            Approach to managing interim payments via Mr Sauvain and the Architect. Suggest Mr Waite go back to Curaozon Street and discuss the plans - in a spirit of helpfulness. Will get the Finance Board's approval for the plan. The Loan Agreement will need all details of the School Managers - go via Mgr Hunting on this. Massingham Nuns would be best to secure but Swaffham nuns are very good and have a longer interest in the neighbourhood. Will write to Massignham Mother Provincial about a possible opening at King's Lynn.

            Swaffham nuns have secured a place 10 minutes walk from the church. With the Bishop's permission they hope to open in Easter. Fr Heptonstall happy to say Mass once a week there with no honorarium until the sisters are established. The drive to Bincham [air base] is in an open army lorry - despite that he has never felt so well. Fr Flynn is doing well at Sudbury despite the rumours heard over the years. Fr H's complaint is that Fr Flynn has taken with him the Inventory Book and the mission books - he is a most difficult person as he either never responds or sends a most rude letter. Can the Bishop get him to return the books?

            To meet Sauvain soon - plan for school unchanged from some time ago. The Education department needs no application for the 75% grant but Fr Wace will apply for a loan equal to the remaining 25% although do not need all of it. School expansion possible with room for three more classrooms; kitchen currently will cater for 120 but in due course could cater for 210.
            Two young teachers leaving - one to get married. The Swaffham nuns interested in joining the primary school staff. Are the Massingham nuns better for this?

            The Daughters of Divine Charity, who have a convent and school in Swaffham and a small care home in Hunstanton, have celebrated the 150th anniversary of the founding of their Congregation with events in Vienna and Norwich.

            The Congregation was founded in Vienna in 1868 by Mother Franciska Lechner and an international celebration was held in the Austrian capital city for three days in early June.

            Provincial Superior Sr Thomas More, Sr Danuta, Sr Kasjana, Sr Bernarda, Sr Linda and three Novices went to Vienna along with three girls from the Year 10 class at Sacred Heart and two teachers. There were also three young girls from Chesterfield who are interested in joining the Congregation and Fr Michael Johnstone, the former Parish Priest of Swaffham.

            Bishop Alan Hopes also invited the Sisters, the school, friends and parishioners to an 11.30am Celebration Mass at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich on July 5 to mark the anniversary.

            Sr Francis Ridler said: “The 150th Anniversary at the Cathedral was a very special occasion. The pupils sang with enthusiasm and all who had individual tasks exceeded expectations. It was a wonderful community effort with school staff, Bishop Alan, several priests, parishioners, friends and parents joining in our celebration.

            “Many parishioners at the Cathedral praised the organisation and good behaviour of the pupils. The children enjoyed seeing the Sisters from Chesterfield and Hunstanton.”

            The offertory procession included items that represented the Sisters and school such as a candle, its emblem, the mission statement and a globe. Year 6 escorted the Nursery children who held flags from the 20 countries in which the sisters work.

            One of the highlights of the Mass was a Year 11 pupil, Emily Ringwood, singing a solo Pia Jesu and the angelic voices of Sr Michaela and Sr Danuta as they sang the responsorial psalm.

            The Mass was followed by a barbecue in the Narthex gardens organized by staff from the Narthex and from Sacred Heart school.

            The Sisters said they would like to thank Bishop Alan for his invitation and for allowing his staff to work with the Sacred Heart Team to organise the Mass and barbecue.
