The Relics of St Therese
As part of the visit of St Therese’s relics to our cathedral in Nottingham, the Youth Service led an All Night Vigil. Starting at 11.00 on Monday 5th October and finishing the next morning with Mass at 6.30, it was split into three parts, each focussing on a different aspect of St Therese’s spirituality.
Born in Liverpool in July 11th, 1954, I am the eldest of 6 sisters and 6 brothers. I was educated at Pontville RC school, Lancashire.
I left Liverpool when I was 12 years old, and travelled around from place to place, due to my father’s work. My father’s name was Paddy Morgan and my mother’s name was Audrey Morgan.
I came to The Briars 5th December 1980, where I currently reside today.
My hobbies are football, rugby and golf. I like all types of music from classical to “Placebo”! I’m outgoing, I have a pleasant personality, and I am always quick to help other people.
