Our Cardinal is due to be declared "Blessed" on 19th September. It seems unlikely we will have the new chapel, baptistery and courtyard finished by then, so as a temporary measure we are going to set up a little shrine to Blessed JHN at the back of the right-hand aisle (where S Luigi Scrosoppi is now). We have a preliminary design for a small altar with an aedicule above it to contain a portrait of Newman, and above that his coat of arms. Once we know the detailed costs, we will invite you to consider making it part of your share in the Campaign!Unless, of course, you would find it more exciting to refix some loose slates on the roof... (more of this later)
