Lent Appeal 2008 | |
![]() The Lent Appeal 2008 poster In Lent 2008, as part of its response to London Challenge 2012, the London Diocese raised money to help its African partners in ALMA to build primary schools to educate their young people. The goal was to finance the building and equipping of a school in each of our link dioceses – Angola, Lebombo (Southern Mozambique) and Niassa (Northern Mozambique). A simple school with three classrooms and an administration block costs about £25,000. Peter Southwood (ALMA Link Officer) reports:
Parishes are asked to send their collections to the ALMA Link Officer as soon as possible. The fund raising activities included a concert at St Peter’s Hammersmith for Messumba Primary School in Niassa Diocese. St Peter’s has a parish link with Messumba. ![]() Franklin Central Concert Choir Their superb concert on 2 April was given by the Franklin Central Concert Choir from Indianapolis. The mixed ensemble of high school students, under the direction of William E. Griffel, delivered an evening to be remembered. Their excellent musical abilities were accompanied by great delight in performing. It was a privilege to meet the parents of some of the students after the concert.
