We have been well blessed in the past few months, no cries of priests being held up or ill, since I wrote in my last report on the incapacity of Fr Whinder (Balham) at the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Father tells me he is much better and we shall see him soon, I hope. He is a very good friend to us. I have had two telephone calls from a priest in the Ivory Coast! Just social calls complimenting us on Mass of Ages! Nice to know how far we reach. Again, all our slots are filled, including Ascension and Corpus Christi - Deo Gratias. Monsignor Wach very generously invited me to the opera in Milan in February - La Traviata - which was the best I have seen. Canon Hudson will be joining me at Glyndebourne in June for The Barber of Seville. The Institute expands and flourishes with such distinguished priests.
