2 articles in on cutting

  1. Description of the visit by Archbishop Barbarito to the region.
  2. Use of laity for vital tasks because the diocese has too few priests. Bishop Clark called a special assembly to discuss the topic. Despite recent ordinations, there is going to be a shortfall of priests.

[undated] Article by Donald Hilton. "The reader's columns of the EDP have shown that some Protestants were not only unenthusiastic about the visit but were critical that any Free Church minister should be involved." Generally critical article about the stances of the Roman Catholic Church but considers Catholics to be sisters and brothers in Christ.

Apology, please Mr Kinnock

Editorial begins: "The Labour party is revelling the new found confidence of an Opposition which is at last recovering from its third successive electoral defeat. The consequent euphoria, however, has led its leader to stray from the paths of accepted invective." It suggests that Mr Kinnock will not suffer the fate of Salman Rushdie but an apology is in order.

A school that featured in a television series [Channel 5 series Bad Habits, Holy Orders, in which five party girls spend a month with the school's sisters] and has educated pupils through two world wars is appealing for the public's help to save it from collapse. Sacred Heart School in Swaffham says it may have to close its senior school at the end of the academic year unless funding can be found to support it.

The school, run by the Daughters of Divine Charity, was founded in 1914 and moved to its current site in 1920. It now has 162 pupils aged from three to 16 across its nursery, lower and senior schools. Now, with the future for its 68 senior pupils in doubt, parents and staff at the Mangate Street school say financial help will be needed to support its operation and the work of its sisters.

Sacred Heart Church's 'Crowning and Warming the Sacred Heart of Southwold' heritage project has been greatly boosted by a National Lottery grant of £210,000 and a grant of £10,000 from Historic England. The grants add significantly to funds already provided by the Parish and the Southwold Trust and will enable the repair and restoration of the church. Parish priest Roger de Lacy-Spencer, said: 'These generous grants will ensure the church can continue to welcome parishioners and visitors'.

Sacred Heart School, in Swaffham since 1914, is a fee-paying school with some 160 pupils in its nursery, lower and senior schools. This year it has asked the community to help raise funds to keep it open. This was unsuccessful and the school recently announced that it would be closing at the end of the summer term. The Catholic Diocese of East Anglia has been working on plans for a new Catholic primary school, the first in Norfolk for decades, in its place. This week the plan was approved by Norfolk County Council.
