On Tuesday 27th June 2023, Bishop Peter Collins received a warm welcome on his first visit to the parish since becoming Bishop of East Anglia. He confirmed eleven of our young people. We congratulate Aiden, Eva, Juan, Elizabeth, Sophia, Raphael, James, Florence, Rian, Noah and Thomas and pray the blessings of the Holy Spirit on them, their families and friends.
Special thanks to the catechists, Andreas Emerson Moering and Anne Jackson who journeyed with them over the past several months as they prepared to receive the Sacrament.
Thanks also to Roger, our Director of Music, Wendy, the Soloist, the musicians and singers who ensured the Liturgy was so beautiful and special. Thanks to the servers who did a great job under the stewardship of Paul Gilbert from Thetford to whom we are also grateful. Also, thanks to Kathy and Teresa for all their work behind the scenes.
After the ceremony, Bishop Peter went to the FEPOW Chapel where he said a prayer for the repose of the souls of the Far East Prisoners of War.
An enjoyable evening was had in the hall by everyone afterwards and we thank especially those who provided the refreshments.
