Shoreham event. Blessing the next phase of ministry at The Cliffs.
Sunday January 31st saw a quite large crowd, covid regulations permitting, gathered at The Cliffs, Shoreham.
A year ago, it was hoped that we could celebrate Clare and Artie Shearman taking over the management of The Cliffs from Brian Gallagher as he retired to Blackburn. The plan was to continue the ministry for people to come for quiet and retreat. Then coronavirus – no official blessing and then long lockdown.
A year later, we were able to celebrate the blessing of the work, and Clare is now taking bookings for 2021. Clare welcomed the visitors, friends, Heart of Life and personal connections, Melbourne MSC. Clare was part of the Siloam program for Spiritual Directors at Heart of Life, graduating in 2014. She is now responsible for Heart of Life promotion.
The occasion was also the time for the launch of Brian’s two recent books, The Eyes of God and God’s Foolishness. Hugh McGinley, of Coventry Press, the publishers, also spoke.
It is a joy for the Province that The Cliffs continues to be part of MSC Spirituality.
