            Part of Our Lady and St Peter Parish, Aldeburgh

            Excellent start: rent-free house and gardens; sites for Aldeburgh & Leiston chapels secured. Need to check on conveyance restrictions and re-convey the buildings to Diocesan Trustees (suggested names: Bishop, Fr Delaney, Fr Hugh Parker, Fr Austin O'Sullivan), take your solicitor's advice. Model Trust Deed available. Leiston chapel seems cheap - but need to consider extension in the future, hence make the walls higher to avoid tunnel appearance. For maintenance, use Mission receipts, but in the intervening months Bishop would provide funds through the Poor Mission Fund (Canon Ashmole will send an application form).

            Wants to buy a plot of land, but need the Diocese to advance the money. Looking to the future of Leiston - presently unsatisfactory being out of the way on an unadopted road. No news about another room being built on the side of the presbytery - could put an elderly priest there to help in the exhausting, and unsatisfactory, work running Aldebergh-Leiston parish.
            Manuscript Annotation: "Plot of land. 60'x250'(frontage 60') opposite Rly. Station belong to Warlock. Price £100 but [?] probably a reasonable price as they have no more use for it. Thought project of room to be at Ald. was to find funds[?]. Better find out what they mean of 'a reasonable price'. Oct 20/28."

            Cannot form an estimate of income from the visitors during the season, therefore will ask Canon Ashmole for an application form for the Poor Mission fund soon. Costs of furnishing, repairing and decorating the presbytery were high; the nuns only advanced half his last quarter salary; getting the workmen our the house (fourteen of them) was an issue. No problem with putting the chapel on the garden in fact he might be able to get an additional strip of land as a gift. After his return from Paris, Fr Delaney hopes to do great things with building fund and maintenance fund. Would like to get building soon since it is difficult to accommodate the existing congregation without including visitors. Numbers are increasing 3 recantations in both Aldeburgh and Leiston; four ready for full baptism; three babies for baptism.

            Text is:
            Dear Friends, I an honoured and deeply grateful for having been invited to make this contribution to the "Church in Aldeburgh" on behalf of the Roman Catholic population. A feature of my stay in Aldeburgh apart from having many rather wonderful parishioners, is the kindness and friendliness of so many members of other churches, and a truly ecumenical situation.
            We clergy too, enjoy a relationship proper to brothers in Christ. And now a few details of the Roman Catholic parish of Our Lady & St. Peter. It covers over 100 square miles and includes, Leiston, Saxmundham, Thorpness, Sizewell, Snape (part) and Yoxford. The parish was established in 1906. No doubt at that time Mass would be celebrated in private houses. Later the Oblate nuns established a convent school here in Suffolk House with a public chapel and later they were replaced by Sisters of Mercy at Eton House. According to our records in 1906 there were 24 Catholics and Sunday Mass attendance was 12. In 1914 it was 63 plus 42 Belgian refugees. In 1917 46 and 53 soldiers. At this time the Sunday collection averaged 9s 9d in Aldeburgh and l3s 5d in Leiston. The priest must have had a slender diet.
            In 1924 the foundation stone of the present church on the Terrace was laid. The contract price was £2,298 - cash in hand £1,200. The first Mass was celebrated in the church in 1925.
            In 1930 owing to seemingly incurable dampness, the altar was moved to the opposite end of the church. Towards the end of the war a bomb was dropped near the church blasting the presbytery and making a good excuse for the church tower to be demolished, as unsafe, Two extra bays were built and a side chapel opened in 1955; cost £4,000. Leiston has its own church All Saints, Seaward Avenue and a thriving community. It was built just over 25 years ago. Last year we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone. A very welcome guest was Father Mcarten. He was chaplain to a very large number of Irish Catholics employed in building Sizewell A. He mustered a large contingent to help in building the church.
