£40 cheque as an offering for the Bishop's visit to administer Confirmation on 4 December. Families were appreciative of his words at Mass and in conversation afterwards.

Fr Smith confirms the visitation programme. Expects the Bishop to arrive about 7pm, "..in time for a little something to eat?"

Fr Kerby only remembered the cheque after the Bishop had driven off. "Sorry about that!" Mention of a decisive meeting happening in Huntingdon this evening.

Thanks the Bishop for his kindness and goodness on the recent visitation. Encloses a cheque for £114.05 - the collection at the Confirmation Mass. Fr Kerby forgot to mention that he would liek to make a few alterations to the extension to the Church to enable a Licence for Music, Singing and Dancing. Suggested by the Parish Council at their last meeting. Fire officer recommends some changes. Fr Kerby does not expect this all to cost more than a few hundred pounds especially when parishioners are anxious to do some of the work themselves.

Bishop had responded re query on inter-communion. Fr Kerby will follow it up with those concerned. Stating that the Bishop's visit on 26/25 June includes First Holy Communion and Confirmation for 40 candidates. Reference to similar occasion in Haverhill. Little party to be held after confirmation on 25th June.

School's problem - bank manager advised it difficult to raise funds with current stringent regulations. Could money for the Shrine and Oil be used for this purpose? [manuscript annotation: "(No!) - Bp Parker"]. Change school status so it is no longer a senior school?
Thanks the Bishop for his help even though the difficulty still remains. Fr Cowin's invitation to the Bishop to visit him was made so the Bishop would not think him discourteous especially as he was prevented from being present at the ceremony.

Be pleased to see Fr Brewer - need to give notice to obtain a key for the property. Bed available and aired if Fr Brewer wishes to stay.

Have spent over £40-0-0 on fixtures and fittings but not ready to provide an inventory as bills are awaited from tradesmen. £30 of which is mission property. Delighted with official announcement of Mrs Temple Layton's settlement - a welcome addition to income. Ramsey repairs continuing- - floor far worse than thought. Mission begins on Saturday - visiting every single house in Huntingdon [+4 places] looking for hidden Papists. "... great fun to see the stare and panic ... when I tell them I am a Catholic priest". Received with courtesy and politeness.

July 8 suitable for visitation to Huntingdon. Enclose rough timetable for the visit: "Confirmation - 3pm" & "Devotions - 6.30" crossed through and "Yes" annotated for "Confirmation & Benediction 6.30"

Land owner, Mr Johnson, requires £700 instead of £500 for a piece of land of 7025 feet. One month's refusal given.
Requests for advice / dispensation for a marriage between two residents of Spain who want to be married in August.
Thanks the bishop for his Form of Application and asks if he still feels the benefits of East Coast air.

Very pleasant to be in Southwold in this lovely weather. Glad to know you are enjoying it. Very remote prospect of visiting as desk is piled high.

Form letter.
Kritian Thorsteinson appointed by the Bishop as the new Diocesan Youth Officer from January 1922 - based in Peterborough but working out of Newmarket - commissioning on 22 January 1992 at 7.30pm at Newmarket. Fr Gary Dowsey is to be Youth Chaplain.

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 sends Bishop his thanks via a photo-card: "With thanks for making it a great week-end for a "little" parish which, please God, will become more "beautiful and good"!
