate all those parishioners engaged in supporting roles in the Church. Would like Communion from the Chalice.
This event will be a stepping stone for Norwich on 16th May.
Manuscript note: "6th April Monday pm"
Fr O'Toole's programme for the visitation: 4 Sunday masses (Sawston / Great Shelford / Hauxton / Sawston) + Confirmation Mass + visiting the sick/housebound + evening meeting with parishioners. Fr O'Toole invites comments from the Bishop on his programme.
O'Toole, Laurence RevFr O'Toole cannot accept invitation to Chrism Mass because of a prior commitment to take Communion to 16 Old people on Maundy Thursday. Not a trivial reason for not coming.
O'Toole, Laurence RevFr O'Toole describes the items within the programme for the Bishop's visitation.: Meeting with Tony Philpot & the vicar from Bar Hill; 4 masses; Children's Liturgy in one Mass; commissioning of Eucharistic ministers; coffee in hall; Confirmation Mass; tea in Hall; 13 elderly folk to be visited.
O'Toole, Laurence RevCovering letter: Fr O'Toole is asked by a secretary at The White House, Poringland to help identify a Parish for a parishioner.
Subject letter: Mrs Yoland Creasley of Hatley St George is unable to determine which parish she lives in - too many boundaries and churches nearby. East Anglia Diocesan Year Book not helpful.
