The South Downs Singers cancelled their Spring Concert last Saturday at St George’s in respect of the funeral of Pope Francis. It was very moving that non Catholics within this lovely choir were so vocal in saying respect must be shown to the Catholic community at St George’s and immediately contacted Fr Rory to express this. If you purchased a ticket, a refund will be given by the seller. We perform again at our Summer Concert on 26th July, Carter’s Corner Farm. If you prefer, your ticket from the Spring Concert can be used there.
