Franciscan Missionary Sisters of

Littlehampton

The Barn Choir gave their annual Christmas Concert on Tuesday 18 December 2007 in St Joseph's Convent Chapel. Nearly two hundred people joined the Sisters to listen to the Barn Choir Christmas Concert. The audience was captivated by the enthusiasm and energy of the Barn Choir as they performed a festive selection of traditional, classical and humorous music, under the direction of David Rudling.

Admission and refreshments were free and the retiring collection together with a number of donations after the concert has resulted in the grand sum of £1,815.85 being raised for the Sisters Mission in Peru.

The Sisters are delighted with the amount raised and would like to thank all who made the above possible. Their thanks go out to The Barn Choir, and all those who helped serve, wash up after the refreshments, count the money and helped prepare the chapel for services.

Watch this space for dates and details of the next Barn Choir concert.

Obituary: Denis White attended recent reunions and is in the second row from the back immediately in front of the Tabernacle in the last reunion photo taken. He was a real character and although in his eighties was very stately and agile. He was writing his memoirs.
He died (after spending three weeks in hospital) on Feast of the Holy Souls 2nd November 2007. We offer our deepest sympathy to his wife and brother Tony and his wife and family and ask you to keep them all in prayer at this sad time.
May Denis wing his way to Heaven where the band of people already there from St Joseph's Littlehampton will give him a very big welcome. May the Lord comfort all left behind.

Obituary: John Eagles (1927 - 2007) died on the 1st August. John came to all the reunions with his friend Yvonne, except the last one, due to illness. He was buried in Hove Cemetery 9th August 2007. John lived in our Burgess Hill home and spent a short period in our Littlehampton home. May he now enjoy the company of all who knew him and may we who are left hold him in thoughtful prayer as we continue our journey to the Lord in eternity.

Paul Prout, who was at St. Joseph's from 1931 to 1935, has with the help of his daughter Karen, written a book about his life entitled "My Story".
